Bitwarden/vaultwarden, as much as I love it, still doesn't let you easily sort by date modified -- and I realized recently I have hundreds of old accounts still knocking around my vault. I'd like to automatically change those passwords (or even mass delete older accounts) but the prospect of doing so manually has stopped me from moving forward with that chore as of yet. I remember Lastpass had a password changer tool that went through your vault and automagically changed passwords where possible -- is there some other kind of third party tool or process or script I can use with my bitwarden vault? I've been thinking I could export the vault to a json, create a lastpass account, upload the json, and then power through it; but that seems like a less than ideal situation for some reason.

The CLI has more functionality than the API, so you might have better luck listing all entries that way then looping through the details of each entry if the list doesn't contain the datetime.

Ah thanks appreciate it. Will do.

If the exported Json contains dates, its easy to write a simple python/any language script to sort it accordingly

[–] Gutless2615@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

It unfortunately does not.

I remember using that Lastpass feature years ago and it never worked except for like 5 popular sites.

Do not upload your passwords to LastPass. I'm serious.

I used to be on LP, but they've had so many security breaches they've lost all trust.

I think you’re either stuck writing a custom script or uploading to an online service that can do the mass update, then back out all your data. I had lastpass then ditched them after the breach when they didn’t clearly communicate user impact. The auto change password functionality was hit or miss for me, so if you go this route make sure you get the functionality you need from a company you can trust.

Though if you do this once with strong unique passwords, you shouldn’t have to do a mass update again, right?

Keepass works great and you can use syncthing to keep up to date keyfiles on all your devices. I use keepassxc on PC and keepassdx on mobile.

That’s not the problem I’m attempting to solve. Vaultwarden works great at keeping my passwords up to date and synced across all my devices. I self host, that’s not the issue. I mean this is in the most polite way I can, but did you read the OP? Was I unclear?

I guess to more thoroughly answer your question - no. I don't know of any tool to make that process easier, but every keepass client I've used has functionality to sort by date modified.

I just suggest KeePass instead of online password managers if you care about privacy and freedom.
