Open source alternatives to Bitwarden

One project on starwire does the same job. Ranked by how much of what Bitwarden does each one covers, read from its README and website. Ties go to the most active.

What Bitwarden does

  1. Store and fill passwordscore
  2. Sync across devicescore
  3. Browser extensions and appscore
  4. Password generator
  5. Secure sharing with others
  6. Two-factor codes
  7. Secure notes and cards
  8. Self-hosting

Each dot in the table is one job, in this order. Square dots are core jobs and count double. Full means yes, half means partly. "See the evidence" under a project shows the line behind each one. Coverage is what a project documents, not how well it works or how hard it is to move to. How we score this
