What is Goldwarden?

Goldwarden is a Bitwarden compatible desktop client. It focuses on providing useful desktop features that the official tools do not (yet) have or are not willing to add (for example, because the integrations are not mature enough for a broad userbase), and enhanced security measures that other tools do not provide, such as:

  • Support for SSH Agent (Git signing and SSH login)
  • System wide autotype (On Linux (Wayland/XOrg), Mac and Windows)
  • Biometric authentication
  • Implements Bitwarden browser-extension biometrics on Linux
  • Support for injecting environment variables into the environment of a cli command
  • Vault content is held encrypted in memory and only briefly decrypted when needed
  • Kernel level memory protection for keys (via the memguard library)
  • Additional measures to protect against memory dumps
  • Passwordless login (Both logging in, and approving logins)
  • Fido2 (Webauthn) support
  • more to come...?

The aim is not to replace the official clients, but to complement by implementing the missing features.
