Vaultwarden is a lightweight, fast, and complete self-hosted password manager web app. It's compatible with Bitwarden desktop app and web extension and profits from all their UX improvements. It allows sharing password vaults with users from the same organization.

Self-hosted open source rust application, much better than the original server, which depends on m$ database(really)

What is Vaultwarden?

Alternative implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust and compatible with upstream Bitwarden clients*, perfect for self-hosted deployment where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.

Features

Basically full implementation of Bitwarden API is provided including:

  • Organizations support
  • Attachments
  • Vault API support
  • Serving the static files for Vault interface
  • Website icons API
  • Authenticator and U2F support
  • YubiKey and Duo support

Note: This project was known as Bitwarden_RS and has been renamed to separate itself from the official Bitwarden server in the hopes of avoiding confusion and trademark/branding issues.
