Vaultwarden
Bitwarden-compatible password manager for storing, synchronizing and finding credentials, secure notes and other secrets in an encrypted vault.
Overview
Vaultwarden centralizes credentials, passwords and other sensitive data in a vault available from several devices. The service is based on Vaultwarden, a lightweight self-hostable implementation compatible with official Bitwarden clients, which makes it easy to use with tools many people already know.
It is a good choice if you want a more open password manager that is practical in daily use and supports better digital hygiene, helping you avoid weak or reused passwords across multiple services. It is especially useful if you want something more robust than browser memory, text files or improvised storage habits for important secrets.

Why use Vaultwarden
- Keep unique passwords for each service instead of reusing the same ones everywhere.
- Synchronize credentials between desktop, mobile and browser.
- Reduce weak, reused or poorly stored passwords.
- Centralize sensitive information in a tool designed specifically for that purpose.
- Use a service compatible with the Bitwarden ecosystem without relying on the official hosted service.
Main features
- Store logins, passwords, secure notes, cards and other vault data.
- Synchronize between devices through compatible apps and extensions.
- Browser extensions to search, generate and fill credentials from Firefox, Chrome or compatible browsers.
- Generate strong passwords and simplify autofill depending on the client used.
- Support for organizations, sharing, attachments or two-factor authentication depending on configuration and use.
- Access through a web interface and widely known Bitwarden clients.
How the service works
- Vaultwarden is a server compatible with the Bitwarden client API and designed for self-hosting.
- Bitwarden apps and extensions can be configured to connect to this instance.
- Vault data is encrypted client-side before synchronization, following the end-to-end and zero-knowledge model of the Bitwarden ecosystem.
- Because Vaultwarden is not the official Bitwarden server, client compatibility depends on the server being kept up to date.
Use cases
- Store web, application or administrative credentials in a single vault.
- Generate strong passwords for new accounts.
- Find a secret easily from several devices when you actually need it.
- Build a healthier base for personal or small-team access management.
Browser extensions and apps
Vaultwarden is compatible with Bitwarden clients. In browser extensions and mobile or desktop
apps, configure the self-hosted server URL https://passwd.hostux.net as the server
so the clients connect to the Hostux instance instead of the official Bitwarden infrastructure.
- Extensions for Firefox, Chromium-based browsers and other supported browsers.
- Desktop and mobile apps depending on the platform.
- Vault synchronization through the configured Vaultwarden server.
