# PROS AND CONS
+ what works
- +Single binary or container, runs comfortably on a small VPS or home server
- +Works with the official Bitwarden web, desktop, browser, and mobile clients
- +Implements organizations, Send, emergency access, and most 2FA methods
- +AGPL-3.0, no telemetry, no account ceiling
− watch out for
- −Driven primarily by one maintainer; bus factor is real
- −Not affiliated with or endorsed by Bitwarden, Inc., so upstream API changes can break things
- −Some enterprise features (custom roles, mandatory SSO policy, passkey login) are missing or partial
- −You own backup, TLS, and recovery; losing the data directory means losing the vault
# PRIVACY NOTES
Vaultwarden stores the encrypted vault on infrastructure you control; vault items are encrypted client-side by the official Bitwarden apps before they reach the server, so the operator never sees plaintext credentials. Email addresses, vault metadata, and attachments do live on the host, so jurisdiction follows wherever you run it. The project is unaffiliated with Bitwarden, Inc. and does not phone home.
