I am very confused by this update message I got from KDE Discover when updating my Fedora Linux.

Bitwarden wants new permissions:

Home folder access: Can read and write files in the following locations without asking for permission:

Below, it lists what look to be profile folders for chrome, edge, chromium, firefox and “mozilla”.

In addition, it wants system folder access: some xdg-config paths for several browsers and the Downloads folder!

What is this?

I cannot find any explanation for this.

Going to uninstall anyways, no thanks.

Rather use the website then, until I setup my own VaultWarden, unless I figure out a good sync for KeePass.

      I do use it but I need some kind of sync between android (grapheneos), windows and linux. This is what I have been using Bitwarden for. I guess it’s time to self-host Vaultwarden. Or this termux-syncthing trick I hear about…

        If you can selfhost, you might also consider an SFTP or WebDav server, as Keepass2Android supports these (and more) ways to sync the databasefile. For Linux (and Windows I think) there are applications like Free File Sync.

          Thanks! Sftp might be the way to go for me…

          Can kp2a open several databases at once?

      Well, I just got rid of the app so that’s that. And I don’t have a github login at hand. If someone can open an issue, feel free. I would like some answers on why they did this. Or is this because of flathub somehow?
