From a post here I realized Bitwarden (the password manager) is an US company. I also noticed when I login into bitwarden, I login into the bitwarden.com domain.
There now seems to be a bitwarden.eu domain too. Did anybody try to migrate their account from the .com (US) to .eu (EU) region?
Is the process really so weird? Do you really have to create a separate .eu account then migrate your passwords by exporting/importing from account to account manually? And then closing your .com account? This also suppsedly involves cancelling your subscription in the US region and rebuying it in the EU one.
I am aware I can use keepass or vaultwarden and self host rather than paying to the US, I just don’t trust the resiliency of my own homelab as I am abroad a lot and can’t afford for my passwords to be unavailable. So I’m doing this as a half measure

EDIT: I created a .eu account with the same mail as my .com account, exported an encrypted json from my .com account where I have premium, imported into the new .eu account without a subscription, then wrote to support using https://bitwarden.com/contact/ (sent to billing department) to transfer my subscription. They replied very quickly with an automated e-mail to which I needed to respond “YES MIGRATE MY SUBSCRIPTION - [bunchofnumbers]” and they moved my subscription.
It took like 30 minutes from my initial e-mail to complete the whole process.
Your passwords aren’t unavailable at least with Keepass, I don’t know about Vaultwarden. There is a local encrypted copy of the database, it’s accessible completely offline. I sync mine through self-hosted Nextcloud, it doesn’t care if my server is up or on fire. Even if I lose everything remote permanently, I still have the local copy. I have it on my phone, I have it on my desktop, I have it on my laptop, I have it at a backup site at my brother’s house in a different part of the country, I can have it distributed across dozens of locations.
True, I think I’ll just put the .kbdx keepass db file into my mailbox.org webdav mount for simplicity if I go with keepass. Though the Android Keepass DX app doesn’t play well with accessing kbdx over an Android documentprovider for webdav like davx5 or material files
Nice to see a fellow keepass/mailbox user! I used to store my .kbdx file on the mailbox.org cloud as an emergency backup from my nextcloud home server. Until mailbox.org decided to remove the 100MB webdav storage from paid basic accounts…
@thyristor well, I store it on my instance provider’s Nextcloud instance. If it hits the limit in any way (500 MB) I’ll just choose a different solution.
