Straight talk
Where each one wins
Where LastPass may still be the better fit
- You want a fully managed service with no server to think about
- You depend on LastPass-specific sharing features
- You prefer not to run your own server at all
- You've already audited and are comfortable with their posture
Our honest take: if you've stuck with LastPass and are comfortable, that's your call. If the breaches pushed you to move and you want your encrypted vault on a server you control, Vaultwarden on our hosting is the honest choice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my LastPass vault?
Yes. Vaultwarden accepts the standard Bitwarden and LastPass CSV exports, so your logins, notes, and folders carry over.
Is Vaultwarden compatible with the Bitwarden apps?
Yes. Vaultwarden is an independent implementation of the Bitwarden server API, so you use the official Bitwarden browser extensions, desktop, and mobile apps against your own server.
Can you see my passwords?
No. Vaultwarden is end-to-end encrypted. Your vault is encrypted with your master password on your device, so we host the encrypted data but cannot read it.
