About VaultWarden

It is written in Rust and built for self-hosted deployment, where the official resource-heavy Bitwarden service might not be ideal. The project is not associated with Bitwarden, Inc., though one active maintainer is employed by Bitwarden and contributes on their own time. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
