I've been developing my own TUI Bitwarden client recently: https://github.com/luryus/wden

I need passwords outside of the browser quite frequently (when SSHing to servers and so on), and the official Electron app just feels clunky and heavy to use and keep running constantly in the background. So creating a small and lightweight client optimized for my own usage patterns has been really useful. It may be useful for others, too, while the official client is broken.

There's an official CLI though isn't there?
Yes, but it is quite uncomfortable to use, requiring you to get a session key and storing it somewhere. Instead, I've had good experiences with [rbw]. Maybe that would also be interesting for GP.

I've used to rbw for a rofi (and rofi-like frontend): https://github.com/fdw/rofi-rbw/

[rbw]: https://github.com/doy/rbw/

You can detach the browser addon into its own window too, I would be too cautious using any third party clients like that.
