There is one underrated feature that I switched to Bitwarden for, away from KeePass: the emergency contact access. You can designate contacts that can request access to your account. If you don't deny the request within a time frame, they are granted access.

So much of our lives is now digital. Important accounts of all kinds, banking, etc.

Waiting on several giant corps to grant your loved ones access after they go through the bureaucratic hole of documentation is... rough.

Putting my master password in my will feels the same as just writing it on a note on my desk. Putting it in a note in a safety deposit box is high effort and cost.

Anyone got a better alternative way to set this up if self-hosting and not going with Vaultwarden?

Any reason not to go with vaultwarden? It is pretty feature-parity with normal Bitwarden, up to and including the emergency access stuff
