I am very confused by this update message I got from KDE Discover when updating my Fedora Linux.

Bitwarden wants new permissions:

Home folder access: Can read and write files in the following locations without asking for permission:

Below, it lists what look to be profile folders for chrome, edge, chromium, firefox and “mozilla”.

In addition, it wants system folder access: some xdg-config paths for several browsers and the Downloads folder!

What is this?

I cannot find any explanation for this.

Going to uninstall anyways, no thanks.

Rather use the website then, until I setup my own VaultWarden, unless I figure out a good sync for KeePass.

    If you can selfhost, you might also consider an SFTP or WebDav server, as Keepass2Android supports these (and more) ways to sync the databasefile. For Linux (and Windows I think) there are applications like Free File Sync.
