Hi.

I stopped self hosting vaultwarden several months ago and switched to
the bitwarden unified beta instead because vaultwarden would not auto
sync on the android app when a change was made. Instead I had to
manually sync for changes to sync to other devices. I remember looking
into it at that time and it was a feature that was missingbjkfrd as
missing from vaultwarden on their GitHub page.

Well now I was looking at their GitHub page and it appears to no
longer have this listed as a missing feature. So I wanted to ask
anyone who self hosts vaultwarden if this has been addressed and you
can confirm it from testing? I want to switch back to vaultwarden but
only if this feature has been sorted out.

It's been working for me for some time and just sanity tested before
answering this post.   If I recall there was a websocket+port required
for the live sync to work. Some reading: [https://github.com/dani-

So just to be clear, if you add a new entry on your mobile app right
now, without clicking "sync vault" on the mobile app, it will show the
new entry on your browser extension or desktop app? You're sure?
