I've been using Bitwarden for about 4 years now and cannot understand how a Password Manager does not export attachments when backing up your data. I understand this was the case when the only export format was a CSV file, but now with JSON files I can't get my head around the fact that I almost missed crucial SSH keys had I not checked the output. A simple solution would be to b64 encode each file and add it into an array!

It's even mentioned on their Help page - https://bitwarden.com/help/export-your-data/ but I still think it's a bit unacceptable that there isn't even a warning in the GUI about this.

And yes, I know there are ways to manually export the files, but I shouldn't have to do that.

The idea behind this is pretty simple and it was developed to solve the following scenario:

* I have a RPi with an encrypted drive attached (which is mounted on boot) where all my backups are synced (and from there rsynced to a remote location).

* If both RPi & HDD are stolen then they will have access to the data as the password is hardcoded.

* To solve this, GPG encrypt the password and upload it. Use the script to pass it as a subcommand to the mount command. A simple example with mysqldump would be:

  mysqldump -ubackup -p$(rpass.sh "MySQL") > /tmp/backup.sql

* If the device is stolen, disable the GPG password on the website and your data is safe.

I have a few things on the roadmap but wanted to get a feel if this is something people would use before spending more time on it (it's currently only doing what I initially planned for it to do).
