I am using Bitwarden on my smartphone. I want to use it on CachyOS.

Bitwarden Officially supports Flatpak, Snap, Appimage, .deb, .rpm.

I don't like Flatpak because for every single update, I also have to update Gnome Locale x2, KDE Locale x2 (at least 2 GBs)

Appimage is fine but I have to manually update.

Then, I looked on CachyOS Repo. There is a Bitwarden. Probably built over Arch Extra repos ?

Usually, I just install from CachyOS repo. But, Since I am downloading Bitwarden ( password manager ), I am bit skeptical. Whether this is recommended?

Can anybody help me?

If it's in the Arch or CachyOS repos, it should be perfectly fine. The Arch packages are maintained by trusted devs, and unless the CachyOS team has been backdooring all their optimized builds this entire time with nobody noticing, they seem to be trustworthy, too.

Generally, if you can get it via pacman, you shouldn't have to worry.

That said, it sounds like you would want password autofill and easy adding. For that, don't bother with the desktop app and just use the extension in your browser of choice. There's no autofill via the desktop app.

Thank you for the insight.

Yes. I do want to use autofill feature.

Then what's the point of Desktop app?

You can manage your logins, which I've done before (like importing and exporting records). For general use and autofill, you can exclusively use the web extension.
