        That’s what I’m using mostly, but the convenience of having auto fill in firefox and being able to share some logins made me want to try bitwarden. Also, it’s not complicated to sync between several devices.

      I’ve always loved Keepass, however I moved away from it in 2012 as it and any file based vault has brute forcing issues. You need to track every copy of it that has been made and if any copy falls out of your hands, like if you lose a device, you need to do a password rotation on 100% of your passwords. Since its a file, its not possible to prevent brute forcing.

    This is an important issue IMO that needs to be addressed and the official response by Bitwardens CTO fails to do so.

    There is not even a reason provided why such a proprietary license is deemed necessary for the SDK. Furthermore this wasn’t proactively communicated but noticed by users. The locking of the Github Issue indicates that discussion isn’t desired and further communication is not to be expected.

    It is a step in the wrong direction after having accepted Venture Capital funding, which already put Bitwardens opensource future in doubt for many users.

    This is another step in the wrong direction for a company that proudly uses the opensource slogan.

      Welp, I guess another time to move here soon.

      And I just fucking vouched for them to a friend recently 🤡

      Didn’t know about VC funding these parasites using their funding to turn everything into shite.

      What’s the current “best” alternative? Keepass?

        I haven’t jumped yet, but the Proton suite is looking more and more appealing. I’ve been eyeing them as a Gmail replacement, but I’ve been happy with my VPN and password management providers. As this reduces the bundle makes more sense.

          They have a solid value proposition but don’t like putting all my eggs all in one basket both for security and monopoly reasons.

          They seem to be gunning for one stop shop and I think they are doing decent shop but I just don’t like the idea after what Google did to us.

          Situation is a bit different but gonna need to tka the lessons and not let these corpos do this again.

    EDIT: The article has been updated and it was described as a “packaging bug” and not an intended change.

    How many times do I need to pack up and move to the next “best option”

      Sadly as many times as needed, complacency is how these companies get “loyal customers” who are willing to put up with bs

        That’s far from the best option. It’s working, but it’s super complicated compared to Bitwarden and other cloud password managers. Imagine telling your grandma “just use keepass”, she would never be able to make it work. But Bitwarden? Lastpass? That’s possible

    Oh, for fuck’s sake. Can we have a decent password manager that isn’t tied to a browser or company? I pay for Bitwarden. I’m not being cheap. But open source is more secure. We can look at the code ourselves if there’s a concern.
