Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto (www.fastcompany.com)

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

It took me years after the lastpass breach to get my wife and 1/3 of my kids to switch to Bitwarden. I am not looking to having to migrate again.

[–] terabyterex@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

but exporting is easy with bitwarden. this is annoying. after the age check laws, i have been moving off big companies because it will be bad snd i know my migration will take a bit. i finalized bitwarden a couple weeks ago and was just about to assist my family.

i would not be as upset if ram and harddtives didnt cost a mortgage right now.

It does not matter how easy exporting is, the difficulty is going someone who really does not understand why they should be using a password locker to use one, much less change to a different one.

You won't have to. Bitwarden is FOSS. The server is able to be self hosted so "migration" will just be you moving their account to the self hosted one if things go south

Does this mean other companies are hosting compatible servers to switch to?

I mean some may be offering that but it means you can just rent a cheap. VPS and host your own
