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 is FOSS.

And securely hosting a password manager that is accessible over WAN links is beyond the capability of most users.

  1. FOSS includes distributive right. Bitwarden is not.
  2. I agree self hosting maybe hard, but one could always go for KeepassXC with any generic cloud storage.

What generic cloud storage do you trust?

It is an encrypted file using AES-256 so unless your threat model is state actors dedicating a data center to brute forcing it, it's probably ok mostly anywhere.
