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.

I knew trouble was brewing when they started adding the little corporate cute waving graphics and stuff to the UI. Glad I already migrated away

is proton pass good?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yes. If you’re looking for a cloud solution, Proton Pass is quite good. I switched from Bitwarden about 6 months ago. Works great.

Proton pass has been fine for me. I don’t care that the one Proton guy said the one thing that time, I’m out of energy and it’s good enough.

Self hosting is the new battefront for the individual's right to sovereign data

why even have "Motto" if you are just going to renege on it.

[–] badgermurphy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

In this case, not having a motto would have made them able to get further down the enshittification path before anyone noticed. They just warned us.

Where do I go if I want to move? Must have free tier and cloud sync (or when my devices are online they sync automatically). Suppose I'm gonna look into proton.

Experienced this with 1 Password. Experienced this with Enpass in another way. Really doesn't want to experience this with Bitwarden especially because of self-hosting. Let's hold thumbs but, apparently, it was fun while it lasted...

"Equity" or "Capital" = the kiss of death

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 11 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Anyone have any idea how this affects Vaultwarden, if at all?
