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.

Get out now

Try keepass on self hosted sandstorm

It does but some of my passkeys didn't work after migrating my bitwarden database

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't think so, but sandstorm can as of a few weeks ago (might not be in main branch yet)

[–] ButtDrugs@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just went all in to bitwarden 🙃. Not ready to change again just yet but will be ready probably once it starts going to shit.

Well, it could be forked of course. The self-hosted version at least.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 89 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Luckily BW is open source, and VaultWarden exists. If they enshitify, all it takes is a fork of the browser extensions and apps with a rebrand.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This right here is the only answer

Companies can try to steal the app but they can only steal the name

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Exactly, IMO Vaultwarden should just fork the clients and extensions and officially take the lead. Bitwarden can just go the way of OpenOffice for all I care.

Gr8. Yet another critical service soon to be gobbled up by PE. I guess I'm moving to Proton Pass.

Why the fuck does everything that's good turn to shit? This world sucks. This timeline sucks.

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (5 children)

it's all motivated by the accumulation of wealth = capitalism

VC ruins everything

This is literally a product where a hobbyist tried to fix a niche, and now the VCs arrive.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago

It's not a timeline. It's just the world we keep making. The only one.

[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 293 points 2 days ago (45 children)

Is it that time when I say "oh shit!" and starts to look at alternatives? I've seen this scenario a hundred times already and I'm tired.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 118 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't have the patience to switch to alternatives until they make a change that actually affects the usability of the tool.

This is absolutely a red flag though.

[–] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 70 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just FYI, you can export your Bitwarden database to plain text and import that with KeePassXC

reading this as someone who migrated the rest of the household to Bitwarden literally yesterday: 😒

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 35 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

This is troubling and I am going to accelerate my migration to Vaultwarden. I'm not going to leave Bitwarden yet but I saw how this played out with LastPass, and I was a happy LastPass customer until I wasn't.

Nothing good ever lasts. Guess that's entropy for you.

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's the investor obsession with forever growth. It ruins everything.

I use proton pass because I our a subscription to proton unlimited and proton pass lets me hide my emails by making a forwarded email which is helpful.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Always happens eventually. You can run Vaultwarden yourself if you have a homelab you trust so passwords never disappears.

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are u using? I just got onto Bitwarden and set up all my credentials there!

1Password took investor funding, moved to subscription and focusing on corporate.

Bitwarden heading the same way. Great…

[–] wraith@lemmy.demanufacture.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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...
