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.

As long as they don't enshittify the mobile apps and browser extensions, I'm neither surprised nor concerned. Vaultwarden exists.

And if they do ruin the client end, I expect third-party alternative clients, or a wholly new alternative, will appear soon enough.

(Yes, yes, "b-but KeePass!" folks... I've been there.)

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

Glad I didn't let myself get talked into switching to Bitwarden from my boring KeepassXC setup...

This was the headline that finally prompted me to figure out why KeePass wasn't working on Librewolf.

(KeePass doesn't work with the flatpak version of Librewolf, you need to install it through terminal.)

Why people bother with any corporate software when it really don't provide much more than completely FOSS alternatives

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.

This is not great but the strength of vaultwarden on the back of the bitwarden brand will give us forked clients as soon as they stop allowing self-hosters to set their instance.

The standard unix password manager, people.

There's almost no password manager to it.

Goddammit.

Moved to proton pass a while ago. Bitwarden support is just shit.

[–] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Let the enshittification begin.
