Hmm, I use bitwarden. Enshittification is on the horizon, i suppose

Same. I'm switching either into Keypass or Proton Pass

Do you have thoughts on vaultwarden?

reply

Yeah, I could do that, but I don't have stable enough living, so I would sometimes be offline, etc. So I would have to host it on some VPS and that doesn't seem worth the money to me at this point (with all that added cost of maintenance, etc).

I got start 9's beta OS running with start9 tunnel, which is their open source VPN-esque tunneling. It works really well and you just need the cheapest VPS available running debian 13 and you just install curl and then run the code and never have to deal with it again (they have a good step by step video on their website). Highly recommend looking into it, im like a novice with VPS and CLI and was able to set it up.

Self host!

The bitwarden UI has also been getting worse over the years. It was not great to start with, but they somehow made it worse.

The phrase “Always free” disappeared from the personal password manager page
The pattern is always the same: build trust, establish dependency, then quietly renegotiate the terms

Another philosophy another company

I was transferring my logins from bitwarden to keepass files slowly and safely, now Ill going full on it.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't noticed any of the things the post flags.

The new leadership with a potential eye on mergers and acquisition does not bode well, but I'm less troubled by the possibility that they will abandon "free forever." Even if it isn't a very good look.

Paying for good software seems reasonable.
