If you are interested in privacy you are probably interested in password storage … plus I wanted everyone to know about the inevitable future enshitification of this product. Spread the word and replacement recommendations are welcome too.

This is really disappointing… I figured the open source nature of Bitwarden would save it from enshittification but as the author says, in the end, the company doesn’t need to keep it open source.
That’s the difference between libre software and merely open source software.
Libre licenses make it hard or impractical to close the source at a later date.
Open source licenses are much more permissive and allow any entity to produce a closed source derivation at any time.
Libre licenses are all about strategically protecting the software commons from privatization.
As soon as VC money comes in, the founders cash out and the enshittification begins as the VC will be expecting returns on their money.
