Bitwarden Premium and Families plans now have new capabilities to account for a modern cyber landscape needing to anticipate threats before they happen and allowing users to proactively safeguard their digital assets.
Even if we put aside enshittification, who is asking for these features? I never did; I just want a plan that has password, TOTP, and Passkey management + sharing. If people want all that extra stuff, like email masking, secure sending, and gigantic attachments, let them pay $20 a ~~month~~ year and let the rest of us have a $10 plan with just password management + sharing.
This seems like some executive losing the plot of what this software is to people.

Out-of-touch C suites who get their news from the same place that techbro shareholders get their news from.
People need to remember that Bitwarden is just another VC-funded entity abusing the FOSS community for leverage until they go public when the VC bros start demanding returns. I tried moving from KeePass to Bitwarden 5 or 6 years ago, but something about it just smelled "off" to me, so I stuck with KeePass. Glad I did.
All VC-funded projects will enshittify at some point. Pay attention.

It is 20$ a year, isn't it?
Yes, correct. I wrote the wrong thing.
I would love this approach! Let existing users stay on a grandfathered plan that keeps the same price and features unless they want to upgrade!
