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.

    I've been using it for years. But I have been waiting for this day to come. Because it always comes at some point without fail.

    You still have some time to decide which route to go. If you're on the free version, stay there, but start looking for alternatives.

    Proton Pass is an option. KeePass with Syncthing works great, but it is a dramatically different and more involved workflow.

    I am using both, and deleted my Bitwarden account yesterday the moment I heard about this.

    Also, I can't suggest enough that you export all your credentials to an encrypted json file every now and then, and store it on an offline storage device. This is important.

    It's a very easy migration from Bitwarden to a self-hosted and OSS Vaultwarden, if you have means to self-host. Appreciably, many don't want to self-host their own apps and I'm not defending Bitwarden's enshittification at all. It comes for all tech at some point :(

    I would say that Vaultwarden might not be the best introduction to self hosting given the critical nature and sensitivity of the data. And if you do maybe block the admin page from external sources.
