Hello everyone!

Starting in the next release, the Bitwarden apps published to the various stores will be the commercially licensed builds. No action is needed, and the apps will work exactly as they do today.

Bitwarden remains committed to open source security and transparency
The GPLv3 OSS licensed version continues to be updated and published on GitHub
All current features are available in both versions
License details are on GitHub
Bitwarden remains committed to a robust, free forever plan for everyone

If you have any questions, please ask them in this thread. Thanks all!

EDIT:

Bitwarden is not going closed-source
You can still fork Bitwarden
No change to self-hosting, the licensing change affects those who are repackaging and reselling Bitwarden
The free plan is here to stay permanently

Uh, what should I go with now? I don't want to self-host password manager, as any downtime would be critical. Also, I heard handling sync in Keepass is a pain. Is there a reliable alternative, one that I don't need to constantly worry about?

    I'm using Keepass + Synthing for years - absolutely no pain and my data belongs only to me

    You don't even need a server for this, PC and smartphone is enough

    The hell with corporate cloud services, embrace self-hosting, because you can easily!
