Fine to me as long as this doesnt impact Vaultwarden

Having only ever used keepass, what was the advantage of bitwarden? That you didn't need to sync it yourself?

There is no way I'm self hosting something this important... So now I'm not sure what to do actually.

All these people keep saying that Vaultwarden won't work because it relies on bitwarden's API but if there is an incompatibility then wouldn't vaultwarden just be left in a functional limbo? Like it'll still work because self hosted but no more new features in parity with official client? Or have I misunderstood the connection between the two

Well, we all know how this ends...

It's a really sad day for me, I love Bitwarden, it's easily the best password manager I've used, and I'm in IT, I've used a bunch.

Fuck private equity, fuck it to death. But until then, I'll be moving my test setup for KeyPassXC into production over the coming weeks and months.

I was happily subscribed to Bitwarden for years for my personal account, I moved several people and a whole company onto it's platform. We had a good run, time to move on.

So, Vaultwarden it is?

Heh, I'm looking at you to those people that looked at me weird because I told them I was good with Keepass!

Sure, it's no change for self hosters currently, but it's one more step in moving towards a more closed platform overall. I do hope more FOSS client apps end up getting made sometime soon. I've been using Keyguard on Android for some time, which means the recent several breaking changes in the Bitwarden apps to the Vaultwarden backend haven't hit me as hard, but I do still use the official apps for my laptop and desktop and Keyguard isnt fully FOSS, of course. I'd love to see some forks or brand new apps one of these days that are actually fully FOSS for both mobile and browsers. I've thought about doing some myself, but I have too many other projects and I also don't have a MAC or want to pay the fees to make an iPhone version. And I abandoned my Android Developer account when they started the identity nonsense, so none of my apps are on the official store anymore and Fdroid and similar may not be viable soon, so it would only really be for myself and a few others who use alternate Android OS's.

I guess we're gonna see more open-source apps soon, aimed at Vaultwarden first

Are they still going to publish the Android client app via their own F-Droid repository?
