Switched to bitwarden as soon as they tried to charge a sub for multiple devices, I see that was the right choice

Are you not worried your vault is still on their servers? I feel most companies don’t delete shit. Most have ways to get around it saying they keep some info for taxes, accounting, etc.

I wouldn’t sleep well knowing my passwords were on there at any given time.

You can host a bitwarden vault yourself. They open sourced and audited. So, trustworthy that there's no back door somewhere to some degree.

I suspect they're referring to LastPass?

Ah, make sense. I thought they asked about using Bitwarden's server.
