Bitwarden introduced a non-free dependency to their clients. The Bitwarden CTO tried to frame this as a bug but his explanation does not really make it any less concerning.

Perhaps it is time for alternative Bitwarden-compatible clients. An open source client that's not based on Electron would be nice. Or move to something else entirely? Are there any other client-server open source password managers?

Have got two of my family members onto bitwarden and even that is a lot for the tech-illiterate. Couldn't imagine Keepass+syncthing.

Ultimately, bitwarden is better than using hunter12 for everything like how they were.

Better than using what? All I see is a bunch of stars.
