Is it that time when I say "oh shit!" and starts to look at alternatives? I've seen this scenario a hundred times already and I'm tired.

Luckily BW is open source, and VaultWarden exists. If they enshitify, all it takes is a fork of the browser extensions and apps with a rebrand.

Why the fuck does everything that's good turn to shit? This world sucks. This timeline sucks.

reading this as someone who migrated the rest of the household to Bitwarden literally yesterday: 😒

The company has long defined its values with the acronym “GRIT,” which used to stand for “Gratitude, Responsibility, Inclusion, and Transparency.” After May 4, it changed the acronym to stand for “Gratitude, Responsibility, Innovation, and Trust.”

It's not as bad as the headline seems. Transparency is still in the motto. The actual change is:

But still. Why change it at all? Why replace "inclusion" with "innovation"?

It smells like Tech Bro.

There's just no way to spin that positively, even giving them the benefit of the doubt, especially since they aren't rolling it back. Someone spent effort to make that values change, so its not an accident nor a "nothingburger".

Well, it was fun while it lasted, lol.

Self hosting is the new battefront for the individual's right to sovereign data

This is troubling and I am going to accelerate my migration to Vaultwarden. I'm not going to leave Bitwarden yet but I saw how this played out with LastPass, and I was a happy LastPass customer until I wasn't.

They took the VC money

Update: After publication, an employee on the Bitwarden subreddit said that “Always free” had been restored on its pricing page, calling it an “oversight” by the marketing team. The product page for Bitwarden’s personal password manager remains unchanged.

Nothing good ever lasts. Guess that's entropy for you.

"Equity" or "Capital" = the kiss of death

Fuuuuuuck

I knew trouble was brewing when they started adding the little corporate cute waving graphics and stuff to the UI. Glad I already migrated away

Great I bought a paid subscription for it all this time for it to end up like this, I'm done with anything that is not self hosted now on, I'll just convert my old laptop into a home server

Experienced this with 1 Password. Experienced this with Enpass in another way. Really doesn't want to experience this with Bitwarden especially because of self-hosting. Let's hold thumbs but, apparently, it was fun while it lasted...

I guess it's time to move to vaultwarden sooner rather than later.... This wasn't supposed to be the weekend project, but fuck it; let's roll with it!

Why people bother with any corporate software when it really don't provide much more than completely FOSS alternatives

1Password took investor funding, moved to subscription and focusing on corporate.

Bitwarden heading the same way. Great…

Run.

ProtonPass is run by a non-profit if you have to move to another hosted solution.

Otherwise there's multiple self-hostable options, including plain file sync options.

Use this example as learning experience that the type of the firm you're buying a service from is very important as it changes whose interests it puts first, second and last.

“You either die the hero, or you live long enough to become the villain”

Why does every good thing always have to go to shit. Sigh.

Proton pass has been fine for me. I don’t care that the one Proton guy said the one thing that time, I’m out of energy and it’s good enough.

I guess I won't be recommending Botwarden to normies anymore.
