Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
Keepass vault synced over syncthing.
I keep not regretting it.
I was thinking the same. But, it is safe to share the password database like this?
Well this ain't good. I don't really feel like switching apps.
That's how they get you. Jump ship now
Anyone looking at this...what alternatives are out there?
This is disheartening.
sigh
so what's the best pw manager?
Honestly, it's Bitwarden right now. This move signals their intent to change that, though.
Proton Pass is open source and the company that runs it recently reincorporated as a Swiss non-profit to ensure their privacy mission can't be bought out by venture capitalists etc.
Vaultwarden is a nice self hosted bitwarden alternative

Some prefer using KeepassXC and sync the database between devices

+1 For KeePassXC and the KeePass ecosystem. Yes, you need to sync the database yourself, but you can use any file sharing service you like, e.g. google drive, dropbox... or selfhost something like nextcloud (like I do), which for me is actually a point in its favor.
Based on this news, I think I made the right choice back then when I decided to go with KeePass.
As someone who used to use KeePass, went to LastPass, and then Bitwarden (Vaultwarden), I finally got my non-tech literate wife to use Bitwarden. I’m concerned that KeePass might end up being more difficult if it comes down to it. I believe that KeePass had some sort of browser integration but it really has been a long time since I used it so who knows the current state. Curious how browser integration is today.
Vaultwarden is Bitwarden--at least for now, this change may push them apart.
Keepass? No cross device support, you need to manage that yourself through something like Google Drive...
What do you mean "no cross device support"? KeePassXC supports Win, Mac, Linux and there are iOS and Android apps available...
As for the lack of cloud and requirement to provide your own synchronization, for some (like me) that's a feature, not a limitation :)
Sooo, where's ProtonPass at? They're open source and non-profit, right?
The server is not open source and I wouldn't trust a business that is not just working on password managers.
Its worth noting I don't think they're actually a company anymore, I think they're now a non-profit (I may be mistaken, but that's my present understanding)
and I wouldn't trust a business that is not just working on password managers.
Because..? They're a privacy tool oriented company, no?
Because they aren't focused on just one single service. Bitwarden is a single business only focusing on their password manager, whereas proton has a suite of tools. Passwords need to be stored absolutely in a robust and safe way. I don't trust proton with anything at all, and the proton pass is no exception. The client might be open source, but the backend is not. It's also not as mature as bitwarden.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
