How do you trust the word of a company that doesn’t have a profitable business model? Just wait for the inevitable “Our Amazing Journey” post on their website.
I don't understand, how is their business model not profitable? Their business model is, as I understand it, paid subscriptions.

How exactly is it violating the AGPL for the author to change licenses? They require contributors to assign copyright so... BitWarden belongs entirely to BitWarden.
Because if you've accepted patches you're not the author of the entire code base anymore. So it's not your own work, but a collaboration. This is why I never sign CLA. Since I'm basically signing my rights away.
That's not to say I agree with them and it's obviously shitty behaviour – but license violation is a specific act that they aren't guilty of.

I hope things goes well for Bitwarden, but I'm also expecting an amazing journey in their future. I really doubt that there's enough money to be made as is to yield an acceptable return on investments for the $100M, plus whatever Battery Ventures have already put forward.

That's only possible if Bitwarden requires a CLA, do they require a CLA for commits/PRs?
Isn't a CLA just a standard CYA move from more established open source projects? I had to sign one to contribute to Django as well and I don't see them "pulling a MongoDB" any time soon. My assumption is this is so that they're legally protected from contributors revoking the right to use their contribution at some later point or other obnoxious legal shenanigans.
The other common form of CLA is a copyright assignment (or something equivalent) to a foundation or company representing the project, which is much more troublesome. This allows them to basically do whatever they want with your contribution, including charging for it, or closing the source all together.
My only gripe is filling in card details, there is never a floating icon to click to do it automatically, you need to go to the menu bar and select the card.
Apart from that all perfect!

Yes, and what is that one like the 6th or more "auth standard" they all "agreed to" before promptly doing their own variations which then get spun into a new standard they all "agree" to before.......
Even if that is the case, storing passwords across devices is a solved problem and not enough people are willing to pay for it to be a profitable business. “It’s a feature not a product”
1Password is doing just fine..
Keypassxc,keypassxc browser plug-in, strongbox app for iPhone. Cloud drive of your choice for syncing. Works well

Their business model is not profitable by definition if they are spending more money than they are bringing in requiring outside funding.
