Glad for them and I really hope them to succeed in the long run, engrosing the list of successful bussiness based on OS. As a side note, I've been tempted so many times at this point on getting a payed subscription and getting rid of my "keepass+keepassdb sync via Google drive+keepass keyfile local copy on each device" for the sake of making things simpler.

> Why would a password manager need so much money? The announcement suggests they are looking to also launch their own authentication service and tools for managing application secrets.
How did I have to scroll this far down to find someone who's actually read the post? Everybody seems to think the money is purely for expanding the password manager, while in the post they call out adjacent markets they want to expand to. I'm cautiously optimistic that this could mean we won't see the end of Bitwarden, as those are areas where companies will pay big money.

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”
> and not enough people are willing to pay for it to be a profitable business. 1Password is doing just fine..
1Password’s desktop app is much worse than it use to be all while each platforms built in capabilities are getting better.
Been using google password since lastpass turning on paywall. What's your opinion of Bitwarden? Reasons to give it a try? Having all passwords locked up is no fun.
After lastpass, I am a little wary about password managers. Not sure when they plan to "monetize" me. Been using google password since lastpass turning on paywall. What's your opinion of Bitwarden? Reasons to give it a try? Having all passwords locked up is no fun.

If you can trust that will stay at the end of the honeymoon, which is very much not a given in these cases. At least vaultwarden is independent and someone can fork the clients when needed.
How is vaultwarden more independent than bitwarden? Aren't they both FOSS and can be forked?
Plus it is AGPL + CLA so bitwarden themselves can do what they want
It’s the password manager of my choice. I hope they manage to survive. Maybe they should try increasing their annual fee. At $10/year it’s a steal
Building and maintaining clients for all operating systems and browsers probably costs the most, but it can likely be done by 1 or 2 full time engineers.
Or am I completely underestimating the complexity of something like this?
Bitwarden already does one thing well. It's everything I'm looking for - open source, costs money but not much ($10/yr), 2FA, clean interface. I'm happy for the new investment, but I hope they don't start adding new things just for the sake of growing. Also - to the people who analyze funding rounds - $100M sounds like a huge amount to me. Why would a password manager need so much money?
Also "OSS" version is not really open source, it's just core and all the features you really want from password manager are behind the paid license anyway
Bitwarden replaced lastpass for me and really i'd never go back. 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!
