#2"Always free" was never sustainable for a password manager that took VC money and now needs growth at all costs [0].
Obviously predictable. Bitwarden is now in the extraction phase and it is now time to pay an expensive...
...$1.65 a month.

#4Now I started to worry about their clients openness to work with valultwarden. They also said in the past they will not change the behavior to not accept third party servers. But who knows now.

#5Thank you so much for posting this. I have been paying the annual 10$ (which went up by 2$ this year), but now it looks like I have to pay a whopping 30$ a year (a 3x increase, with no increase in features or value at all).
The cherry on the shit cake is that they did not give me any heads up at all. Quite sad. Bitwarden has been consistently one of the best pieces of softwares I have ever used. Simple, just does what it does and gets out of the way.
Sad really ...

Compared with KeePassXC and Syncthing, it is infinitely more expensive!

Have been a customer for years, but if the core values are going away, so am I. It's not even about the money.

Oh yeah, I love having to manage sync conflicts in my password database because I was dumb enough to edit it on two separate computers that weren't both online at the same time.

#9I stopped endorsing closed-source software to friends and family years ago, because you can't trust the companies behind them not to quietly change directions.
Years ago I used a free workout app that I really liked. After a few months of using it I recommended it to friends. I only much later found out that I was on a grandfathered version of the free plan without ads or restrictions. The company had made changes to the free plan since I joined, and all new accounts (like my friends) were subject to ads and restrictions.
It was embarrassing to have unknowingly recommending something like that.

Do you have to self host it?
I'm moderately decent at self hosting. I'm fairly confident in my backups and security.
But also, I am not a system backup nor security expert, and I don't want to become either.
The one last thing that I really want to leave to the experts is my secrets management.
