https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611#issuecomme... > We have made some adjustments to how the SDK code is organized and packaged to allow you to build and run the app with only GPL/OSI licenses included. The sdk-internal package references in the clients now come from a new sdk-internal repository, which follows the licensing model we have historically used for all of our clients (see LICENSE_FAQ.md for…
Thank you to Bitwarden for relicensing a thing to Free/Open License! Unfortunately, I no longer recommend Bitwarden for normal people because the built-in password manager in Firefox is too good. But for anyone with more advance needs (or who doesn't trust a password manager built into a web browser, I always recommend Bitwarden because KeepassXC + syncing is way too difficult for normal people.
I'm glad that Bitwarden moved quickly to resolve this. At least for me, Firefox's password manager isn't really a replacement. Bitwarden is approved by my employer, self-hostable, and supports logins for the litany of apps across my browsers and mobile devices. Whether it's the mobile app, mobile website, or site in my browser, Bitwarden just works for the most part. It's also quite nice that Bitwarden can store arbi…
There's at least one API-compatible alternative (vaultwarden) which works with the official client.
Yay to breaking down walls.

Bitwarden excels here, and i think is the model to beat. However, Mozilla would have the advantage since their browser integration would essentially be built-in and first class.
Otherwise, unless you use Firefox exclusively for everything I just don't think a single browser is the right place to manage passwords. I would say that's true even for a broad audience, given the importance of passwords and security in the modern age.
Bitwarden is also nice in that you can "lock" access to your passwords while keeping the browser open. That way, for the 99% of the time you're just browsing the internet you essentially don't have access to all your passwords "open". The last time I looked at this I had to enter my master password on opening Firefox, even if I didn't need access to my passwords. That meant that "unlocking your vault" is essentially tied to opening the browser. That alone was enough for me to bail on it.

> Unfortunately, I no longer recommend Bitwarden for normal people because the built-in password manager in Firefox is too good Interesting, I've always felt that browser-based password managers provided remarkably little value for most people. Using them on mobile is tricky and platform dependent, it's easy to have local-only, non-synced data and then lose it, and being multi-device is trickier, especially in a work…
Firefox password sync just works. It's one of those things I never think about. Watching friends and family struggle with bespoke, poorly integrated password managers makes me cringe and is one of the big reasons I enjoy the seamless experience of the built-in Firefox password manager.

> Interesting, I've always felt that browser-based password managers provided remarkably little value for most people. They provide the value of "you should, by design, have no idea what most of your passwords are; if you know any significant number of your passwords you probably have bad passwords". And both Firefox and Chrome sync passwords between devices.

If Mozilla released a separate passwords app so you could manage and access your passwords outside of Firefox I think the two would be more comparable. That would promote your passwords as part of your Mozilla account, not just Firefox. Bitwarden excels here, and i think is the model to beat.

Finally, Bitwarden (the payed version) manager also passkeys and OTP codes, the Firefox password manager not.
