Luckily if they die another will rise up. At this point I’m thinking I’ll just use the Apple Keychain if Bitwarden gets up to no good again.
I don't know what it is, but password managers just love the high-speed enshittification train.
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.
People here are incredibly hard to please. Very clearly a packaging issue that got blown out of proportion. They've done largely the right things for _years_ in terms of security. They've operated pretty transparently in terms of open sourcing. They've allowed vaultwarden to exist, and eventually created a self hostable version as well. But one bad release with a license screw up and nobody is willing to give them an…
> But one bad release with a license screw up and nobody is willing to give them an inch? I don't have a lot of context on the issue. Is it clear it was just a packaging bug, rather than a move towards partially proprietary?
What would be a good way to backup the passwords stored in Bitwarden? I am worried that someday suddenly bitwarden could stop working and I will lose access to all the stored passwords? Should I have a physical copy of all the passwords stored in a vault at home?

Use syncthing to stay in sync.

I store the password vault in dropbox. Done.
100% serious question: how is using dropbox (one cloud) to sync passwords any better or more secure than using a password manager that syncs your vault for you (another cloud)? I see so many "I don't trust so I use dropbox" comments around these parts and I just don't understand what real or perceived threat is being mitigated.

> 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.

Is the Firefox one better than the one Edge has? I've been using that for a while and it seems quite good overall.
