I deleted my Bitwarden account a few days ago and switched to KeePassXC (and DX) and Syncthing.
Rough getting the whole family on Bitwarden only for them to rug pull what made it good.
I’ll be keeping an eye on forks I guess.
vaultwarden is already reasonably mature for server
I’ve heard good things, issues would mainly pertain to somehow walking non-technical family members through setup.
As well given I don’t have a security background I try to keep my self hosted stuff to non-critical items. Plex going down matters less than “I can’t login to my bank account because the optiplex decided to die while I’m in the office”.
Albeit knowing how locked in many users are made it a great target for PE so should’ve seen that coming.
I just knocked from gmail to proton, so I guess this gives me reason to switch to the included password vault.
It’s a shame I only recently got the rest of the family to begin using bitwarden, so it’ll be a bit of a shock to them.
How will we know when to jump ship and is it already now?
Jump now, before it enshittifies. Start looking for alternatives otherwise they might do something like disable exports. Then you’ll have a really hard time switching.
Disabling exports seems unprecedentedly extreme. I see little to gain from such lock-in even in a financial sense
Tell CrApple that lock-in has little financial gain.
I hope that there’ll be community forks of the bitwarden frontend apps just like there’s
vaultwardenfor the server.I went through a process of programs for this. I can’t remember what was first but I used lastpass for a while… it never felt good and even just meant all websites had an error in the console. Then I used bitwarden for a long time and I can’t remember why but I think it just got worse or annoying. Then using 1password was just so much better, maybe I just tested it and realised how bad bitwarden was. Been on it since. Because I use it for work too (out of choice, but want to get it as a company wide thing) I will stay with it for good. But if I didn’t do it like that I think I’d just commit to everything being proton.
