I knew I was on borrowed time when Bitwarden got the VC funding. I’ve also been using KeePassXC (on desktop), Proton Pass and the built-in password manager on iOS. So far, Proton Pass also seems to be slow on its development pace, just like Bitwarden. I’m looking at KeePass apps on iOS, but haven’t decided on them (the contenders seem to be MiniKeePass, KeePassium and Strongbox). I won’t miss Bitwarden though.
I moved to Bitwarden years ago (as a paid subscriber) from LastPass after their breaches and everything went to hell there.
And Bitwarden HAS innovated, or at least evolved with the times. They support passkeys now. They've had security key support for a while. They allow you to save your OTPs (though the wisdom of having your OTPs for MFA and your password in the same entity is questionable). I use their secure file send every other day. Password managers don't have to stagnate any more than any other applications.
I'd say this guy should just install Keepass or Passwordsafe on his PC.
It sucks that Bitwarden is apparently moving away from open source, but I'll probably stick with them for now. LastPass and their competitors aren't even pretending to be friendly to the open source community.
I also keep a backup of my Bitwarden vault in KeePass on my PC, and a plaintext version on an encrypted drive, just in case.
So it's not time then
A year ago.. I'm guessing this is surfacing now because of the recent thread about BW [0], so the question can be raised again if it's time now to migrate away.
I like the UX a lot more tha keepass, it has been better at handling mfa across multiple devices than lastpass, i can self host or not, the pricing has been super reasonable.
It does the job perfectly in my opinion.
