Sadly as many times as needed, complacency is how these companies get "loyal customers" who are willing to put up with bs
Just go to Keepass and its over
That's far from the best option. It's working, but it's super complicated compared to Bitwarden and other cloud password managers. Imagine telling your grandma "just use keepass", she would never be able to make it work. But Bitwarden? Lastpass? That's possible

Oh, for fuck’s sake. Can we have a decent password manager that isn’t tied to a browser or company? I pay for Bitwarden. I’m not being cheap. But open source is more secure. We can look at the code ourselves if there’s a concern.
Its called Keepass. You are welcome
Keepass: Am I a joke to you?
Love Keepass. Love that I can sync it however I want. Love that there are multiple open source client options across several operating systems.
Android syncthing announced they’re stopping development this year. Open source got fucked double today
terrible day. There is a fork called syncthing-fork that is under current development. I hope both projects merge.

This is an important issue IMO that needs to be addressed and the official response by Bitwardens CTO fails to do so.
There is not even a reason provided why such a proprietary license is deemed necessary for the SDK. Furthermore this wasn’t proactively communicated but noticed by users. The locking of the Github Issue indicates that discussion isn’t desired and further communication is not to be expected.
It is a step in the wrong direction after having accepted Venture Capital funding, which already put Bitwardens opensource future in doubt for many users.
This is another step in the wrong direction for a company that proudly uses the opensource slogan.
Welp, I guess another time to move here soon.
And I just fucking vouched for them to a friend recently 🤡
Didn't know about VC funding these parasites using their funding to turn everything into shite.
What's the current "best" alternative? Keepass?
It's not open source, but I got a lifetime license for Enpass over a decade ago and it's done everything I've ever needed it for. I think stacksocial occasionally has new lifetime codes for sale. I like the idea of Proton Pass as others have said, but it feels a bit like putting all my eggs in one basket, which is a mistake I already made with Google before (context: I use Proton for email). I think Keepass is the next best option if dedicated to staying FOSS.

Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There's apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.
I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.
Nextcloud passwords is just a client for a KeePass vault.
I guess it's as good or bad as that can be, but I'm sure it's limited in functionality to KeePassxc with plugins.
Are you sure?
Because last time I tried that it was THE worst password manager that i ever tried in my life. I'd feel safer with the ie6 password manager

Oh really? Where's the keepass file stored? This would be very cool if so

Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
