Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto (www.fastcompany.com)

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

I knew trouble was brewing when they started adding the little corporate cute waving graphics and stuff to the UI. Glad I already migrated away

is proton pass good?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Yes. If you’re looking for a cloud solution, Proton Pass is quite good. I switched from Bitwarden about 6 months ago. Works great.

Self hosting is the new battefront for the individual's right to sovereign data

[–] MSids@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Proton pass has been fine for me. I don’t care that the one Proton guy said the one thing that time, I’m out of energy and it’s good enough.

why even have "Motto" if you are just going to renege on it.

[–] wraith@lemmy.demanufacture.org 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Experienced this with 1 Password. Experienced this with Enpass in another way. Really doesn't want to experience this with Bitwarden especially because of self-hosting. Let's hold thumbs but, apparently, it was fun while it lasted...

Where do I go if I want to move? Must have free tier and cloud sync (or when my devices are online they sync automatically). Suppose I'm gonna look into proton.

Anyone have any idea how this affects Vaultwarden, if at all?

"Equity" or "Capital" = the kiss of death

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

If things turn for the worse, hopefully Vaultwarden can fork the client as well

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Great I bought a paid subscription for it all this time for it to end up like this, I'm done with anything that is not self hosted now on, I'll just convert my old laptop into a home server
