No way to prevent this says only password manager where this regularly happens.

KeePass2 on Desktops and Keepass2Android on Android.
And sync the database via syncthing, have a keyfile on each of your devices ans password protect it all
I’ve been a faithful BitWarden subscriber since almost he beginning, but read up on them. They’ve Been making some moves lately that point in a bad direction. Proceed with caution.
Any alternatives? Might jump ship before they fully enshitify and hope their users are too entrenched too leave
Use a vaultwarden instance. It's bitwarden api compatible.
I think I may be too dumb for that....instance?..

You can use the bitwarden app/extension with this. It's basically a custom backend for bitwarden.
Bitwarden's the only "cloud-based" password manager I trust, since their entire stack is open-source.
For self-hosting, they recently released Bitwarden Lite, which is a lot simpler to host than their regular server. One Docker image and you can use SQLite for the database. Different design decisions compared to the regular server which is designed to scale up to handle businesses with tens or hundreds of thousands of employees.
There's also Vaultwarden, which is an unofficial third-party server implementation.
Bitwarden seems to be pretty clearly on the path of enshittification. They've been going towards closing off the self-hosted versions for a while, and moving their app out of repos that check licenses, with the likely aim of taking it closed source.
The usualy will surely follow.
Not sure how soon, but I definitely wouldn't newly go to them at this point.
VaultWarden will probably become what people who care about these things turn to for a cloud-based easy sync solution
What's the point over keepass with syncthing?
that would be a non-cloudbased non-easy solution. personally, that's what i'm doing, but i don't anticipate most computer users wanting to go through the effort when so many people are still running windows 10 rather than switching to linux
Funny thing I switched from bitwarden to keepassxc + synchthing just yesterday.
And my best friend got interested in doing that as well (mostly syncthing, so she can backup her photos and stop relying on the apple ecosystem). I also convinced her to switch to Linux a while ago.
There's a lot of regular non-techy users that yearn for things like that. They just need some support.
and ProtonPass. they're both great.
Proton's server is closed source so I don't trust it as much as Bitwarden.
understandable.
proton pass comes with a subscription to the drive, email, and everything else, so its very easy to use.
Dumped them when they completely mismanaged their first breach.
which was either 7 or 4 years ago now (can't remember)
😂 anyone still there deserves what they got
Edit: oh, okay it's not as bad as last time...
