Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can’t exist without “leeching” off of Bitwarden.

    I’ve cut down my subscriptions by a lot over the past few years, and I’ve gotten very close to what I consider a minimum. Whenever possible, I like to buy outright.

    However, surely you can understand how not every product can function as a one time purchase. For something like a password manager, they are providing an ongoing service. They are storing and serving your data.

    You can self host, sure, and I’m doing a lot of that lately. But not everyone has the capacity or desire to.

    All that said, this leadership shakeup is concerning and I think I’ll be migrating to Proton, since I already have a Duo plan.

      You don’t need to self-host at all! Daisy-chain your needed files via Syncthing and Syncthing-Fork. That’s literally what I do with KeePassXC and KeePassDX, keeping everything offline.
