Well this ain't good. I don't really feel like switching apps.

That's how they get you. Jump ship now

Anyone looking at this...what alternatives are out there?

KeePassxc with syncthing

Nextcloud with their password solutions

A notebook

Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model."

I'm not going to jump ship just yet, though I may get around to updating my backup.

There are plenty of alternatives, so feel free to shop around. But don't jump the gun just because of a random Phoronix article with an update that says basically the opposite of what the article claims. Wait some time to see if there are actual changes coming.

This is disheartening.

so what's the best pw manager?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Keepass? No cross device support, you need to manage that yourself through something like Google Drive...

What do you mean "no cross device support"? KeePassXC supports Win, Mac, Linux and there are iOS and Android apps available...

As for the lack of cloud and requirement to provide your own synchronization, for some (like me) that's a feature, not a limitation :)
