Great, I've just started to use it last week 🤡
How many times do I need to pack up and move to the next “best option”
Just go to Keepass and its over
Sadly as many times as needed, complacency is how these companies get "loyal customers" who are willing to put up with bs
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.
Notepad.exe
Its open source now right?
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.
Keepassxc? Vaultwarden?
Isn't Vaultwarden used with non-free Bitwarden clients?
This need not be the case, though! There's an open source client on Android called Keyguard. I don't think the desktop app was at all useful anyway. You can just log into your Vaultwarden through any browser. The desktop app is pointless.
The clients are free.
They now require a non-free Bitwarden SDK component. That's what this whole conversation is about.
Could you ELI5 please?
Pass.
Keepass vault synced over syncthing.
I keep not regretting it.
I was thinking the same. But, it is safe to share the password database like this?
This is incredible 
Right next to each other lol
Syncthing fork seems to still be under active development
Was going to be my solution as well, bjt Syncthing-Android just got discontinued.
F-Droid syncthing-fork is still actively developed and had a patch in the last few weeks.
So hopefully this isn't the end.
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.
They're basically trying to get rid of vaultwarden and other open source forks. I expect they'll get a cease and desist and be removed from github at some point in the not too distant future if they don't make some changes. I have a vaultwarden instance and use the bit warden clients. Guess I'll need to look for alternatives in case Bitwarden decides to get aggressive.
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?
Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
