alt Hacker NewsI don't care about raising prices, I'm worried about the new CEO having a PE mindset. That means Bitwarden will now focus on extracting value while the product stagnates and degrades in quality. Time to jump ship before their security and quality goes down the drain.

I am a paid subscriber. I am kind of ok with the price increase.
The "coincident" with change of CEO and remove of "always free" tag worries me though.
I jumped to Bitwarden because of 1P's new pricing doing exactly that.
Circle of live, I guess.
I'm getting really tired of the enshittification cycle. Learning about android verification and captcha changes recently has been another big frustration point. I moved to android as a more open alternative to apple just a few years ago, and to bitwarden from lastpass around the same time. I would like to just have these infrastructural services work well and quietly without thinking about them for many years. Do I really have to put up with this happening faster and faster for the rest of capitalism? (I think so)
PE? Private Equity is the slippery slope to Public Enshitification.
Not my project but Vaultwarden is an open source (in Rust) alternative backend for Bitwarden. I believe its been around a while, and is still maintained.
