Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source (www.phoronix.com)

Bitwarden introduced a non-free dependency to their clients. The Bitwarden CTO tried to frame this as a bug but his explanation does not really make it any less concerning.

Perhaps it is time for alternative Bitwarden-compatible clients. An open source client that's not based on Electron would be nice. Or move to something else entirely? Are there any other client-server open source password managers?

Sure, you're welcome to keep using the version you like, or to write or maintain one on your own. Or pay someone for their labor to do it for you.

But if you use something made out of someone's good will, don't rely on it for anything critical.

Money isn't necessarily a factor. I've paid for many services that have made business or operating changes to the point of needing to separate and then there's WinZip on the other side of things.
