Can you trust them? Are you willing to overlook their website filled with third-party cookies, trackers, and keystroke logging? Even if it's innocent and only for bug tracking purposes, the existence of these features raises doubts among users.
In my personal experience, I have chosen to move away from Bitwarden due to these concerns. I'm sure a lot of users also left aswell.
Oh for F's stake lol is there anything that isn't tracking us these days? Lol I am using 1password currently but fuckit I might as well use paper and a pen
When it comes to password managers, you want to avoid any that sell themselves as "cheap". The only ones worth using are either expensive (1Password) or entirely free (Keypass).
The midwit valley of supplying a complex service for "cheap" always leads to poor incentives and muddied security.
Make sure that you use the official Keepass website, as there are fraudulent websites masquerading as Keepass that appear on the first page of Google search results.
About a month ago I moved from Bitwarden to keepassXC. I decided that I had had enough of cloud-based password managers. Even if I lose in usability (although not much), I will have full control over access to my password database.
As for this post about trackers, I don't think it's critical, although it is alarming. In general, the company's reputation is pretty good and I don't remember any high-profile precedents with security. It's up to you to decide whether to use their applications or not
There are tickets from since 2019 and their response is always "This is why we offer an F-Droid version. See https://mobileapp.bitwarden.com/fdroid/" bla bla
Password managers are a necessary evil, a relic of some bygone age. The dream is to be able to log in into any website with just a pubkey, and pay for services with a Zap. Has there been any progress on that front?
The app itself doesn't have any ad related tracking, looks like it's just bug tracking.

Good luck.

Thanks for the heads-up, one of my to-do this week is moving to Keepass 🫡

are you meant to give people an opportunity to verify themselves? 😳
Yes, saw that, madness.

LOL not if you host your own vaultwarden.
The mobile app, desktop app, browser extension, will still have the trackers.

There was even a "" BUG "" last year where they included a Microsoft Tracker on the F-droid version (that was suppost to be tracker-free).

At this point i no longer can trust them.
Doesn't help their case that they fired their Catholic VP of software engineering five months ago for political nonsense.
Fuck Bitwarden.
maaah fuck. i thought bitwarden were good guys.
Same. I guess "do your own research" is crucial in today's world, even for privacy-related services.
its the only thing that works everywhere that is open source. strongbox looks decent but its only mac/ios.
Proton Pass is nice. That's what i use currently. I used Bitwarden in the past.
i hate proton.
You can try out KeePass then, but the UI/UX looks like from Windows Vista era.
and no mobile apps
There are KeePass unofficial mobile apps tho.

I don't like tracking apps
