Canceled my sub and moved to proton as soon as I found out about this. It's the sequel to 1pw's enshitification and I won't hang around for it.
I pay for Proton but still hesitate to move passwords there because I could easily see Proton developing a penchant for sniffing their own farts.
I JUST fucking moved from 1PW to BW and super irritated at the prospect of moving again so soon. Sellouts.
My biggest worry comes from the way Proton handles Standardnotes. To use that, you have to pay for a yearly subscription to even host your own server.
In the past, I have compared Bitwarden's model - favorably - against Standardnotes. It seems much fairer to charge users for convenience of a note/password storing service, and not the simple existence of an open-source app.
I did the same as you. I think I'm only 3 months into my bw sub.
My experience so far has been that it's painless to export import my data, so although I won't be thrilled if proton takes a cue from them and screws us, another move won't kill me.
A lot of my friction moving from 1PW to BW was due to TOTP (2fa codes) being stored inside 1PW.
So now that I have those codes in a different service than my password manager, I hope it's a less painful process as you describe.
