and I wouldn't trust a business that is not just working on password managers.

Because..? They're a privacy tool oriented company, no?

Because they aren't focused on just one single service. Bitwarden is a single business only focusing on their password manager, whereas proton has a suite of tools. Passwords need to be stored absolutely in a robust and safe way. I don't trust proton with anything at all, and the proton pass is no exception. The client might be open source, but the backend is not. It's also not as mature as bitwarden.

These are valid points. There are many password managers, most of which it wouldn't take much to poke holes in, especially if open source is a main criteria.

What are some that you would consider with Bitwarden now being off the table?
