When I dropped LastPass I found Bitwarden and liked them mainly because of the open source. I pay them for the software so that it can remain free and open. If that stopped, I would also stop paying them for it.

My renewal is coming up. I've been a premium customer for probably 7 years or so, I'm not renewing.

This wasn't a bug, this was a toe in the water to gauge the temperature.

Like it or not, this means they've chosen a path, and nothing is going to stop them from going down it. The only variable is the timetable.

well, it is up to you. me as premium user I am fine with their change and policy as long as Bitwarden does not mess up like Lastpass with data breaches and one active device policy.
