Bitwarden Premium

The dominant theme across 160 user comments is a sharp divide over Bitwarden's recent price increase from ~$10 to ~$19.80/year. A significant faction describes their Premium subscription as a 'pseudo donation' to support an open-source project, not a value-for-money purchase — and many now feel betrayed by what they perceive as 'enshittification' driven by VC funding. Several high-upvote users report migrating to self-hosted Vaultwarden, describing the process as 'trivial' (10–15 minutes). Others defend the new price as 'still peanuts' compared to LastPass and competitors. A recurring complaint is feature bundling: users explicitly state they only want password + TOTP + Passkey management + sharing, and resent paying for email masking, secure sending, and large file attachments they never requested. One user proposes Bitwarden should unbundle file storage as a separate add-on rather than raising prices across the board. Trust concerns extend beyond price: multiple users note the server side is not fully open source (only the client is), and one explicitly calls the CEO 'questionable.' On the positive side, users praise the EU server migration process (described as automated and easy), cross-platform support, and the ability to export vaults easily — which reduces lock-in anxiety. A few users recommend splitting passwords and TOTP across two separate apps for security. Off-topic but notable: several threads discuss privacy-focused gift recommendations (Mullvad vouchers, Reflectacles, EFF merch), indicating the user base skews heavily privacy-conscious and technically literate.
