Bitwarden introduced a non-free dependency to their clients. The Bitwarden CTO tried to frame this as a bug but his explanation does not really make it any less concerning.
Perhaps it is time for alternative Bitwarden-compatible clients. An open source client that’s not based on Electron would be nice. Or move to something else entirely? Are there any other client-server open source password managers?
Use Vaultwarden as self-hosted server that Bitwarden client can connect to.

Or don’t, because they are going to kill it eventually.
There are less convenient possibilities, like pass and keepass, even a markdown file pgp encrypted and git. Yes, less convenient, but guaranteed to work in 5,10,20+ years
And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?
