Just don’t count on the current Bitwarden client being compatible with Vaultwarden forever. Bitwarden’s new CEO is pushing to make more profit wherever possible, and recently rescinded the statement from the company’s website that the client would be free forever.

They’ll never be able to walk back the open source nature of the product, but they can choose to make their client incompatible with Vaultwarden and push for the centrally hosted option as the only option.

Not sure if anyone’s forked the Bitwarden client yet, but that’s how I’d start using Vaultwarden if the option exists.

Or, you know, skip the headache and just start using Keepass.

Agreed. “Failed to disclose” isn’t condemned as harshly as “Blatantly lied”, even if it should be. So obfuscating a project’s AI usage may be seen as less risky than being upfront about it.

A responsibly transparent project should advertise itself as AI-free if it truly is.
