I just hope we won't get repeat of LastPass - some company buys it then just keeps on life support while raising prices.

Also "OSS" version is not really open source, it's just core and all the features you really want from password manager are behind the paid license anyway

Like what? All the features that password manager needs to have (and features that 99% of people need) OSS version have it. SSO, organization management etc. is not something that "password manager" needs to have.

Like TOTP, which is part of payed variant and I consider that an essential feature of a password manager in 2022. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about that business decision, just answering since you asked.

To be fair, TOTP should be a separate device to fulfil the criteria of actually being 2FA.

I totally agree, however there are some low-criticality services where 2FA is a burden and having it in your main password manager app is a tradeoff worth consideration. Definitely NOT your primary email address.

TOTP should be on a separate device.
