Paying Bitwarden user here. This doesn't worry me that much. In the event that incentives get skewed (which isn't certain), I guess I could just stop updating the app before that happens, or fork the last good version? I'm interested in your alternative. I hadn't heard of it, went on your site and it looked decent, I think if I had seen this before going with Bitwarden I'd have seriously considered it, BUT now that I'm a keen BW user, it doesn't seem as if there is enough for me to switch. Are you also definitely never going to take VC money? Or an acquisition, say, by Bitwarden? Why should I trust you (and a product I've only just learned about)? |

This is easily said, but remember you're talking about a security-sensitive application. Do you really trust yourself to keep your fork secure? I know it doesn't look like it on the surface, but password managers have become wickedly complex, especially if you require things such as shared vaults, audit logs, a zero-knowledge architecture etc. The reality is maintaining your own fork won't be feasible for the vast majority of users, even those with a technical background.

The simple answer is that you shouldn't. You should ALWAYS be sceptical, and look for possible indicators of a company heading down the path to the dark side. Like taking a 9-figure sum of VC money for example ;)
