Question: all users of the free plan just don't use 2FA or Yubikey? I am amazed how that would be good policy in 2022.

Nothing wrong with charging for a premium version, just curious how users handle things and why there seem to be so many users on the free plan. They all just don't know or care about 2FA?

You can use other free apps for 2FA, e.g. Authy. That might even be better for security because even if your password manager account is hacked/leaked, you would still have the 2FA setup in a separate app/platform. That being said, it’s of course more convenient to have passwords and 2FA tokens in the same app.
I just moved off Authy to Raivo. Authy traps you into their product... not something that you want.
