It doesn’t have to be free, but it can’t be set up so they can take it away from me. I self-host Vaultwarden to get that right now. Even if they break client compatibility, I still have the web vault with access to my passwords.

As soon as a company positions themselves to hold your data hostage, assume they will. I have no problem paying, but I’m not going to pay anyone trying to trap me. That’s the goal of most of these tech companies now.

My opinion and stubbornness doesn’t matter though. Identity control is getting lobbied into government legislation everywhere. Everyone’s going to pay no matter what, probably twice; once directly, once via taxes.
