Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto (www.fastcompany.com)

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

Luckily BW is open source, and VaultWarden exists. If they enshitify, all it takes is a fork of the browser extensions and apps with a rebrand.

This right here is the only answer

Companies can try to steal the app but they can only steal the name

Exactly, IMO Vaultwarden should just fork the clients and extensions and officially take the lead. Bitwarden can just go the way of OpenOffice for all I care.

Yeah, this here is exactly the reason why anytime I have to migrate from any piece of software I'm migrating to something open source and standards compliant.

How would network hosting work, though? Like... do I need to pull my passwords down now?

You can export from any of the BW clients. Then import into sepf-hosted BW or VW.
