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.

Update: After publication, an employee on the Bitwarden subreddit said that “Always free” had been restored on its pricing page, calling it an “oversight” by the marketing team. The product page for Bitwarden’s personal password manager remains unchanged.

They got community checked and backtracked hard... I have always endorsed bitwarden but that is becoming worrisome. :(

Getting hard to endorse anyone you don't personally know at this point.

Yeah, you know those marketing team people. They totally went out of their way to make more work for themselves to change it with I'm sure zero instructions from higher up to do so.
