Hello everyone!
Starting in the next release, the Bitwarden apps published to the various stores will be the commercially licensed builds. No action is needed, and the apps will work exactly as they do today.
Bitwarden remains committed to open source security and transparency The GPLv3 OSS licensed version continues to be updated and published on GitHub All current features are available in both versions License details are on GitHub Bitwarden remains committed to a robust, free forever plan for everyoneIf you have any questions, please ask them in this thread. Thanks all!
EDIT:
Bitwarden is not going closed-source You can still fork Bitwarden No change to self-hosting, the licensing change affects those who are repackaging and reselling Bitwarden The free plan is here to stay permanently
yeah, until the client logs you out randomly. it has an increased chance when the server behaves funky.
I’ve been self-hosting vaultwarden for a year and this has literally never happened to me.
it happens to me once or twice a year, and to people for whom I have installed bitwarden too. official clients, bitwarden.com server.
Maybe that’s a bitwarden issue, I guess. One more point for selfhosting. Also, even if that were to happen to you, you most likely have it installed in more than one device. The chances of all sessions logging out at the same time would be extremely low.
not all devices, but multiple of them did log out roughly the same time. so, don’t rely on storing the 2FA authenticator app’s password in it.
