Bitwarden introduced a non-free dependency to their clients. The Bitwarden CTO tried to frame this as a bug but his explanation does not really make it any less concerning.
Perhaps it is time for alternative Bitwarden-compatible clients. An open source client that’s not based on Electron would be nice. Or move to something else entirely? Are there any other client-server open source password managers?
For what it’s worth, I only ever had sync issues when sharing a database between devices with transient connectivity. Once I added an always-on instance of Syncthing into the mix, collisions were a thing of the past.
We’ve been using KeePass trouble-free for many years now, sharing a single database across more than 6 devices, with frequent use and modification.
Noooo! Ugh, that’s so disheartening to hear but I can’t fault imsodin for his reasons. I sincerely hope that someone steps up to the plate, even if only for the F-Droid releases.
For anyone else interested, the discussion is taking place here:

Ah shit, I hadn’t heard that. Another one bites the dust because of Google’s Play Store insanity. Maybe SyncThing-Fork will continue? 🤞

While the official syncthing-android is no longer being updated, syncthing-fork is still going strong
