    How is Bitwarden having all the actually needed things for free, still developing, be most open and community-friendly of cloud-synced managers, allow self-hosting everything for free and still cost just 10$/year for managed premium???

    I bought premium just for the 2FA codes support and recently they announces btw it is free now. Like, buying premium for me now would be like donating, they give me anything I want anyway.

      Their service is probably set up so the per-user overhead is low.
      Think about it- what does your ‘using it’ actually consume? a few hundred KB of disk space and a little bandwidth?

      I agree it’s a great value though. Signed up a few weeks ago and haven’t looked back.

      I’d imagine their business and enterprise service is what currently or will pay the bills for them. Either way, I love their approach and the fact that it’s open source.
