Thank you for this post/link. I have been side eyeing Bitwarden since they started ensh*ttifying the desktop UX last year to make it more like everything else and take up too much space. It had been working perfectly well for browser autofill - super fast and staying out of the way. Now it is bloated white space, slow, standardized UX elements like any SaaS built by AI. Will check out Vaultwarden, Proton Pass, Keepass, I guess. But sadly - yet another tool that worked perfectly well that was ruined in contempt of its own users (LastPass, Authy, Google Reader, etc - the list goes on)
My first computer as well! I remember typing game code from a magazine and saving it to the cassette tape. My big Christmas present the next year was the giant expansion box with the floppy drive.
