Still a compelling value. I keep eyeing it to see if I should switch from 1Password, but I also worry about the complexity of transitioning the whole family over.

Enshittification arrives as it always does.

Can you please explain how paying less than $100 a month is enshittification?

Like private equity, the price will need to keep going up. Bitwarden has financial targets to hit, they took $100M in VC money in 2022. LastPass is currently owned by PE as well (Francisco Partners and Elliott Management). As an investor, in this context, you're buying the lock in and inertia for customers who might take their time moving to other user secret and idp systems (because it takes time and effort to effectively move with minimal enterprise disruption).

Once these comments burn in after ~2 hours, we can of course revisit the thread in the future to see if this turns out to be an accurate prediction. I admit, I could be wrong, predicting the future is hard, but history is fairly clear how this turns out (to the point that "enshittification" was coined).

Bogus title.

True: Bitwarden launches enhanced premium plan: Complete online security for everyone

Title is misinformation, price went from around 85 cents a month to 1.65 a month which is around $20 a year, and I'm pretty sure the price for individual premium has been the same since 2016 or thereabouts.

A $200 increase would be $30 (which it isn't).
