Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto (www.fastcompany.com)

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

I don't have the patience to switch to alternatives until they make a change that actually affects the usability of the tool.

This is absolutely a red flag though.

It takes a full 3 minutes to try an alternative. Export, install new one, import. Install extensions where you need them and sync.

Just FYI, you can export your Bitwarden database to plain text and import that with KeePassXC
