Such a pity they are starting to try to move to proprietary model. I have been using them for years. I thought they were different than other "open-source" companies (e.g. Redis).

What are the alternatives for an open-source cross-platform password manager? Anybody has used Vaultwarden already?

We have been working on a open-source, cross-platform alternative called SOS[1]. The source code is on github[2] and includes a self-hostable server for syncing. It is well documented[3] for those that want go build on top of it.

Would love your feedback if you can take it for a spin!

No, they are not. They have a separate product which is closed source and there was a accidental mixup between the dependencies of the two. They fixed it quick. As I posted repeatedly in this issue: we need to be much much more lenient and supportive of one of the very few companies which still try. If this is the support they get why would anyone else even bother?

This was not an accidental mixup. Have you actually read the previous issue threads? Their stance was that "there are no plans to adjust the SDK license" before the backlash.

I've been using KeePass (mostly through third-party clients) for years and never saw a reason to switch to anything else.

It doesn't sync between devices by default, but I see that as an advantage, you can use a cloud provider like Dropbox, your own server, FTP, Syncthing, whatever you're comfortable with.
