Usually, once a year I change my major passwords, bank, credit card,
ebay, Paypal, Amazon and such. I have a folder thingy that I store
those in to make sure I don't forget to change something important.
Anyway, when I do that and use the new passwords successfully, I make a
backup copy and on my rig, I can encrypt it with a right click. I then
shred the original. While I think Bitwarden will be around and they
will work fine, one never knows.
I'm thinking of making a one time donation to Bitwarden. Just to help
them out. I can't do much but I can do that. I used Lastpass until
they switched too. I actually imported my passwords from one to the
other. It seems to work the same way to me.
I still use Lastpass in Seamonkey. Bitwarden doesn't have a plugin for
Seamonkey that I've found. Lastpass hasn't been updated in ages
either. Once Firefox did their major changes a few years ago, a lot of
old plugins are no longer maintained. Seamonkey needs to catch up or it
is going to die.
