For me keepassxc is a dramatic improvement over a centralised service.

Hanno iniziato da un po' di tempo a fornire troppi servizi, dovrebbero focalizzarsi di più a sistemare quelli che hanno. La webmail di Protonmail è un abominio: perdita di selezione multipla aprendo un'email, email che ricompaiono subito dopo averle cancellate, ricerca...stendiamo un velo pietoso!
Just give me a Linux client for proton drive please. I'm tired of manually uploading/downloading files 😐

Yeeeeees. If you're orienting your company as the privacy-alternative it'd be great to emphasize support for the main privacy-oriented OS. I get that developers don't grow on trees, but this seems like a pretty crucial feature that should be prioritized.
I mean, I recently switched to Proton knowing what I was getting into, but I'd really like to see this happen soon.

Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.
I was just about to write this... Proton is cool, but I only use mail from them. All my other services are independent from each other, and soon I will be self hosting most of them.
I'm switching from privatevpn to protonvpn just for the port forwarding with wireguard within a terminal, no stupid GUI app. Quite pleased with the service, they do VPN well.
Same, staying with bitwarden for now
Bitwarden also has better features for now like more solid URL matching (handy if you have a bunch of services on subdomains of the same domain name).

How does it compare to vaultwarden/bitwarden?
When it launched the apps were more modern than bitwarden. If bitwarden hasn't improved since, then it's still the same
Bitwarden’s interface hasn’t changed a bit and it’s a pity
a new client is on the way btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rVQOESKbbA
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

What do you feel it's missing? It's a tad slower than I'd like but otherwise works quite well.
There is nothing wrong with it. Why people always want things to be changing? What really important feature are you missing?
A few for me:
- Automatically updating entries with app or URL information if they didn’t match and you had to manually search for them. You have to copy the URL, leave the browser, open the app, search for the entry again, and manually add the URL in the current version.
- Better defaults in the app like which group you log in to or which collection new entries are added to. Keeping all your entries added to a shared collection is a constant chore right now.
- Better keyboard functionality. It’s basically impossible to navigate with a keyboard on PC right now. Keepass has a global auto type hotkey which made it so you hardly even had to open the app.
And what better person to answer that question than Mr. Bitwarden himself:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1b32bbz/going_native_the_future_of_the_bitwarden_mobile/
Looks like everything is essentially in the same spot UI wise, but with a native application that hopefully gets moving a lot faster.
I've noticed that currently on Bitwarden, for auto fill it takes 6-7 seconds just to get authenticated with fingerprint and fill in the username and password field. That should hopefully be down to like 2 or 3 seconds.
Weren't they planning to change it from Microsoft's Android UI, it's just taking a while, as they have to rebuilt it from scratch? I thought I saw something about that.
Correct, they announced it two months ago: https://www.androidpolice.com/bitwarden-app-about-prettier/
Whats wrong with it?
Bitwarden is excellent but i have a few nitpicks on Android.
I wish I could change the "Username" field to "Email address" because it kind of annoys me having email addresses under usernames. I'd also like to add things to favourites or folders without having to go into edit mode on every entry individually. Same with adding notes. The app has trouble following the system theme and doesn't always autofill reliably for me, meaning I sometimes have to go into the app and copy/paste my passwords manually.
Other than that, the UI is just a bit ugly compared to some other password managers,
