The URL is punycode, look it up before you complain about it looking like a sketchy link.
No need to panic, but imo this article is a worthwhile read about the current status of Bitwarden.
Tldr;
After several years of self-hosting Bitwarden, I’ve come to the conclusion that the product has drifted further and further away from what I originally signed up for. The enterprise-first architecture that barely fits on a Raspberry Pi, the half-hearted attempt at a “lighter” backend, the SDK licensing situation, the slow pace at which features are being addressed, the avoidable UX paper-cuts that haven’t been fixed in years, and finally the string of security issues that shouldn’t have shipped in the first place, all paint a picture that I find hard to reconcile with the “open-source password manager for everyone” narrative.
I’m not suggesting that the alternatives are universally better or free of their own issues, because password managers are simply hard, and every player in this space has its fair share of skeletons. What I am suggesting is that you take a hard look at how much trust you are placing into a single piece of software for all of your credentials, and whether that bet is still the right one, which for me, it no longer was.
