Thank you for the update! I would like to keep using it. I've been very happy with Bitwarden both as a password manager and a TOTP authenticator. I have even recommended it to my boss as an enterprise solution for us to use at work, and so far we are planning on replacing our current password database solution with Bitwarden.
Unfortunately, with "enshittification" being so common these days, it was very easy to believe they were also going to the dark side. I will remain cautiously optimistic after learning it was a packaging bug.
Here's a link to the post on X (yes, I hate X, too) in case anyone else is doubtful:

Yeah, I was worried about it too. I've become pretty cynical when it comes to everything becoming enshittified, but I'm hoping they stick to their word.
