This is why despite me self hosting some things I don't rely on vaultwarden. I'm a flawed person and my family has no idea about anything. I don't need to stretch my imagination very far to think of a handful of reasons why it would fail my situation. I'll gladly pay for a password manager to not have to deal with that.
Same! I self host a number of things, but I just didn't trust myself with something as important as this. I had been paying for bitwarden even though the free plan was sufficient, just to show support. But obviously not if they go this route. I will also gladly pay for a password manager to not have to deal with that.
That's where I was for years until I got that surprise $80CAD credit card charge a few weeks ago. Now I have 11 months to either go with someone else or figure out a self-hosted solution I can trust. It will need several layers of backups the family can actually access in an emergency.
