Users are sharing their experiences and concerns about the breach. One user had a particularly bad experience:
I had a really bad experience with the bitwarden cli. I believe it was `bw list` that I ran, assuming it would list the names of all my passwords, but too my surprise, it listed everything, including passwords and current totp codes.
Another user noted that the issue was not just with the CLI, but also with the potential impact on other services:
Never used the CLI, but I do use their browser plugin. Would be quite a mess if that got compromised. What can I do to prevent it? Run old –tried and tested– versions?
Some users are switching to alternative password managers, like KeePass, to avoid similar security risks:
KeePass users continue to live the stress free live. I’ve managed to avoid several security breaches in last 5 years alone by using KeePass locally on my own infra.
