I definitely see your point, but let's look at what Bitwarden does:

1. Back up my passwords on their server for a fee. Well, that's (alas) hackable, so if someone gets their password they will have everyone's password file. 2. Except each one is encrypted with that user's password, and in my case it's really long. So they'd then have to break each individual one. 3. Except signing in with my password on a new device requires my YubiKey as well, or one of my lost-my-YubiKey tokens, which also only I possess.

So I'm not as worried as I probably should be :-)



A rogue update to bitwarden gets uploaded by an attacker and the entire edifice collapses at once.

Security is always as weak as the weakest link.
