Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software (github.com)

Pull request #10974 introduces the @bitwarden/sdk-internal dependency which is needed to build the desktop client. The dependency contains a licence statement which contains the following clause:

You may not use this SDK to develop applications for use with software other than Bitwarden (including non-compatible implementations of Bitwarden) or to develop another SDK.

This violates freedom 0.

It is not possible to build desktop-v2024.10.0 (or, likely, current master) without removing this dependency.

No Android app though?

Ty, exploring alternative tools. I really don't like last pass due to their lax data security and 1 Password for the same reason.

Bitwarden still earns my $10/year.

No excuse to not look into it now. Hopefully it uses Android autofill.

It does support autofill

Testing it then will see if it passes the wife test for ease of use.
