#bitwarden

It feels like my account got hacked. I shall be taking the necessary steps of precaution. And here I was, thinking 🤔 that the e-mail 📧 message was just a part of an annoying routine. 🙄

Please use free and open source password 🔑 managers like Bitwarden (with EU servers, not US ones, and the choice is clearly given — no thank you, US Cloud Act, EU's GDPR is much more protective), or better still, Proton Pass from Switzerland 🇨🇭 created by (ex?) CERN employees. The one advantage that Bitwarden has is in its easy to use complicated password 🔑 generator.

No longer do I use either Apple's or Google's password managers. It's an entrapment.
