I knew a comment like this was coming, but unless you can show how microsoft can decrypt my kdbx I stand fully by my current setup.

I don’t think Microsoft can decrypt your DB file, neither do I think Bitwarden can. Encryption happens locally on their open source clients too.

But I’m not the one disparaging trusting an open source program to securely encrypt passwords, you are.

Could you please show how bitwarden can decrypt a vault that’s locally encrypted by a foss client?

They created the client. In theory, they can have some backdoors. And since you store your files on their side, risk is greater, imo

This is where your lack of understanding of the open source thing is readily apparent to everyone arguing with you. If it was backdoored, many people would be calling that out. In fact, this was one of the exact reasons at the heart of the original concerns leading to this story.

The fact that the source is available means that we can see exactly how the data is encrypted, allowing assurances to be made independently.

If nothing else, I trust Bitwarden MORE because of that and I’m happy to pay them for their services since it helps find further development.
