I think this is a little hyperbolic. The product may drop features, increase prices, and squeeze its free tier users. Everything enshittifies. But the idea that password export might disappear or be degraded? Nah. You'll be able to jump ship any time you want.
- tremarley 5mo agoNever underestimate the lengths companies will go to, to enshittify their product to squeeze customers for money.
- eleventen 5mo agoName one major password manager that blocks or paywalls export.
- kpozin 5mo ago- Authy - Google Authenticator
- Someone1234 5mo agoNotably not password managers.
- MostlyStable 5mo agoGoogle Authenticator has an export-as-QR-code function that several other authenticator apps can parse. Is it the best/most convenient implementation? Obviously not, but you can absolutely export the codes.
- eleventen 5mo agoNot password managers of course, but thanks for reminding me that I should figure out how to ditch Authy. https://github.com/BrenoFariasdaSilva/Authy-iOS-MiTM https://github.com/BrenoFariasdaSilva/Authy-iOS-MiTM is going to be my project for the afternoon.
- Ringz 5mo agoEnte Auth is a good alter. Works perfect for me.

- MrDisposable 5mo agoI had to migrate from Authy because it doesn't work on Graphene OS. Migrated to Ente Auth and couldn't be happier.
- Itoldmyselfso 5mo agoComment you're replying to should've specified afterwards. Feature that were never there is very different than pay walling a such essential feature.
- gruez 5mo agoThe iOS "passwords" app didn't support exporting for a while, though they eventually added it.
- ptrl600 5mo agoUsually when this type of thing happens, all the major players decide to do it at the same time.

- AdmiralAsshat 5mo agoI mean, LastPass was a train wreck after their breach, but they didn't go as far as trying to stop me from exporting my vault when I switched to BW. The idea of BW doing a rug pull and suddenly removing the ability to export your vault I think would trigger a class-action lawsuit.
- e40 5mo agoI don't know why this is framed as "jumping ship" ... of course you can stop using it any time (and use your periodic export to go elsewhere). The real issue is potential data loss. Remember LastPass? Bought by someone and downhill it went, with multiple security incidents.
