Bitwarden doesn’t have access to your data. This isn’t an issue. This is just jingoism because the best way to fight an absurd nationalist asshole is more nationalism
If someone is going through that trouble the same is true of your communication. Someone could record comms from you to bitwarden, watch as the app does it’s database sync, and record it for later decryption. But the same is true of your KeePass unless you only sync by hand on a private network.
agreed, if I didn’t trust the encryption, I would not use it. I am fine with bitwarden hosting my encrypted passwords, the store is accessible locally on each device, and I can self host with vaultwarden if bitwarden pull the free service. The features in bitwarden are good and sufficient, less awkward than alternatives I have tried.
I know that Bitwarden is headquartered in California, but they do have Bitwarden.eu, which I would think is operating inside the EU?
Even better, self-host Vaultwarden !
A lot more to it :)

As someone posted above, someone obtaining access to your encrypted data might lead to an issue in the future:
