Bitwarden enhances Premium and Families plans with more security features & raises prices
Bitwarden has upgraded its Premium and Families plans with a set of new features and updated pricing. Users now receive vault health alerts, enabling them to spot reused, exposed, or weak passwords and resolve these vulnerabilities from within the app. Alongside this, the new password coaching function flags at-risk passwords and walks users through strengthening them, delivering guidance at the point of use.
While security features headline the update, storage capacity is also expanded. Subscribers now benefit from five times more attachment storage, providing additional space for secure documents, backup codes, or sensitive files. The update doubles the number of allowable security keys for two-factor authentication, letting users register up to ten security keys, which can include hardware keys, native biometrics, or passkeys.
Looking ahead, Bitwarden will soon introduce a phishing blocker that will identify and block malicious websites before they can capture user credentials, broadening the platform’s protective reach. To reflect these enhancements, Bitwarden has adjusted its pricing: Premium is now $1.65 per month or $19.80 billed annually (previously $1/month or $10/year), while Families is $3.99 per month or $47.88 billed annually (previously $40 per year). All current subscribers will be notified 15 days ahead of their renewal when the price changes will take effect.

Comments
Back when I used to use Bitwarden I was somehow able to not have to pay because their free trial was broken or something. I stopped using it after it gave me an issue where I could not boot into Windows. I do not recall the details by now but it was likely to do with UEFI.
Honestly first time I'm kinda glad they raised prices. Bitwarden is such a good product and they give so much for free that I kinda need them to stay alive, to show an example of good open source.
I am disappointed. None of those added features are worth the extra cost. Though my opinion is summarized by the Chipp article: "While a 100% price jump may sting long-time loyalists, the new ~$20 annual cost remains nearly half the price of top-tier competitors like 1Password and Dashlane."
Look, I keep paying the $10 and I don't use even a single feature from the pro version I just want to support the development of this project. They give so much for free, you can host anything yourself. Also, I will keep paying 20$ just to supporting them so they keep doing what they are doing, even though that i am not going to use any of these features.
I don't want my comment to reflect any lack of gratitude, as Bitwarden is still my favorite password manager.
