Not technical, but the person behind that project now works for Bitwarden so there's some risk of a rugpull. Of course it's OSS but you'll need to trust a fork or maintain it yourself if said rugpull happens.

The maintainer has said that they've been given permission to maintain it in their free time. All it takes is a bad quarter and the CEO decides they don't want to be supporting a competitor and that goes away. It's possible that a community continuation could happen but I wouldn't rely on something so uncertain for something as important as credentials.

Kind of makes a lot of sense that they wound up working there too.

The expansion of "rugpull" to encompass "a company or open source developer changing the roadmap or level of investment in something they develop" is fascinating.
