Privacytools.io: 💬 Discussion | Bitwarden has Google Analytics enabled by default.

[AshTex]

Bitwarden is currently first choice in password management software.

Generally I think Bitwarden is a good piece of software, however they have Google Analytics baked in and turned on by default. You can turn it off [1] but some users may not realise it's there to begin with as it is not well advertised. I think the recommendation for Bitwarden on the site should have a clear disclaimer about disabling Google Analytics, or it should be withdrawn completely.

For privacy this is a no-go.
Remove that crap. KeePass ftw

@AshTex, as an update, I've removed analytics from all Bitwarden client applications for their next release:

@kspearrin Oh that's great news!

As an aside - thanks for making such a brilliant product. I'm a paying user :)
