In Norway, the trolley coined gained popularity as society went mostly cashless, yet the trolleys demanded their token. An earlier factor was that it was annoying to make sure you always had a coin of the correct denomination (physical size). Trolley coins can be part of your keychain, or won't be accidentally used to buy a newspaper before going to the grocery store.

Most people still return the trolley and slide it in, like civilized humans should

    A cursory search lead to this thread from 2024 https://community.bitwarden.com/t/concerns-over-bitwarden-moving-away-from-open-source-what-does-our-future-hold/74800

    where an employee stated

    I’ll note that policy wise nothing changed. The referenced issue is a packaging bug, but the goal still is the dual licensing model, with the core being open source, and some (mostly enterprise) features being source-available.

    Both the client and server are mostly open source. Some server features are paywalled. The alternative Vaultwarden server is fully open source, and much lighter on system resources.

    Have there been any recent licensing shenanigans with BitWarden?

    A key for each service for each device is too impractical in real life.

    Getting a new device would mean logging in to hundreds of services to link up the new device. Or somehow keep track of which services have keys with which devices. And signing up to a new service would mean having to remember to generate keys for a a handfull of devices, some of which might not be available at the time (like a desktop computer at home when you are out). Or you risk getting logged out if you loose the one device that had a key for that particular service.

    I agree passkeys can make sense with something like BitWarden or KeyPassX. Something that is FOSS, and is OS and device agnostic, and let's you sync keys across devices. And should have independent backups too. Sync is not backup.

    I use BitWarden too. OS , device and browser agnostic is a win

    But I imagine the vast amount of people will use whatever their platform is pushing, so Apple Google or Microsoft. And in 5 years time "3rd party passkeys" are not "secure enough" and blocked by the OS. (Ok that's a bit tinfoil hat, but Google's recent Android app developer verification scheme is fresh in mind)

    The biggest disadvantage:

    Disadvantages of Passkeys

    Ecosystem Lock-In – Passkey pairs are synced through each vendor’s respective clouds via end-to-end encryption to facilitate seamless access multiple devices.

    Probably youtube is just a bad example in this case. But javascript heavy pages were regular SaveAs doesn't really work definitely exist, and the value is in preserving those websites information and formatting
