Get your passwords out of BitWarden while you still can

I was a long-time Bitwarden user, until a year or so ago when I started migrating my passwords first to Firefox/LibreWolf, and recently from there to a KeePass database I can transfer and use with whatever password manager application is compatible with KeePass' file format.

My Mavica battery is apparently drained, and I forgot to bring in the charger for it. Period-correct photos have to wait. :/

Today, I installed 98SE and the Softpaqs. ("98SE and the Softpaqs" is now my Rock-n-Roll tribute band name.)

I also turned on and started updating a MeLE PCG02, a Windows 11 IOT-like fully contained desktop PC. It started downloading and installing KB5089549.

Windows 11 is still installing the one single update.

I got a Compaq Deskpro ENS/P600 (the EN SFF [for "Slim Form Factor"] series) without a hard drive and neglected in a very dusty business environment.

I gambled on a small SSD and a SATA to desktop IDE adapter, cleaned everything inside and out, and installed the SSD. The Windows 98SE install CD recognized it.

I had to spend an entire evening locating the relevant Softpaq files (only four out of a few dozen thousand with cryptic names).
