Quiet changes at Bitwarden:

- Longtime CEO stepped back in Feb. w/ no announcement by the company.
- New CEO's LinkedIn touts experience in mergers, acquisitions, and working w/ private equity.
- Career page replaces "Inclusion" with "Innovation" and "Transparency" with "Trust" as tentpole company values.
- Plan description page drops the phrase "Always free"
- Premium plan price doubled in Feb, but Bitwarden is only notifying customers 15 days ahead of their next renewal.
