they haven't backed down, you find the "Always free" claim in the very same webpage OP linked https://bitwarden.com/products/personal/#whats-the-differenc...

You must be getting a different version of that page than me. The free tier is there but there’s no “always free” verbiage. There is “start free” verbiage.

Edit: “always free” was hidden under a collapsed section

It's not super big but it is there in the comparison list.

Pricing: Always free

Ctrl+f for "Always"

I searched for the word “always”. It was not (and is not; I just checked again) there on the version of the page I was served.

Edit: Actually, it is there, hidden from search under the collapsed pricing section.

LOL.. you are correct. Funny thing though... the 'Always Free' text is linked to a "/start-free/" action\page. One could argue that they are hedging their bets.

Some other commenter says there are Archive.org cached versions with "Start free" instead of "Always free", so they must have backpedaled on this. Maybe they realized they turned the knob a bit too much towards "hot", increasing the temperature of the proverbial water too noticeably.

I’m not willing to check all the pages on archive.org but for sure a month ago they had a big “Basic Free” tile in the plan comparison. Now it’s just Premium and Family. They are definitely downplaying the ability to use it for free.

Seems like they want to downplay the mentally that you would never benefit from an upsell to the paid plans, even if the free plan itself stays always free
