i feel this action is unnecessary and transparently forcing subscribers onto a paid service

Hello @kyscot and welcome to the Community!

The Wallet will be decommissioned in favor of a new and more advanced offering. It was a necessary step, because due to certain limitations, the Wallet could no longer offer room for improvement and had to be replaced by a better performing version, one that also offers more development possibilities in the future and meets the high standards we are known for. The Password Manager comes as a response to our user’s request for a more versatile solution available on the most important platforms. Please note that the Wallet and Bitdefender Password Manager are not the same product and the main differences are highlighted in this article.

There comes a time when some products and services reach their end of life and I think this is a natural step in their evolution. You can find more information on Bitdefender's End of Life Policy by clicking on the link below:

In my opinion, nobody is forcing anyone to do anything here. To make the transition seamless, you will also be able to claim an extended free trial of the new Bitdefender Password Manager through the Wallet section of your security solution. When the trial expires, you may purchase Bitdefender Password Manager and switch to this cross-platform service, if the product is suitable for your needs.
