Zoho Vault adds desktop apps and chases price-hike refugees from Bitwarden and 1Password

Current state
Zoho Vault shipped a long-overdue Windows and Mac desktop client in April, layered accessibility controls onto the web app, and explicitly positioned itself as the switch target for users hit by Bitwarden and 1Password price increases. Recent posture is a steady mix of product expansion and competitive-positioning content.
Where it's heading
The product is broadening client surface (desktop app), inclusivity (accessibility controls), and authentication credibility (FIDO/passkey participation, GigaOm Leader placement). The editorial is consistently framed against the price-tier debate among the consumer-facing password managers, suggesting Zoho wants the SMB and enterprise refugees of that segment.
Prediction
Expect passkey-first authentication flows or deeper MFA integration to land next given the FIDO posture, and more head-to-head Bitwarden/1Password comparison content while the price news still has heat.
