This is not a good reason, but it’s time consuming switching to another password vault. shields up
I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden, years ago now, and the whole process took roughly 5 minutes. I'm not sure if something has changed since then, or if it's more complicated to switch to something other than Bitwarden, but my experience is that it at least can be simple.
There were issues exporting passwords from LastPass when I tried moving after the first security breach. It would only create a CSV with a few rows and it was an issue for many at the time. I couldn’t help be cynical about the timing.
You can import your password database from lastpass to bitwarden.
Does it have a browser extension, cloud syncing, and family sharing?
Bitwarden does yes
KeepassXC and sharing the databases between devices with any sync tool is the best bet for me. Used it since I started using password managers and I will never understand using any online service for this.
Bitwarden FTW
Just use Bitwarden, Keepass, or whatever your choice. I'm surprised people still trust Last Pass.
Bitwarden, Keepass
Do you mind if I pass your number on to my mother and father in law for tech support in setting it up on their Windows laptops and iPhones? I would do it, but I already have a full time job.
If they have a windows laptop they probably also have an android phone. In that case it would make the most sense to have them use the chrome/google password manager.
advising people to use google products? is that the new edgelord thing?
Bitwarden is not so bad. Keepass, no way.
Yeah, local only will kill ease of assistance.
Went to 1password shortly after the first (maybe) debacle and have been extremely pleased since. I know it's a similar risk with a hosted database but the convenience is hard to beat
same just with bitwarden. Honestly i think anything might be better than LastPass.
Ditched Lastpass years ago and switched to bitwarden. Much, much better experience.
