I've love to switch away from LastPass. I switched to LastPass Families when it came out due to their "digital contingency plan" so family members (or the trusted family attorney) can get access to passwords rather conveniently if I or another family member passes away. At the time, I didn't see that other offerings made this as easy. Any other good options out there for this use case?
Classic LastPass. Shoddiest pw manager out there with history of editing wiki pages to hide their sad track record.
I quit LastPass when they were acquired by LogmeIn and doubled their prices to $24 a year, and their constant issues with autofill (atleast for websites in my country). I switched to Bitwarden and haven't faced an issue since.
This story reminded me that I hadn't deleted my LastPass account yet, and when I did I got a buggy error message, something to the effect of "Error: .A" after the double-confirm. Looks like the deletion went through, though... just an error in the process, which is uninspiring.

It's not exactly the same as LastPass' "contingency plan" feature (since you're simply sharing some credentials all the time), but it works well enough for me.
Was prepared to change all my darn credentials when clicking on that. For those clicking the comments first, the byline is: "LastPass has released a fix last week. Vulnerability details are now public. Users advised to update."
Your comment implies that you're no longer changing your credentials?
Switched to BitWarden a few months ago from years of using LastPass. Zero regrets... it is in every way better for my use case. Switching wasn't hard either. Even gave BW my money, it is worth supporting them.
I'm avoiding the browser extensions, they seem to be a security nightmare. KeePass and similar are a better way to go, if slightly more labor intensive.
I've been just using Chrome's built-in password storage feature, though I see a lot of people are still using extensions. Any reason to prefer an extension or third party over just using the built-in Chrome feature?
Doesn't tie me to one browser or their security model.

This of course assumes you are comfortable knowing that they could access your accounts while you're still alive if they wanted to, and trusting that they won't.

The other feature I like in dedicated password managers is that they tend to have a lot more options about what kind of password/passphrase you can generate. Some other features that i regularly use is storing non password content like software licenses, sharing certain passwords with my spouse, etc.
