LastPass costs $36 per year. Operating on the principle of being the customer and not the product, that seems very reasonable for a secure way to store and share the keys to my digital life. That said, it does make it a little bit harder for me to onboard my friends and family when they ask. One of the selling points has always been "Yes, you can use it on your phone and laptop" and "no, it doesn't cost anything".
I very happily pay $10/year for Bitwarden. It is in my opinion superior to Lastpass, and I don't have the doubts of the corporate governance.
A combination of a shell script, git, and pgp.
It's not the pinnacle of convenience, but it works, and you don't have to deal with stuff like this :)
Just switched to Bitwarden. Took me ~15 minutes to get the browser extension + app installed and to complete the migration using the export/import features.
I've performed the switch as well, however, a couple of things to consider about Bitwarden: - field detection is much poorer in Bitwarden (ie. it will fill both signup and login fields in some websites... including HN) - Bitwarden timeout doesn't survive browser restarts (at least, this was the last time I've tried it), making it difficult to use for people with a complex password and frequent browser closing/opening
How does it do with sites that insist on using a 'password' type field for both username and password? This is my biggest pet peeve on the internet today!

Don't use a service, use (Free) software and handle your personal data yourself. https://keepassxc.org/ is one option to do so.
Bitwarden is a F/OSS software that you can install its server on premise [1]. I hope it to be lighter, though (its minimal memory requirement is quite large). [1] https://bitwarden.com/help/article/install-on-premise/
I've been on 1Password since 2007. Unfortunately, software quality seems to have taken a nosedive since version 7 came out (disregarding the subscription issue). Random beachballs and slowdowns, annoying 2FA and duplicate password warnings, and decoupling of stored files from login entries. I have been considering a replacement but haven't found anything up to the ease of use and Mac/iOS integration of 1Password yet.
At least sync still works flawlessly?

Price aside, last I checked LastPass was terrible software compared to 1Password. I had all kinds of syncing problems with the browser extension. And LastPass had a huge breach in the past, which its competitors didn’t. I don’t trust that it’s quality software - especially because it doesn’t “look and feel” like quality software. Plus, they’re owned by LogMeIn, which is basically a crappy software conglomerate that i…
