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.
How does it compare with 1Password?

The title is slightly off. The limit is to a single device type, not device. If you only use LastPass on 2 devices of the same type (on your desktop and your laptop or if you only use it on your Mobile and your Tablet) you will be fine to stay on Free, However if you use it on your Desktop and your Mobile (like me) you will need to swap password managers or pay up for the service. Before LogMeIn brought them the serv…
I don't know why the title was neutered, it even says in the 3rd sentence: > Starting March 16, 2021, LastPass Free will only include access on unlimited devices of one type.
MacOS / IOS users have all this for free seamlessly :)
I used Keychain for a long time. A dedicated password manager is a vast improvement.
Oof, this is a rough one! Id rather have a device number limit than a device type limit. Main Takeaway: "We’re making changes to how Free users access LastPass across device types. LastPass offers access across two device types – computers (including all browsers running on desktops and laptops) or mobile devices (including mobile phones, smart watches, and tablets). Starting March 16th, 2021, LastPass Free will only…
Lastpass reasons for doing this are perfectly clear. They want people to use and trust their platform, and there's no better way for doing that than allowing users to use the full version of their product. At the same time, they want revenue, and targeting the people that use Lastpass as an integral part of their workflow (e.g. myself) is a valid strategy.
I've used Lastpass for years. I was a premium user, but at some point the free tier started covering my use case, so I stopped paying. Now I'm probably back at the point where I'll start paying again. I could definitely live without mobile access, but it's a convenient thing to have and I can easily afford it. Maybe I'll look for an alternative too, but it has to be just as convenient.

I did the same switch too a while back, Bitwarden has been really solid. Interesting thing: I just now remembered to delete my LastPass account, but the delete account flow breaks totally. Just end up in a modal without any content in it, both Firefox and Chrome. I'm wondering if they are even deliberately blocking deleting accounts for damage mitigation?

Huh, you reminded me that I used LastPass for a while and still had that account. I went and deleted any passwords still in there, and then had to do a web search and found https://lastpass.com/delete_account.php which worked for me. I just had to confirm 2 or 3 times and then it claims it deleted my account. This is in Firefox on Windows.
