Eh, the mobile apps were only available for the paid version originally, so I guess they just went back to how it was before.
Interesting business model to revoke a feature that has become standard among your competition. I can’t get off Lastpass because I have 100 paid users on Enterprise, but why on earth would I recommend my family use LP now?
Well, time to switch it is. I can't justify more than a couple of dollars a year for a password manager. Also artificial limits, especially when companies limit existing features like this piss me off ( cough google photos cough ). Why not add new features and make them premium only? Plus I recently changed my Lastpass password and they had added symbol/number requirements since the last time I had changed the passwo…
On the one hand, I tend to agree that changning existing features to paid is not-great (disclaimer, I was paying for Google Photos/One/Whatever even before they announced the changes), I wouldn't call space limits "artificial"

LastPass is a commodity. There are many free or open-source alternatives that are as reliable and as secure as LastPass that provide similar functionality. It's hard to justify even the small price for a commodity service unless you provide the best possible solution, and sometimes even that is not enough. I switched from LastPass premium that costed 15$ per year a few years ago to Bitwarden because LastPass could re…
I've been debating making this switch myself. How time consuming was the transition? Did you have to do much manual data entry or does bitwarden have the ability to reliably import lastpass data?
There is a [KB article](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/import-from-lastpass/) about exporting your LastPass vault and then importing it into Bitwarden.
It only took a minute or 2.
The most annoying thing for me is that Bitwarden doesn't have support for all of the extra "credential types" that LastPass has. They are still imported, but everything that isn't supported is imported as a secure note.
So far the only issues I have had logging in anywhere has been logging into my firefox account (in a new browser), and home assistant.
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.
I definitely don't trust LastPass with my information, definitely don't trust that it will actually work in my browser, and if you export your lastpass vault bitwarden imported it perfectly.
Take my advice at your own risk of course, I had both for a few months before I was confident it was safe to close my lastpass account.

How does it compare with 1Password?
- Fails to fill out passwords around 2% of the time (Firefox account for example)
- Sometimes I mash the "CMD+/" shortcut and nothing happens. It's very unstable.
- Password generator is rigid. I have to edit the generated password about 90% of the time to add capital letters, numbers etc. I made a comment a while back on how we should be using HTML data attrs on the password field to hint how a password should look for password generators. Perfect password every time.
- Can't remove a single item from the trash. It's empty all or nothing.
- The shift to the web. Introduction of Keepass X extension whilst supporting the legacy. No feature parity between them. It's a bit of a mess to be honest.
Good thing I use pass https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pass
use bitwarden, use 1password, use any of the built in alternatives provided by your OS or browser. anything is better than Lastpass.

The functionality is a commodity but what about the UX? MP3 players were fairly common when the iPod came out but the iPod crushed all the competition? Why because the UX was simply better. Without a doubt the password manager with the best UX is 1Password. Last year ago I got my tech-averse partner to set it up on her phone, the entire process took about 10 minutes and then it was done. She's never asked for me help…
I was a paid Lastpass user who switched to Bitwarden a few years back because of the UX/functionality issues Lastpass had been developing. I've heard 1password has better UX; I'd describe Bitwarden's UX as similar to the Lastpass of 5-7 years ago.

To me, the unbeatable feature of Keepass is the fact that I'm not limited to user/password combination. I use it to store important notes and even files.
Bitwarden has the ability to store secure notes as well. I don't think it has the ability to store arbitrary files though.

I would agree for the macOS and iOS versions but the Windows version could get some polish. The default title and menu bars still hang around, the font choice isn’t that great, and all in all it feels less nice to use.
