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'm a bit concerned that Bitwarden might also follow a similar path later on, if we keep using the free version. Any thoughts on that?
I can't blame lastpass for choosing to monetize their product. Securing the web is also not the job of lastpass. Unfortunately, making users pick either a desktop or mobile device for the free tier and requiring pay to have both I think many will pick the path of least resistance and go back to their old habits, foregoing password managers and unique passwords altogether.
To those that dismiss KeePass as being too clunky I hear you, but I think the situation is better than it used to be thanks to the development of several high quality and open-source clients for non-Windows platforms: iOS (StrongBox, KeePassium), MacOS (StrongBox, MacPass), Android (Keepass2Android), and KeeWeb as well. I would pay special attention to whether or not these clients support KeePass' built in database sync/merge feature [1], especially if you don't use a cloud back-end. Most cloud providers will save two versions of a file when there's a sync conflict ensuring you don't lose data.
As for storage back-ends I've used OneDrive, sFTP, and WebDAV [2], and I'm currently migrating everything to WebDAV. sFTP works well but some clients take too long to open and close the connection.
Seriously people, this is one awesome tool, it comes with web interface, browser extension that works great, is totally free and team ready. Developer is responsive and updates it regularly.
I was using everything before it, from LastPass, over pass, psono, bitwarden, 1pass, keypass, just to name few, but after the NC Passwords I never looked back.
The only hurdle is that you need to have NC installed, but NC is great too on the other hand :)

If the only thing that a customer cares about is paying the minimum amount, the customer should not be surprised that their choices would be limited to conglomerates.
Independent restaurants are a lot more expensive than national chains and make a lot less money than the national chains. If one's only goal is to feed oneself in a restaurant, one is better off going to chain one.
LastPass was my first ever password manager and I used for it ~5 years. A few years ago, I got fed up with how sluggish it was (at least, at the time). So I switched over the Bitwarden. Unfortunately, the Bitwarden Safari extension for macOS had a bug where I had unlock my vault every time I wanted to use a credential and that got annoying. Around the same time I started using Bitwarden, I started at a job with a cor…
This is a feature not a productTM. I switched to using safari’s password sync across mobile and desktop. It only works on iPhones and macOS desktop safari, but I adjusted my workflow. It’s both free, and reliable as long as Apple supports it. But I trust Apple to exist or migrate better than a dedicated product company like lastpass. Both for a decent user workflow and for not being breached (much scarier to me). I k…
Hard disagree -- this is a product, not a feature.
If it's a feature then it's tied to a single product. The whole reason I don't use Apple's or Chrome's built-in password syncing is because I need my passwords to also work on Android and on Firefox.
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…
curious what "support" means in this context, as keepass is free. do you donate or otherwise contribute to the project, or does support just mean use?

Why would you type a 90 character password instead of copy / paste or have the manager fill it in? Also why 90 characters when 2FA would be the safer option? Or half that is already infeasibly long to brute force? Also what do you mean 'reading the password', like via a screen reader? I mean that would be pretty bad for accessibility, but if you mean displaying the password, my version has buttons for it (regular inl…
I was not clear. This is the password for the password manager (e.g. 1Password/ lastpass master password). The password to rule them all. It should be extra secure. I also have 2FA, but you must have heard of defense in depth. Anyway, I want to be able to see the password and check for typos before entering it to unlock the vault. I don't want to retype the whole password in when I only mistyped 1 character. When I s…
