LastPass has failed to launch on my mobile phone too many times recently for me to trust it. This change to their service is the impetus I needed to finally switch.

Yeah, the lack of a good Mac client made Keepass untenable for me. I tried several and they all sucked. A password manager is the one thing which I really need to work well everywhere , because I need access to my passwords everywhere.
I've been using macpass for a while on osx, and it works pretty well (and looks better than keepassxc): https://macpassapp.org/

#353What's wrong with KeePass, besides low marketing budget?
Tell you what, I’ll give you my moms phone number and you have her set up keypass remotely with only quick basic instructions. No? Because she was able to set up and run Lastpass fine.
And now she'll have to export and migrate away from Lastpass. So the complexity was basically tail-loaded.
One of the major advantages of an app like Keepass{whatever} is that once it's set up it keeps working without subscription or keeping an eye on your inbox for changes to the Terms of Use.

Keepass is another cross-platform option (open source), though the UI on non-windows environments is a bit... crap. Nontheless, it works, and it works well.
Keepass and all is great. But it doesn't have first class support for anything but passwords. I'm sure many people will cringe when reading this, but I also save credit cards in my password manager and use it to auto fill when I need it. This unfortunately isn't supported by Keepass et al. It has templates, which are supported by some implementation but not others. Which also isn't great.
Another reason this is helpful is if you lose your wallet and have all the phone numbers and details for your cards stored in a sun cable database. It makes it easy to cancel your cards and order new ones.

#355So many "I've migrated to bitwarden lately" comments. I'm in the same boat. Was a paying customer to LastPass.
Price increase played part of why I switched.

Keepass is not a Web first app. There are extensions and workarounds but considering the nature of its file based database it can never be as smooth as solutions like bitwarden and others. At work we share a Keepass file on a nextcloud instance and it's a giant PITA.
We used Dropbox and it was also a PITA.
Bitwarden is great, haven't used 1Password.
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#357LastPass 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…
I had almost the exact same experience. Lastpass was too sluggish for too long and then they jacked up the prices (while also making the free plan actually usable with syncing). I tried Bitwarden but I hated the chrome extension because it didn’t have good autofill which is critical.
Finally switched to 1Password and it has much better autofill + great OTP support even on iOS.

#358This is such an odd choice of pricing model. The usual approach is to say you get multi-device sync as part of a paid plan and single-device usage for free, or to place an upper limit on the device count, not count of types of devices.
My guess is that they want to limit functionality enough to make paid plans attractive, while still giving you the chance to try out how the sync works, but I can't help asking myself if this isn't unnecessarily confusing and going to put potential customers off as opposed to e.g. offering a 30-day trial on their paid plans.

#359I moved to Bitwarden about a year ago when I got fed up with the terrible UI in Lastpass. Bitwarden isn't the pinnacle of UI either, but at least it's way cheaper. Been very happy with it.
My topics:
- Bitwarden is becoming risky to use?
- the next Bitwarden?
So many people recommend Bitwarden now. I am a paying customer from the first day and have been using it on all my devices. Bitwarden followed my Lastpass experience, similar to what OP has described.
Now, Bitwarden's popularity is troubling me. It has become already large enough to be an attractive target for attacks. The bigger it gets, the more lucrative it is for attackers. Similar to the Windows vs. OSX discussions 10 years ago: viruses spread on Windows, because it was big.
Hence, I am starting to worry about using it and asking myself what "the next" Bitwarden is.
What do you think? Is my reasoning going into the right direction? Do you see the point reached where Bitwarden has reached critical mass? What would you recommend as "the next" Bitwarden?
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#360Anyone considering pass ( https://www.passwordstore.org/ )? It is written in bash and uses gpg to store credetials on disk. And it is developed by the same guy behind wireguard. Also completely FOSS. On iOS I use passforios ( https://github.com/mssun/passforios ) and on macOS I am the developer of Pass for macOS ( https://github.com/adur1990/Pass-for-macOS ) which is a wrapoer for pass containing a Safari extension.…
