Has anyone gone through the process of switching? I use Keeper for personal stuff, and I suppose there's always the chance to switch if one turns out to be technically or politically much superior, but there are dozens and dozens of passwords in there to transfer...

I switched from LastPass to 1Password. It was a quick and simple export -> import process.

...just checked and there is literally no export option for Dashlane on linux.

I will start switching to a replacement shortly. I wish I'd known sooner.

Used to be a keepass user until I found bitwarden. It does everything better, more simply. Sync is handled so much better and the browser extensions are super intelligent at picking up login fields.

Is Bitwarden a native app?

There is one, yes, as well as browser extensions and a web vault.

I'm using Chrome's built-in password manager. What are the drawbacks besides it being Google?

A big one would be lack of secure notes.

Just idle curiosity, but I'd be curious to see BitWarden's commit on GitHub: > ...at one point during our evaluation we submitted a bug report about Bitwarden through its Github project; one of the product’s maintainers committed a bug fix seventeen minutes later , and just a few days after that the fix was released to the public.

Is Bitwarden a native app on mac? Or it's an electron app? Can we use it with dropbox sync instead of their web sync?

no use of your own (dropbox) sync...

I rarely see it mentioned, but when 1Password changed to a subscription model I switched to Enpass ( https://www.enpass.io ) and I've been very happy with it.

I switched from Enpass to Bitwarden because Enpass isn't open source. Enpass is easier to setup with dropbox though, only thing I miss about that.

It probably has the most comprehensive set of apps out of any of the password managers.
