The writing was on the wall when they took VC money[1]. Anyone has a good guide to move to Bitwarden/Lastpass?

Re: 1Password 8 will be subscription only and won’t support local vaults
#52Anyone have good/bad experience moving from 1Password to Apple' iCloud Keychain? I've recently been using keychain for new accounts, but not sure I wanna bite the bullet and go all in - just need a nudge.
Never had any reliability issues with iCloud Keychain since switching over 2-3 years ago, but obviously it's less featureful than 1Password. I liked how 1Password had a dedicated section for software licenses, but now just use a Notes note for that.

#53Well darn, I guess I have to find a new password manager. 1Pass + Dropbox sync was so good.
That’s my setup too - but now I’m running into 1Password changes and the Dropbox free tier restrictions

#54Still using v6 and not planning to upgrade
I was pretty stubborn at first, but honestly 7 has a lot of nice features, especially for families. You can also continue to use your old vault, though the announcement here seems kind of vague if this will continue to be true.

#55I actually don't have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with press releases that are sprayed with emojis. It's incredibly unprofessional and gives a real amateur flavor to the whole thing, which for security software is really offputting.
It's not a problem.
They have an established reputation.

#561Password used to be native on the Mac, and now it's an Electron app. I'm not going to be using 1Password for this reason, and I encourage you to do the same. Subscription business models and non-native apps are hallmarks of rot by VCs. Dump them!
Well they’ve released a Linux app built in Rust, so maybe there’s hope?
It's electron-based too, Rust is used in a backend lib with FFI:

#57I haven't had a single bad experience with Bitwarden. I even pay for it now and still run it locally just to support them. Highly recommended if you don't want to be forced into 1Password's service.
Bitwarden's UX is so frustrating. The Firefox extension has no memory to it.
For example, if you're logging into your credit card provider from Mint.com, you have to search your card, copy the username. when you paste the result on Mint, you lose the window, and you have to re-search for your card to get the password. Very frustrating.

#58I am a big fan of 1password. I was very unhappy with the transition to subscription only, and tried bitwarden. After months of futzing around with it, I went back to 1password. I did so after reviewing their audit results, awhat they documented about their architecture, and after they added great support for Linux. At the end of the day, not everything is a conspiracy - and their model appears to be incredibly secure…
I did not realize LastPass has access to your passwords...

Been paying since 2017 and it’s totally worth it.

Bitwarden all the way. I've never had a single issue at all with them, and it always just works which for me is the single most important feature
