> Yubikey support in browser (Personal) BitWarden: no

huh? I use my yubikey in the Bitwarden browser extension.

Otherwise, a very extensive collection of comparison data. Not surprised to see Bitwarden come out on top.

we decided that Bitwarden is the best choice for our company, and we’ve begun the process of migrating from LastPass to Bitwarden.

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

Extremely. I've been so pleased with Keepass and the security it provides. I'm using a web interface now (https://app.keeweb.info/) which is open source and worth checking out.

> Mac OS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS ... full functionality can’t be dependent on an app which is only available on Mac OS and/or Windows. In other words, lack of full Linux support is a show-stopper for us. This ruled out 1Password...

...Huh? 1Password supports all of those platforms (including Linux) https://1password.com/downloads/linux/

You're forever locked into Google Chrome!

I realize this is becoming an increasingly minor problem in the modern world, but it still bothers me. I don't know what future situations I'll find myself in, and I don't want to be locked out of all my accounts.

• What if a new browser comes out that's actually better than Chrome? (I don't want to admit to myself how unlikely this actually is.)

• What happens if I'm using a Windows 10 S device, or a locked-down library computer, or a Wii U, or some other weird gadget with a non-Chrome browser?

No integration with iOS.
