I do have the cloud keychain as well and have started using it for new passwords. The problem is I have 7 years of passwords in LastPass. Is there a way to import to the keychain?

I find these things unusable in practice compared to Google Password thing. I've tried a few but they never work right.
Anyone had a different experience?

I knew I should have bought 20 years of LastPass for $240 way back in 2014. I still have a couple years left, but after that, we'll see if I stick around. Everything being subscription-based is dumb, one-time payment is so much easier and gives better piece of mind.
Does bitwarden auto save passwords after you login etc? Think last time I looked at it it didn't do that?
There are some annoyances (e.g. inconsistent vault syncing at times ), but overall, lastpass has been pretty solid and worth paying for (I've used it in enterprise/personal settings).
If iCloud keychain expanded into the family sharing realm, it might be tempting to just use that, but it's nice to not have it tied to a particular OS/device.

Interesting. LPs autofill worked great. I'll check out Bitwarden free before I decide to buy it.
Yeah, if i wasn't using Windows machines I'd just use iCloud Keychain.
That's funny, I switched from iOS to Android and yeah, the Android app runs terribly, sometimes it autofills, sometimes it doesn't; the apps pin code is tiny compared to iOS; it's been a slight hassle dealing with LastPass on Android.
+1 for KeePass. I've been using it for like... 15 years at this point? Never had any issues.
Can't even get into my LastPass account settings now to delete the account, getting an error when trying to open it.
Yeah, I found an article on Medium involving using a Firefox ext to import/export but apparently that ext is no longer active. Not sure I want to trust my passwords to a random github file. I'll figure something out. Probably just go with 1Password. A lot of places recommend it for Mac/iOS users so that's nice.
I figured it out if anyone else also wants to know:
Auto-fill Logins on Android | Bitwarden Help Center
The Bitwarden password manager makes passwords available for auto-fill on Android devices so you can seamlessly log into websites and apps while maintaining strong passwords.
bitwarden.com
just transferred to Bitwarden and as others stated, it's fairly painless.
- Go to Lastpass website, reach the export from the advanced options, copy the text and paste it in bitwarden import tool.
- Go to Lastpass extension, go to tools and export the form fills option, import to bitwarden via the same tool.
Done. The upside as well is this has 2FA free with Google Authenticator for me so I took it. And worst comes to absolute worst if Bitwarden ever reaches a point it forces you to go premium to keep some features, and no free option still exists that is easy to transfer shit, then at least this is $10 a year so half the price of last pass.

I wish more online services just had a reasonable fee tbh. Tired of data scraping being the primary business model. Makes for useful services being sacrificed for not being lucrative enough for mining user info.
LogMeIn can go screw themselves. They pull this kind of shit with whatever product they get their dirty hands on. Detest this company.
edit: didn't realise LogMeIn was itself bought out in 2020. My statement still stands,

Exactly what I was looking for lol. Looks like I'll make the switch. Was a premium user but found no use for it with the switch to multiple devices being free. Now that it's reverting I'll gladly pay for what I've heard is a better service.
What do you mean about the 2FA? I use it with LastPass too unless you mean something different.
huh. guess I never saw the option with Lastpass to have 2FA for the free version. Maybe they did offer it. Regardless, I've moved on. Deleted my Lastpass account too.
it's less that—I also like paying for good software when i can—and more that this is an annoying business move that, intentional or not, sort of feels like being hit up for money after the fact. evernote went through the same thing; offered an incredibly generous business model at first, and then reneged and changed things after everyone had already built a workflow around the way the free version worked. it's just kind of a pain in the ass, and regardless of whether is IS one it can feel like a bait and switch. regardless, it's an inconvenience, which is the last thing you want to cause as a service company
For starters, most password managers generate passwords for you, that are random letters of letters and numbers and symbols. I've just finished switching over to BitWarden at the recommendation of this thread so I'll have BitWarden create one to show what I mean: D*T$uJ@2Rka28R
That kind of password is the most secure type of password as it's incredibly hard to remember, and random enough that password cracking software takes forever to crack it. if we go to https://howsecureismypassword.net/, and punch that in, it will tell us it will take about 200 million years to crack it using existing password cracking technology. Where as "mypassword" will take about 58 minutes.
So you go through and generate a password like that for every site you use. That way, if someone puts a gun to your head asking for your bank password, you genuinely don't know it. That way you can't be socially engineered into giving it up.
Second, these tools will often auto fill on sites it recognizes it has a password for. Lets say I log out of ResetEra. Instead of typing in "PurpleMoustache" and then my password, I click one button and it all fills in. This makes Phishing sites all but useless in an attack since the password manager won't "recognize" the website and won't do that auto fill. Plus it's very convenient.
And third, which is why people are pissed about these changes, these commercalized password managers (LastPass, Dashlane, BitWarden) all have native phone apps that hook into the OS's password system to do all the above natively. Technically the gold standard of password managers is KeePass, but that doesn't have an official app (just third party ones which... doesn't feel like a good idea), and is dramatically more complicated to get up and running in the way that LastPass or Bitwarden or whathaveyou are for the average user.
Never understood how the free version of Last Pass worked for them. I left them years ago when they were hacked though and enjoy 1Password since then, too.
You're actually using a password manager because the one built into Firefox is called Lockwise. As long as you're auto generating strong passwords and you're not reusing them you're probably good, better than most people anyway.
Guess I'm joining the party over at Bitwarden. It was pretty painless to export everything over.
Hope some of the people moving to Bitwarden chip in and pay for good software. I don't think I use any of the paid features but I still throw them $10 a year.
I can also vouch for BitWarden, it's fantastic.
BitWarden does, i'm not sure about 1password.
