Bitwarden replaced lastpass for me and really i'd never go back.

My only gripe is filling in card details, there is never a floating icon to click to do it automatically, you need to go to the menu bar and select the card.

Apart from that all perfect!



"My only gripe is filling in card details, there is never a floating icon to click to do it automatically, you need to go to the menu bar and select the card."

At one point I became convinced that this is actually a security feature. If I recall, an article demonstrated tricking users into entering their master password using those "in-browser" decorations. I could write some html/js to build your password manager icon/etc and trick you into thinking I'm your password manager? I now accept it as a necessary UX chore to leave the browser page, but would be interested in being wrong.


The only thing I miss from LastPass is the ability to store different types of credentials. Bitwarden offers a couple of basic things (login, credit card, identity, secure note) but LastPass allowed you to create new, custom credentials.

One of the things I used to store in LP was AWS IAM creds. Sure, you can store it in a Bitwarden "secure note" but it sure was convenient to have a defined format for it.


Same - between the great product, open source, and vault warden for self hosting, I have no issues giving them 10 bucks a year for them to host for me.


After lastpass announced you could only have 1 device in the free tier, I was gone too.
