I've switched from Lastpass to Bitwarden because it wasn't working on Firefox (which I also switched out of to something else). Bitwarden is so much smoother and less intrusive on the browser. I also like it a lot that Bitwarden is open-sourced.

I'm a LastPass user, I'll definitely consider the switch!

Switched to Bitwarden Premium, my LastPass Premium expires in a month anyway :D

I'll decide then which one to keep.

I'd never heard of it, but it looks interesting.

I am also thinking about the switch, one for the open-source nature of BitWarden, and second I think LastPass was just bought over by LogMeIn, heard that it was a rather dodgy company.

Anyway, couple questions - how much hassle was it? How does it perform on mobile? (Android Auto fill etc)

The switch was super fast. Would recommend! Yes auto fill works very well but you might need to manually enable it

Bitwarden has ties into the new Android autofill stuff, which makes it super smooth to use on Android. I believe it has the same for iOS.

Not OP, but I made the same transition and IIRC it was as close to a one-click operation as you can reasonably get. AutoFill has not failed me yet on Android.

Cool man! That's exactly how it went down, it was one click for me!

I'm going to be trying out BitWarden for a bit.

Part of me says if LastPass isn't breaking, there's no need to change. The other part says open-source :p

That's more or less how it happened for me, yeah
