Relatively off topic but I didn't know about BitWarden and stuck with LastPass since it's the only one that didn't have particular limitation for free users but I find it a bit cluncky. BitWarden looks amazing and I will definitely give it a shot!

Bitwarden has been nice. I migrated from 1password and while I can easily recommend both, I think I like Bitwarden more, especially on Android where the fill service works more consistently.

  Bitwarden uses an electron app. For that reason alone I could never switch to it.

    What do you even need the app for? You can just use the browser extensions. I also just tried the desktop app and it's not too bad for an electron app, not particularly good either tho.

    Is using electron/chromium an actual problem? Assuming it works, would you say the same thing if it was made in winforms on .net framework 3.5, or something as old as Qt 3?

    The app itself is not strictly needed except on mobile where it's not electron. The browser extensions are free-standing. I don't use the app.

    It's one of the better electron apps I've used. I also like to avoid them (actually you can just run the website in a browser), but "open source" definitely is far in front of "doesn't use electron/any web tech" in my list of priorities.

I just switched from LastPass to BitWarden and I am so happy. The LastPass admin panel was so slow and clunky and BitWarden is the exact oposite. I highly recommend switching. (I know a password manager is more than just about the interface but the UI is important to me.) The browser plugin and mobile app have also been working flawlessly for me.

BitWarden is much better than LastPass and Dashlane IMHO. LastPass's UI has much to be desired and is quite buggy. Dashlane has a nice UI but I find it much too slow and there were times that their extension would just freeze my machine (tried multiple devices). Also was quite buggy too. Not the cheapest either. Bitwarden seems pretty solid though, it's cheap for the premium service. Has a nice UI too. Their iPhone/Android apps are decent also.

I'm sure this will trawl up some anti-google opinions, but I've had a good experience with Smartlock. If you're bought into the chrome ecosystem it works very well. I'm aggressive about getting rid of old accounts and probably only have 40-50 current passwords in it. I like how reliably it fills in login forms and I also like being able to hit passwords.google.com on any device. Of course I also pair this with a very strong master password and MFA.
