The problem with firefox sync is that my search history and bookmarks are synced...which is non optimal when jumping between work and home computers. I use lastpass to sync my passwords..but would consider alternatives...lastpass performance has degraded lately.

You can choose what to sync.

  Thanks! It lists logins as an option. Does this sync sessions of just credentials?

I'm in the same boat you are. I'm considering alternatives to Lastpass, mostly because the client has gotten worse over the past few years (since they were picked up by LogMeIn). I don't mind price hikes, but I don't feel as if I've gotten a commensurate increase in the utility or smoothness of the application (though I've certainly noticed an uptick in bugs). My big thing is the integration of the Yubikey, which is almost mandatory. Bitwarden has this, but their recent security assessment had a showstopper, as far as I'm, concerned: 'BWN-01-010 – Changing the master password does not change encryption keys' https://cdn.bitwarden.net/misc/Bitwarden%20Security%20Assessment%20Report.pdf https://cdn.bitwarden.net/misc/Bitwarden%20Security%20Assess... If Bitwarden gets that fixed, I'd jump ship instantly. Otherwise, I may play with Firefox Lockbox and see where that gets me.

  > Resolution > An option to rotate the encryption key and mac key has been added to the change password operation. Rotating the keys will generate new, random key values and re-encrypt all vault data with these new keys.

    Thanks for that. Some of the news sites I had been reading had neglected to mention this (and to be fair, I neglected to catch it) this, and I could swear some had reported that Bitwarden had claimed that this was a difficult issue to solve, and would likely not be implementing it in the near future. Information overload, I guess.

This is increasingly my problem with everything that offers syncing. I left Chrome after Chrome 69's sign-in changes; however innocuous the intent, it unexpectedly left me with bookmarks syncing between work and home machines. Which was privacy-undermining, certainly, but more pressingly made finding anything a tremendous hassle. Keeping multiple password suites segregated has become increasingly irritating also, particularly when I want access to both suites on one phone. The easiest answer so far has been to use different password management services for different sets, which is an absolutely silly way to choose a tool. At this point, I'd take any trustworthy browser and password manager with strong tools for controlling where different pieces of information are synced.
