I have done this, and it was horrible… for example I was missing all attachments (no notification or error messages). Also the fields are not properly converted 1:1. All in all, it was a big mess. This was about a year ago.

As far as attachments, that's a 1Password problem. Their export handles attachments horribly. At least it did a year ago.

Funny story: I migrated from lastpass to bitwarden a couple years back. I expected a big mess. Instead, the import was better than perfect: a bunch of accounts that wouldn't autofill in lastpass magically started to autofill after being imported into bitwarden. I think it might be the only "better than perfect" import story I've ever experienced, and I can't rightly expect it to happen again, but it happened once and that's something.

  I was a lass pass user forever then dashlane user for about a year. I ditched them all for bitwarden and think it's easily the best I've tried.

    I use Bitwarden at home. Two of my last three jobs used 1PW. I wish I had a ten'er for everytime I swore at 1PW and professed my love for Bw. I previously used LastPass but heard about Bw on HN. Saw it had Yubikey support for just $10 per year. Tried Bw. Have never regretted that decision.

      Bitwarden's model is consumer friendly. I really appreciate being able to self-host a fully functional vault, even if I don't exercise that option. I feel confident that they won't hold my data hostage. $10/year is a great deal. +1 for bitwarden.

  This is the exact experience I had. I was moving from Lastpass after they sold out. I used the migration as a point in time to clean up my vault and have enjoyed a completely clean password manager ever since. Bitwarden has slowly been adding the features I wanted when I had left Lastpass - and at this point it just works for my workflow. While I understand subscriptions can add value, I don't understand the forced model. Clearly 1Password has a subset of customers that don't want what they're forcing on customers. Maybe it's that they're positioning to sell the company and moving to 100% subscription boosts the bottom line valuation. But in the majority of cases the customer is not always delighted by this move. Sales organizations love to claim "it's what the customer wants", "it's more affordable", among other half-truths - when the reality is it's a much more consistent revenue stream that disconnects customers voting with dollars from continual enhancement of the product such that the customer is incented to upgrade.
