I recently moved my passwords from an expired 1Password account to Bitwarden (right at the time they announced linux support actually, which was always the biggest thing I missed). Bitwarden has a FF extension and allows me to use it across mac/windows/linux.

I was looking at Bitwarden yesterday as I've been putting off moving over from LastPass and 1Password seemed weird with importing from it.

Is Bitwarden decent enough? The fact that it has a cli, FF extension etc. on a free plan is pretty tempting.

I’ve been a happy Bitwarden user for 2 or 3 years. Recently upgraded to the family plan for shared passwords and that is working well.

Bitwarden is ALL what you need. It's much better than all these paid apps.

It's fantastic. I use the Firefox extension on my laptops. On my Android I have the app. It is very convenient having access to the same password store across multiple devices. If you have iOS it's even better as it hooks into the iOS password manager API so apps and websites that present a login screen can be autofilled using Bitwarden. Android has something similar but doesn't work quite as well but it's easy enough to copy and paste from the Android app. Very happy with it.

Ive been using the free plan and have been quite happy so far - I couldn’t get my 1Password vault exported (I think you need their desktop app to do that) so I had to manually move things.

But all in all really happy with it.

I've been really happy with a friend's self-hosted version of it. Easy to spin up on a local server if I would ever need to as well. Really nice separation of concerns as it relates to the article too. All around happier than LastPass.
