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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
