Alright, I don't like the deflectionary way they talk. Reminds me of this post by Paul Graham: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1366811342699696129

I'm going to switch to another password manager. Is there anything that is a drop in replacement for LastPass? ie has a browser extension for firefox, hosted in the cloud (I don't want to be managing a server for this), and has a mobile app. I've heard a lot about bitwarden and keepass, but they're usually accompanied by comments regarding self hosting, which I'm not interested in doing.

You can use Bitwarden’s official servers without self-hosting anything at all. I did it for a couple years and it was a great experience.

I second Bitwarden!

I use 1Password. It meets all your criteria and, IMHO, has by far the best UI in both web and app interfaces. $35.88/year

This is not just for startups or blog posts, but all communication: people that aren’t confident in what they’re saying, tend to use a lot of words to disguise it. The opposite is also true.

You use Bitwarden premium for 10$/y

Why not the free version?

I pay for premium even though I don't really use any of their premium features (and could easily host my own) because I like the Bitwarden product and want them to continue as a company (without having to sell out to someone like LogMeIn...)

>has a browser extension for firefox

you might want to reconsider this. browser extensions has historically been a common attack surface in the past[1].

I switched from LastPass to 1Password and the export/import worked flawlessly. I didn't switch because of this issue, rather I use 1Password for work and thought it was just better, so I made the jump for my personal stuff.

I just switched due to their bad communication around this issue. The import through 1Password‘s website worked well, the import through the native mac application was horribly broken. Either way, beware that LastPass‘ csv export does not include attachments. You need to move them manually.

I use 1Password and like it.

How about the built in Firefox password manager? You can (optionally) sync across devices and set it as the password store in iOS (probably Android too).

Bitwarden's hosted service works just fine, you can self host, but you certainly don't need to.

I'm using Enpass, which mostly works fine. However, they've recently moved to a subscription model which is unfortunate, where-as I bought the Android version a while ago which gave me a 'Premium license'.
