Why people still use it despite two security breaches?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is not a good reason, but it’s time consuming switching to another password vault. shields up

I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden, years ago now, and the whole process took roughly 5 minutes. I'm not sure if something has changed since then, or if it's more complicated to switch to something other than Bitwarden, but my experience is that it at least can be simple.

There were issues exporting passwords from LastPass when I tried moving after the first security breach. It would only create a CSV with a few rows and it was an issue for many at the time. I couldn’t help be cynical about the timing.

Oh, that definitely makes sense. I switched away as concerns around third-party trackers came up, in 2021. If I'd only been able to export a CSV with a few rows, I'd have been upset about it.

You can import your password database from lastpass to bitwarden.

Does it have a browser extension, cloud syncing, and family sharing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Bitwarden does yes

The LastPass export doesn't capture attachments. So depending how heavily you used that feature. It can be a bit more complicated.
