I have used LastPass since 2013.
And I have paid, ....and paid. In more ways than one. via $, because I use it on more than one pc/mobile etc.....and also via frustration because when I do have a problem with it, the answers are sometimes like the answers you might get from a Linux forum which is not as friendly as ours. You get my drift.
So....Brian (me) gets the s****....in a big way.
I have taken note of the comments on our site about bitwarden. Also on other sites.
I downloaded it first to my iphone....played around for a while and decided the better approach was to put it on my PC first and go from there.
I found and downloaded the browser (Firefox 85.0.1) add on, and soon found that it does not function properly while a VPN is connected
Downloaded and installed the file for Linux from bitwarden's site.(I opened the downloaded file with AptURL)
From that point on, bitwarden worked properly, regardless of whether I was connected to a vpn or not. The presence of uBlock Origin didn't appear to worry it either.
The bitwarden site gives good instructions on how to import a .csv file from LastPass which contains all passwords used there. Likewise, Lastpass has good instruction on how to export a .csv file containing all passwords. I deposited my file on the desktop for easy access.
I logged out of LastPass to truly and thoroughly test bit warden.....then I disabled the lastpass addon to make the test more thorough.
It passed with flying colours.
Then onto the iPhone. (Note that bitwarden also has good instructions there for Android phones as well.)
Downloaded and installed, fresh.
Signed into my account.
The app immediately filled the vault with my passwords
I then went to settings on the phone and set it up to 'autofill' password and user name for sites requiring that
Bitwarden ....FREE
Any questions or suggestions are welcomed.
I realise that 'the cloud' is transferring my info to the iphone. Although they do say..."Your private information is protected with end-to-end encryption before it ever leaves your device." I am not sure what I wish to do about that, if anything.
Pricing??....HERE

blah blah....you can read it all just as well as I can.
