After moving from DashLane to Lastpass because of the pay model, I just bit the bullet and ponied up for Lastpass premium because I'm lazy.
My company's IT department recommends Bitwarden, it's what I use for passwords on the job.

It is one of those services where you literally want to give them your money to make sure they always stick around.

Well since Bitwarden is open source, it's very unlikely to ever just disappear. If the current company goes belly-up someone will use that code to keep the app going

Bitwarden has the same Android functionality that LastPass has. Unlock with biometrics and auto-fill for websites and apps

Thanks guys!

I just did the exact same. The export / import process was simple and everything is looking good. FU LastPass and your new policy!

I use Lastpass on both my PC and on my phone. It's pretty seamless, though I wish the free multi-device support would have continued.

So, I might be a complete dinosaur here, but I thought I’d bump this for some advice. Basically, I suddenly find myself with almost double the amount of passwords I need for fairly regular use. As you might expect, it’s terrible! Unfortunately, it’s also unavoidable and out of my control. So, there’s got to be an easy solution:
- I need it to store all these passwords across a few devices
- I’d greatly prefer one that updates them across devices automatically
- I’d want this to just remember them and autopopulate for me so I’m not constantly having to type these in!
Like I say....this was probably dealt with years ago and I’m just late to the party. But any advice would be great!

Yup! Still using 1Password.
Autofill or copy/paste is an option. Syncs across platforms via Dropbox.

- Bitwarden. Apps are available for Windows, iOS, Android, and browser extensions
- Bitwarden. Everything is encrypted and stored on their cloud servers, as soon as you create or update a password on the PC it's available on your phone
- Bitwarden, though you have to go into the options to enable autofill so your username and password are autopopulated whenever you visit a site
It's also open source, which means Bitwarden is among the most secure password vaults as any poor security or crude shortcuts in their code would be exposed immediately. It also means if the company goes belly up for any reason anyone else can come along to keep the app itself functional

I switched to Bitwarden based on the recommendations in this thread and it's been great.

I'm a recent Bitwarden convert too, it's good.
I do use the built in one from Chrome and Edge for the many 'non critical' passwords I have. Ones that I am not super concerned about if they leaked (maybe I should be ??). Stuff like points programs (gas, retail etc.), golf tee time registrations, stupid programs that make you register an account before you can do anything with them etc. etc.

I love BitWarden.
Works perfect.
I pay because its great software. I would pay more.
$10 per year is dirt cheap.

Well that was such horrible ideas.
We didn't have any breaches but we sure were asking for it... and apparently we're still asking for it. Last summer we started to use Passwordstate and they have had a huge breach lately. We're looking at switching to another enterprise level password manager that we can host on-prem now.
For personal use, I have been thinking that I really need to use something now. I have too many passwords to remember. So this thread got bumped at the perfect time. I'm going to give Bitwarden a try for personal use... and we'll look at the enterprise/business solution for work too!
Thanks to the bumper for bumping!

As an IT network admin, the thought of using an Outlook public folder for passwords is... incomprehensible. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't horribly backfired for your organization before now. Also FYI, you can install Bitwarden to an on-prem server that doesn't store anything in the cloud

Somewhat related to password managers I can't remember but within the past few years there was an option while browsing for Google to remember your passwords. I wasn't paying too much attention to the pop-up but then on the yearly security google checks I realized just how many passwords I had saved at https://passwords.google.com/ that only requires your Google account credentials to view them. Might be worth a look to see what you have saved with Google's password manager.
I've been using Keepass but might give Bitwarden a try.

Want to hear something funny? We used a password manager before password managers were cool. Before cloud solutions. The initial IT manager got fired and the new IT Manager dumped that password manager because he wanted to remove everything the previous IT Manager bought. He came up with the public folders solution as a replacement and at the time it seemed good. He was a smart guy and knew how to be convincing, so it must be a good idea, right?
Budget was tight and convincing the big mucky mucks that spreadsheets and public folders were bad was a hard sell. Finally a colleague suffered a very expensive ransomware attack and slowly people started listening to IT again.
