Bitwarden: A Free & Open Source Password Manager – Can Import Your Data From LastPass, 1Password, KeePass And Others inc a Browser

An interesting short review by the It’s FOSS site. I can second that Bitwarden is the slickest alternative to LastPass, and I should migrate now as it was only my bank’s old website holding me back (it required triple field login which needed a custom template in Bitwarden). I did take out Premium membership with Bitwarden when I was testing it, so I use my NFC based Yubikey to unlock Bitwarden.

For personal use both LastPass and Bitwarden are free and both have 2FA, but when you want to move to hardware 2FA LastPass is a bit more than double the cost of Bitwarden, and Bitwarden is open source and you can even host it on your own server.

As the reviewer says, if you can afford $1 pm it is worth supporting. I stopped my LastPass premium payments when they literally doubled their cost.

The Bitwarden security model does not support master password recovery = no backdoor reset. It does also have fingerprint login as an option.
