On that note: my best “purchase” was moving from 1password to bitwarden. Every interaction I had with 1password support over the years left a sour taste in my mouth. It was gaslighting in the purest corporate sense.

I finally broke the shackles and moved to bitwarden. Now I’m paying 10 usd for their premium service and that’s because I want to support the product. I don’t even use or care about any of their premium features.

It's probably better than the competitors, but still too often, especially on iOS, the safari extension and the share extension, and the app seem to be out of sync.

I've been using the old v4 "standalone" edition for a long time. About a month ago I finally allowed myself to switch to the SaaS model on a 'family' plan. Its amazing, and more importantly I can now help manage my kids security etc. Loving it.

Just curious, is it better than keychain (for Mac users)

Yes, it's cross-platform and the app is quite polished. Keychain doesn't even have a proper app on the iPhone, never mind other platforms.

The passwords in LastPass were still kept safe and the breach could never impact that because of how it's stored.

When cloud suppliers can update the proprietary software at will, there is no guarantee they won't add a parallel sync mechanism that is not E2EE.
