From your experiences is there any downside or drawbacks with switching? I've been considering it, particularly as Lastpass's Firefox app has been flakey and unreliable.

In general Lastpass has become less reliable since the LogMeIn take-over, and they've now added ads to the vault which bug me from a security perspective (even if I happily pay $2/month, it is the principle of putting profits over security).

I'm a former last pass user as well. I made the switch about a year ago, and haven't really looked back.

That being said, there are a few things that annoy me about bitwarden.

For some sites or apps in iOS, you can launch a password manager to retrieve your credentials. This sometimes but does not always have bitwarden available.

Sometimes when launching bitwarden from an app, it will only show you the logins associated with the URI for your current page. But if you're launching it from an app you can't search for the right login.

These are small issues, which I usually mitigate by just launching a full on session of the app and copying the password.

I had to break a habit (I guess I picked it up from last pass) with the extensions as well. If you click away from the extension box, it will lose your context, and you can't restore it. I have had to restart filling out the credentials more than once because I didn't click save. Also, I think it takes too many clicks to create a new login with a generated password and save it.

Overall, these issues are minor for a good free product, and I would recommend it. I use bitwarden on FF, Chrome, and iOS, for context.

As a very happy BW user, this is probably its weakest point at the moment. It improves a bit if you click the "do you want Bitwarden to save these credentials" banner, but still suboptimal (the captured URL is unnecessarily precise).

I don't think they can solve this problem though, unless they get a sidebar - which may not be possible with WebExtensions (I honestly can't recall).

This changed with the recent release of iOS 12 autofill in Bitwarden. If there is no credential found based on the app/website address you have the ability to search the vault for it.

Another LastPass user of ~5 years. I was actually dreading the switch, just because of the amount of time I had spent using it (mostly always Premium). That and I have a workflow within the family for sharing, etc.

I planned on a week long switch over to make sure things went smooth. However after switching, and validating all common accounts has been imported correctly I just never had to open LastPass again. This took all of 2 hours.

BitWarden has the upper hand in three key areas for me: Android, FireFox and CLI. The LastPass extension for FireFox has become downright useless and that was the main catalyst for me switching.

I've switched now about a month ago and can't imagine going back. It just works like you'd expect in most situations. I'm fighting it less than LastPass and my store of passwords is all cleaned up and far more sanitary. LastPass lets you make a mess far easier, so a nice side effect of BitWarden is that the structure is more prescriptive but I've been yet to bump into an area where it's blocked me from doing what I need.

Highly recommend BitWarden if you're fed up with LastPass and FireFox.

I know this is highly specific, but it's something I've struggled to find a good answer for.

Do you use Android 8+ with Firefox release and the BitWarden app?

I'm on Android 8.1, Firefox Release, and I haven't been able to get the BitWarden to pop up toast notifications and autofill in Firefox. (This does seem to work with Nightly, but that has crashed too often for me to use it regularly.)

Was there an import/export process you used to transfer your existing safe?

I don't have ads in my vault. Are you a premium user?
