LastPass is a larger target for attacks, which is why there's some kind of breach or security issue with it every few years. It's too often. I already lost trust in them years ago, but was too lazy to switch until this year. BitWarden hasn't had the same issues yet. Plus BW is open source and critical bugs can't be hidden. There's also the option to self-host your data if you want.

BitWarden's UX is a little different, and in some ways inferior to LastPass. Sharing passwords with my wife feels convoluted in BW, but it works perfectly fine. You have to create an "organization" where both users join, and then add your sites/pws to. In LastPass you just share it. But I've also found BitWarden works better, especially on mobile. LastPass would fail filling in passwords on some sites, and I'd have to use different autofill methods to get it to fill. But BitWarden doesn't have the same issue and mostly just works. I also like BitWarden's built-in 2FA field for each site's password, which eliminates having to use other authenticator apps. Except you'll still want to use a 2FA app for BitWarden's master password.
