Just use keepassxc and be master of your keys. You have to move forward. Every 6 months I hear about a breach at lastpass. I assumed only clueless normies were left on it, but I guess their efforts to blockade data exports were effective.

Perhaps I'm a clueless normie :)

The KeePassXC browser extension doesn't have exactly stellar reviews. As for KeePassXC itself, I'm a little hesitant to use something that makes the UX so painful I have to copy the usernames and passwords.

That said, switching from LastPass to Bitwarden seems a little pointless: yes Bitwarden is a younger company and perhaps hasn't managed to mess up their product yet, but knowing life it's just a matter of time and then I'm at a worse place than where I've started.

Have any led to leakage of users' passwords?

Ooh there's this thing called Auto-Type in KeePassXC. I am a clueless normie after all...

And it appears to be customizable how the Auto-Type types... meaning I don't have to copy-paste anything. Well gee...

Wrt Bitwarden, yes I know I can self-host a server, but, managing servers is a bit of a pain, especially for things which clearly need no server.
