I hear you, and generally you are correct, but migrating from LastPass to BitWarden (and setting up the extension to work exactly the way I liked LastPass to work) truly did take 30 minutes. I wasn't expecting 100% feature parity but it's there. What took the longest was discovering CTRL+SHIFT+L is the shortcut to auto-populate username/password in forms. Pressing it again will cycle to the next account in the vault.

I knew about Ctrl+Shift+L but never thought to try using it to rotate through multiple credentials. Thanks for that!
Lastpass user here that probably should migrate. Is that keybinding changable and how is the iOS experience?
It’s great on iOS! It integrates into the password manager just like LastPass did, so you get the “Passwords” button or the account name. If you have faceID or touchID set up, it’ll auto auth you and autofill the password. Bitwarden is seriously almost a drop in replacement. The biggest difference is the extension settings in browsers don’t autofill by default in the same way as LastPass. Also you can self host bitwarden (what I do).
> that keybinding changable

Any shortcuts used by extensions based on the WebExtensions API are changeable. If you're on Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+A (or go to about:addons), open the gear menu, and click "Manage Extension Shortcuts".

I tried but warden for a bit and found it to be quite janky. Not good UX over all.
