Of course, LastPass realizes that one of the major perks of having a password manager is the autofill function that saves typing on both PC and smartphone visits to websites and apps. Limiting free users to one or the other will force many to start subscribing.What's changing in LastPass Free?
Beginning March 16, 2021, LastPass Free will include access on one device type of your choice. The first device you login with on or after March 16 will set your active device type.
If you choose computer as your device type, LastPass Free will work on all computers in your life:
ALL Computer Devices
ALL desktop computers
ALL laptop computers
If you choose mobile as your device type, LastPass Free will work on all mobile devices in your life:
ALL Mobile Devices
ALL mobile phones
ALL tablets
ALL smartwatches
While I still find their product appealing, this change has me looking around at other password managers - especially free or very cheap options - to see whether I might get the same functionality I currently get from LastPass from an alternate password manager. There have been multiple Bogleheads threads on this subject through the years, but I didn't find any recent discussion, so I hope my posting isn't too redundant.
Bitwarden has been mentioned in the past as being a good alternative to LastPass, and it has a free version. Does anyone have recent experience with Bitwarden?
Also, have you gone through the process of switching password managers, and if so, how painful is this?
