Lastpass Family - Privacy alternative (discuss.online)

Despite the massive breach where we found out that notes (where lots of people stored previous passwords) were not stored encrypted by Lastpass, I have stuck with them for years because its hard to switch services.

Recently I realized that both my wife and I were paying for 2 separate password manager services and we need to consolidate down to one.

Staying with LastPass and moving to a family account would only cost $4/m which is still 1/2 what we were paying combined.

Is there another manager that offers Apple, Android, and Browser based applications/plugins? Ideally also with an authentication app, though I can swap to any authentication if I need to so its just a nice to have.

Using LastPass now, after we learned so much about them from that breach, is inadvisable. Security is the whole point of a password manager, so no matter what the price, a password manager run by a company that can't do security, and tries to hide their poor practices behind a wall of secrecy and deceit, is not a good option.

BitWarden is free, or $10 per year for premium, or $40 for the family version where you get 6 accounts. It's open source and the developers are quick to respond to issues. It's a refreshing contrast to the culture of secrecy and complacency that is LastPass.

1Password is also well thought of, but not open source.
