I wouldn't use any browser password manager, last time I even looked at one they were saving my passwords in plaintext!

Bitwarden, one pass, keepass, basically anything other than LastPass should be good!

It seems I'm not up-to-date. What's wrong with LastPass?

Edit: nevermind. I just googled it. [https://www.notebookcheck.com/Ist-LastPass-noch-sicher-Experten-kritisieren-den-Passwortmanager.677484.0.html)(url) Here is an article about it (in German), for anyone else wondering.

Seems like I will have to find a way to move my vault to another password manager. I hope I can find a way of doing this safely without needing to do that manually... So I am grateful for any advice!

Here's how you do it with Bitwarden, in case you decide on that

Thank you! Bitwarden seems to be mentioned a lot here. I'm gonna look into it.

Other than the terrible security record? That they are proprietary.

I moved from LastPass to Bitwarden. It was quite easy to move everything over. I've been using Bitwarden for several years now and have no complains. I believe Bitwarden has a guide on how to move your content from LastPass.

Edit: I use Bitwarden on both pc and mobile. No issues.

I migrated from lastpass to pass using pass-import. Worked wonders.
