Password Manager: Let’s Give Bitwarden a Chance!

I have been using manager since 2017 since I think there should be an easy, secure, and handy mechanism to deal with passwords. Of course, by using password manager, life is a little bit easier.

And, I chose LastPass. Last year, I still renewed my premium subscription for US$36 per year. works really well, but at the same time I am sure other password manager applications — like 1Password, DashLane, Keeper — share similar quality of . But, it's about choice.

Most “popular” password manager applications also offer similar subscription price, around US$36/year. My LastPass subscription will end next April, and I am thinking of moving to other that does its basic jobs like storing password (of course!), generating good passwords, and managing credentials in categories/folders. Also, it should be also work on multiple devices and browsers.

After reading many articles, I decided to give Bitwarden a try. And, I read pretty much information about . One of the big differences with other password managers is that Bitwarden is . The other reason is on the pricing. It's only US$10/year for personal use, or US$40/year for personal (family/organization).

My decision is not related to LastPass' upcoming plan regarding the limitation for the free since I was a paying customer since day one. According to a blog post:

We're making changes to how Free users access LastPass across device types. LastPass offers access across two device types – computers (including all browsers running on desktops and laptops) or  devices (including mobile , smart watches, and tablets). Starting March 16th, 2021, LastPass Free will only include access on unlimited devices of one type

From the interface point of view, it's not that beautiful — at least compared to LastPass. But hey, it's about the features. As long as it works for me, I am fine with the interface.

Fourth year: LastPass

This month, I renewed my subscription for the next twelve months. This time, LastPass does not increase its subscription price. It's still US$36/year.

I am still pretty happy with it. I was thinking of cheaper solution that offers similar , but for know, I could not find one.

So, let's stick to it for now.

Third year: LastPass

I started using for my manager in March 2017. So, this year, it's my third year now. Before LastPass, I used . I didn't remember the exact reasons why I switched to LassPass, but I think it was about the integration with applications in devices.

I am satisfied with LassPass . For some , Google's Password Manager will work. But, when it comes to more complex password and management, I think LassPass fits me more.

Is LassPass free? Unfortunately, not. I started my subscription for US $12/year (for Premium package). A year later, LassPass increased its pricing to US $24/year. And, this year, they increased the subscription pricing again to US $36/year.

Hat tip: LassPass was acquired by LogMeIn back in 2015.

LassPass offers competitive pricing compared to its competitor like DashLane (US $40/year), 1Password (US $36/year), and Keeper (US $30/year). Since LassPass works for me (until today), I think I will keep my subscription.
