Considering switching from LastPass after 6-7 years, how easy is it to switch to another provider?
Please provide comments and solutions that are helpful to the author of this topic.
@Spawn It's a little bit of work, but doable...Considering switching from LastPass after 6-7 years, how easy is it to switch to another provider?
I used the LastPass Pocket application to export my data.WARNING
There are known bugs (for years now) with the LastPass exporter regarding special characters such as the ampersand (&), the greater than sign (>), and the less than sign (<). The LastPass exporter may change (HTML encode) these and possibly other special characters in your passwords to their respective HTML encoded values (ex. &, >, and <. If this LastPass bug affects your exported data you should use a text editor (such as Notepad) to find and replace all of these values before importing into Bitwarden. For example, you may want to do a find and replace for & → & and < → <).
Alternatively, you can use the LastPass Pocket application to export your CSV data. The LastPass Pocket application does not appear to be affected by these bugs.
Currently evaluating and comparing all features of competing companies before signing up to any other services.Depends on how/ if your LastPass provide a export and which services are supported by other password manager provider/ tool you want switching to.
For work, do you use the Business or Enterprise version of LastPass?I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden (and back again for work related reasons).
At work we use the Enterprise version.Currently evaluating and comparing all features of competing companies before signing up to any other services.

I use the free version of LastPass and have encountered some minor annoyances lately. Not sure if I should switch but this thread should help me in that decision.
But you can't sync on the free addition of LastPass if needed.It is one of the best and most trusted Password Managers on the market.
So far the competition has not been good enough.
Edit: Good enough as in comparing features, or they use alternative methods.
LastPass (Free) allows multi-device. You can set-up restrictions if you do not want your LastPass to be used in different countries, Tor, mobile devices etc.But you can't sync on the free addition of LastPass if needed.
I always find it ridiculous that such a important feature is only available for pro.Premium multi-factor authentication like YubiKey
Does any specific password manager has that for free?I always find it ridiculous that such a important feature is only available for pro.
