Here's my end user take on it. I have moved from LastPass after almost 10 years and going to stick to it for two main reasons:

1. It's cleaner and doesn't feel bloated

2. It's open source.

However I wish:

3. They would have some consistency between mobile (iOS) and extension (Safari) UI (because imho extension actually looks like a mobile UI, I find iOS UI less useable)

4. They would do away with load time that I often notice when I open extension even though data is stored locally.

5. It doesn't maintain state or save info when I leave the extension popped up and then move away and come back to it. Also, It also doesn't save auto generated passwords with the "url" it was generated on which often renders password history useless.

6. For everything I have to reach all the way to the browser bar extension button and I don't get any option in the text field itself which was pretty good in LastPass.

I wanted to move to KeePass and while it has an excellent app for desktop (native MacPass is fantastic!), but I could hardly find anything even close to useable for Safari or iOS.

Thanks for the info.

I tested out Bitwarden after I posted this question yesterday. Regarding #6, that did bother me as well. I wanted to let you know there's a fix for that (at least in Chrome there is, I don't know about Safari).

Settings > Options > Enable Auto-fill On Page Load - that will automatically fill out the login forms like LastPass does by default. But I do wish they had the option to disable this on a per-secret password like LP does.

Also right clicking on the page will give you a Bitwarden context menu which provides an auto-fill option (Right Click > Bitwarden > Auto-fill > Pick the secret). This is actually more steps than clicking the extension button at the top (Click extension button > click secret), but at least you don't have to move all the way to the top of the page.

Again, this is in Chrome.
