What prompted the move to 1password? Curious as I am deciding myself which service to use.

Not OP commenter but I personally would recommend using pass (https://passwordstore.org), I’m a little paranoid about all this fuzz, plus did you see the news in HN a few months ago about a password manager web browser extension having an exploitable vulnerability? Not sure if it was lastpass but I’ll try to search for it…

Edit: I found an old post from about 5 years ago on a vulnerability in LastPass’s extension [0]

I was so pissed at LastPass when the Firefox extension stopped working when Firefox Quantum was released, they didn't have an ETA for fixing it, their support is completely crap. I gave up no LastPass with 9 months left on my subscription and moved to 1Password. Also, LastPass UX is still awful to this day (I have to use it for work). Migrating from LastPass to 1Password was like migrating from Linux to Mac. It's more expensive, but it's sooooo much better and polished.
