LastPass appears to be holding users' passwords hostage

> it’s even easier to not spend the effort reworking your workflows and ways you use password tools.

Yeah, this. I've been using LastPass since 2012 - four years before BitWarden even existed. BitWarden actually looks excellent and I'm tempted to switch, but the easiest thing is just to not do anything.

Although I understand your point from a psychological point of view, in my experience switching from LP to BW was an easy task.You can create a temporary CSV to export your Lastpass vault and import it in Bitwarden. It takes 2 minutes maybe. The rest is just switching which app you use to fetch your passwords.

Although that was prior to the shenanigans this post's article talks about.

I thought it would be time consuming too but it's literally just 1 minute to sign up for an account, export from Lastpass and a 2 click import into Bitwarden.

It transferred EVERYTHING -- passwords, notes, credit cards etc. It's super easy.

Yeah this was also my experience. I expected a world of hurt when migrating to Bitwarden but it just worked!
