"I'm running Vaultwarden because while on the one hand I'd like to just pay a company to make my password problem go away, I don't know who I can actually trust to not try to take advantage of the fact they have all the keys to all my kingdoms at some point."
"I recently migrated from 1Password using Dropbox for sync, to KeePassXC (Windows, Linux & Mac) and Strongbox (iPhone & iPad) still using Dropbox. Migration was a simple matter of exporting a CSV and then just correctly selecting the column order for KeePass import."
"I left LastPass after they nuked the free option, went to 1password since my employer had a corporate deal, but when I left (my former employer) 1password simply cut my access to it with no option to switch to a personal account and no way of getting my vault back. Got very angry and searched HN for suggestions and also found BitWarden. Pretty good interface, fair deal and prices (with the free option as well). So I'm here to stay now, at least until someone buys it and turns it into another LastPass...."
