I'm transitioning from LastPass to BitWarden. Both services are good.
If both are good, why the change?

Price and wanting to support an open source project. I have a few months before LastPass would renew, so I'm seeing if BitWarden will fulfill my needs, and if so, not renew LastPass.

Have you looked at https://1password.com/
Btw, I tried (actually paid for it) Dashlane...no thanks. Terrible, gawd awful support! -
Been a personal/family account last pass user for users, last year brought the enterprise version into the IT dept here at my org. I've been pushing to also get us to pay for accounts for all of our users since we ask them to remember multiple credentials. I think that'll happen later this year so happy about that.

Why not just use Firefox? They have a dedicated password manager now, and it is higher quality than the password storage features in Chrome and the like.

For me the answer is centralized policy control. There are a variety of tweaks I can make to LastPass users usage. Forcing master password changes, forcing 2FA, having a master account to force resets for users who fail password recovery, limiting access, etc.

KeePass. Been using it for years.
It's simple, great for organizing, and the auto-type just works.

Sorry, that UI looks like something from the '60's!

Ever hear of a "Rat Rod"?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It just works as intended. Doesn't have to look pretty, but as soon as the poser hears, "Race you for Pinks" it's a done deal.

Lastpass, NextCloud Passwords and ManageEngine Password Manager Pro (which integrates with Service Desk Plus). All with slightly different purposes. We use the Lastpass for users, we have LastPass Enterprise with some negotiated pricing, and we do shared folders for departments.

A quick and easy way to share a password:

Yeah we use this as a department solution.
Lives on a network share that we can all access.Personal stuff I use LastPass and really like it.

So this is for business users??

Unless the user is using Firefox sync, if the hard drive crap out or their Windows profile, they will lose all their passwords.

The Enterprise version is a multi-user business version yes. They offer LastPass in a variety of different flavors for personal and business use.

https://bitwarden.com/blog/post/whats-the-right-way-to-share-passwords/Using Bitwarden collections is pretty awesome. It took a moment to understand how to use it correctly since I didn't bothered reading the documentation for first.

Based on the OPs description they would have to be using FF sync, if it was on the table, to meet the requirements.
