My once long-held love of LastPass notwithstanding, I finally made the switch to Bitwarden and found out why it's gathered such a devoted fanbase. This - combined with its hyper-flexible platform, browser compatibility and its feature-rich premium options - push Bitwarden ahead of its competitors.

Bitwarden's open-source code base creates a transparent security foundation beneath its otherwise streamlined and designed-for-simplicity interface. So when LastPass restricted its free service to use on a single device in March 2021, Bitwarden - the only other app with the same offer - sealed the deal and became the de facto free password manager champion.īut what do we know about Bitwarden? Is it as safe to use as LastPass? Is it as convenient and user-friendly? Is it as compatible across platforms, and is it as packed with as many features? You bet your login it is. Up until spring 2021, only two of our leading password managers offered free service tiers that allowed you to synchronize and use a password manager across multiple devices.
