    I’ve been using LastPass, even after the security breach, (I changed my master pw, etc.) but it has been acting weirdly of late. I’d like to switch to a free, but great, manager. Easy transferring from LastPass to the new one is a must for this old grannie. My phone and I don’t text so, multi-factor authentication by text doesn’t work for me. I use Firefox for my browser and Win10, 64 bit. Also, I don’t store my financial accounts in the manager. Thanks for your recommendations and tips to proceed.

      For a free password manager, probably your best bet is Bitwarden The password manager trusted by millions | Bitwarden

      Even the premium version is quite a bit cheaper than other paid-for password managers: Bitwarden Password Manager Pricing | Bitwarden

      I would recommend exporting your Lastpass vault to a CSV file for safe keeping before you change your password manager:  How do I export stored data from LastPass as a generic CSV file? – LastPass Support but data can be imported directly from LastPass to Bitwarden or by using your exported CSV file from LastPass: Import Data from LastPass | Bitwarden Help Center

      Hope this helps.

      I recently switched from LastPass to LogMeOnce because of the security breach. So far I am quite satisfied with LogMeOnce. It’s simple to get the hang of in little time. You can import your LastPass data directly into LogMeOnce. https://logmeonce.com/

      They offer four plans, ranging from $0 a month to $4.99 a month. A comparison is here: https://logmeonce.com/pricing-and-comparison/ The free plan is “forever free on all devices with unlimited passwords, 2FA”.

        Which one did you pick? And why?

      Mr. Austin, and others interested, I chose BitWarden because of it’s high rating by dgc-art, Forbes, among other trustworthy sites. After a few days of using it, I wish I had switched earlier! BitWarden was easy to install, transfer LP data, and I really like it in action.

      Thanks much. I’ve been using a different one for two decades, and I’ll be staying with it because I know it so well. But a while back I suggested LastPass to a friend, and later regretted it because LastPass is not easy to use.

          Roboform. I picked it because it was the best available at the time. It still serves my needs because I know it well. But I won’t ever be uploading any of my sensitive credentials to anyone’s cloud site which is not in my absolute control. That includes Roboform. Who do I trust with my most sensitive data? Only myself.
