This is not a good reason, but it’s time consuming switching to another password vault. shields up
I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden, years ago now, and the whole process took roughly 5 minutes. I'm not sure if something has changed since then, or if it's more complicated to switch to something other than Bitwarden, but my experience is that it at least can be simple.
The change was LastPass messing around with their membership options.
I had LastPass for years. I eventually decided to pay for it. Then they decided to remove premium all together...only to add it back by taking away features. One of those features was being able to use both mobile and web.
I opted for mobile, because I always have my phone with me, and the app has biometric unlock, whereas web does not.
But you can't save and export your LastPass via mobile. Has to be web. So I had to switch that. And I'm just now getting to a point where I can transfer.
Ditched Lastpass years ago and switched to bitwarden. Much, much better experience.
KeepassXC and sharing the databases between devices with any sync tool is the best bet for me. Used it since I started using password managers and I will never understand using any online service for this.
