Moving to Bitwarden?

[Newroad]

Afternoon All.

I'm thinking about moving to BitWarden ($1 per month Premium subscription) as a password etc manager.

Three questions, but mostly about the 3rd

1. Is BitWarden still a good option?
2. Is the Premium subscription a good choice within (it would be for my use, but I'd like Mrs Newroad to be able to access in the event of my untimely demise/incapacity)?
3. How best to migrate to it, e.g. big bang, one site at a time, one device at a time (though this doesn't seem possible to me) etc?

Any advice gratefully received!

Regards, Newroad

I'm currently using Proton Pass because I get it included with my ProtonMail paid account - if I wasn't I would be trying Bitwarden as it is very flexible and it can be used with passkeys/hardware keys (Fido2 Yubikeys etc) as 2FA.

Depending on who your current password provider is you should just be able to import them into Bitwarden and they should then sync across all devices that have BW installed. If not then export all the passwords to a CSV file and import them that way.
Just watch out for double importing as I'm not sure if there is a deduplication facility in BW.
There isn't in PP yet (it's been requested) and it caught me out when I was setting it up...

Thanks, Infrasonic.

I don't actually have a current provider (though I can see why you thought I did as I used the word "migrate").

So, my question (3) actually means "migrating" from without a Password Manager to one for the first time.

I use Bitwarden.

Is there any specific need for the paid service? Or would the free service work just fine?

In my browser, I have the Bitwarden add-in installed, so once I am logged in, anytime I login to a site that already has browser password, it will usually ask me if I want the Bitwarden add-in to remember that account too, and I say yes.

I suspect the process of migrating is still fairly manual.

I migrated from Lastpass to Bitwarden last year. Very simple process, as explained below.

I use the free version for solo use but it looks like you can set up a free shared account using the 'free organisation' option.
