Well, time to switch it is. I can't justify more than a couple of dollars a year for a password manager. Also artificial limits, especially when companies limit existing features like this piss me off (cough google photos cough). Why not add new features and make them premium only?

Plus I recently changed my Lastpass password and they had added symbol/number requirements since the last time I had changed the password and it would not let me use just a word based password. Bitwarden let me without issues.

Checking out the extension now, it's also much easier to use than Lastpass. For me I don't care, but for my parents the Lastpass chrome extension interface is really confusing.

On the one hand, I tend to agree that changning existing features to paid is not-great (disclaimer, I was paying for Google Photos/One/Whatever even before they announced the changes), I wouldn't call space limits "artificial"


Yes, perhaps that wasn't the best example, the issues get lumped together in my head.

But for google, I believe the issue was people were abusing it. The proper solution would have been to stop the abuse, not what they did. Or for example, they might have removed unlimited video uploads which would make more sense, or had soft limits. Also you can't tell me google did not foresee this happening, which just tells me they used the free storage as a lure.


Why isn't it artificial? If they already had sync between devices, making it unavailable is purely artificial.


The reply to me correctly pointed out that I compared it to the new google photos storage restrictions which could be interpreted as not being artificial, not that the lastpass restriction aren't.
