I simply googled for 'alternatives to Lastpass' and Bitwarden was one of
a few that came up.  Several links were articles comparing the two.  If
a person doesn't like what Lastpass is doing, it won't take much to find
other password managers.  They may pick something besides Bitwarden but
still, they have the option of switching. 

I logged into my credit card on my cell phone, about the only thing I
use on my cell phone anyway, it worked OK once I figured out how to get
it to fill the info in.  I might add, Lastpass has issues with that site
as well.  If I didn't know better, I'd think the website tries to
prevent people from using a password manager.  In a way, it is sort of
stupid to do that since people reused passwords a lot before password
managers came along.  Heck, even I used the same password for financial
type sites for a long time.  Once I started using Lastpass, I used
different passwords and even different lengths of passwords based on the
site.  It's a lot more secure as long as the master password is a good
one.  I had a really simple password for some sites that a hacker would
most likely die from laughter than anything else if they wanted to hack
it.  LOL

Good to know others like Bitwarden tho.  That helps.  <thumbs up>
