In recent years, LastPass has faced some challenges with user trust following multiple security breaches and concerns about its response to those incidents.
End-to-end encryption is a critical security feature for password managers, and while LastPass now fully encrypts all user vault data, the security incidents in 2022 and 2023 left sensitive information more vulnerable to compromise.
No company is immune to breaches, which is why regular security audits are so important. The LastPass closed-source security architecture limits independent verification, preventing the broader community from assessing its security practices directly.
Bitwarden vs. LastPass: What does the Bitwarden community say? ❤️
"Between my personal accounts and my business accounts, I have nearly 900 logins to manage. Bitwarden made it easy for me to transition from LastPass and really upped my comfort level regarding security. It's a feature-rich, user friendly app that works in every browser and on every mobile device I have."

"The comparison between LastPass and BitWarden is almost night and day. It would take 2 minutes for the LastPass vault to sync, and under 10 seconds for the same number of passwords to appear in Bitwarden.."
- Edwin Y
"...super easy to take my passwords from LastPass, and integrate it into Bitwarden. I thought it would be a nightmare, but not even close. I use Bitwarden every day whether or not I know it. I am certain that I would be out in the cold if I stop using it."
- David E. S
"As a Managed Service Provider we work with small businesses across a variety of industires who are often using a password manager. LastPass, 1Password, & Roboform are all common choices amoung our clients, but we push them over to Bitwarden."
- Mahlon O
"I love that it [Bitwarden] is open source where with the closed password managers out there you really don't know what is going on behind the scenes. After all we are storing all our secrets here."
- William S
"...the one thing users should consider when using a password manager is, what is happening underneath the hood. Here is where Bitwarden wins. Their open source model is available for scrutiny by security experts and the community, this removes any worry that something egregious is happening within the Bitwarden company and allows the community to come together and find potential security risks."
- Oscar G
"Bitwarden is wonderfully simple and intuitive to use. I don't have the mistrust with it that I had with LastPass, even before their breach."

- Verified User
"I value Bitwarden for its open-source nature, enhancing transparency and security."
- Rodolfo I
"Bitwarden packages many incredible features into an unbelievably valuable package. Management of logins, cards, secure notes, identities, and even unique features like Bitwarden Send, and TOTP, under the purview of a responsible company with open source transparency (and self-hostability!) makes an amazingly compelling product."
- Verified User
"What I love most about Bitwarden is its open-source design, promoting both transparency and security. This model encourages ongoing community-driven enhancements and audits."
- Mellisa F
"Bitwarden stands out in the Password Management product market on several levels that make it the number one choice, in my opinion, for enterprises, small businesses and families alike. The ease of implementation, integration with Single Sign On and Windows Hello are just the begining... The ability to sync Passkeys across all device types is unique to this product and makes end users lives MUCH eaiser. Administrators are also in control with it's integration in to Entra ID nad SEIM support."
