LastPass is in good company here, Project Zero have shown up issues with other password manager browser extensions such as 1Password and Dashlane. That said, they have swiftly dealt with the vulnerabilities raised, which is a great thing. For example, LastPass recently have had some issues with their browser extenstion brought to light: see here and here. This doesn't mean these managers are busted, but it makes the job of securing them that much harder. Password managers running in the browser have an attack surface which includes JavaScript and the DOM. In terms of the why I'm trying something else, these reasons will apply to pretty much any browser extension based password manager. I also think LastPass is pretty good, I've used it historically because I like it. That said: I think any password manager is much better than the alternative of manually managing passwords. The two major reasons I'm trying something else are security and performance. KEEPASSXC IMPORT LASTPASS HOW TOIf you're just interested in how to migrate, you can skip straight to the how section.
