Ah yes, Lastpass. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Come. We must be cautious.
No way to prevent this says only password manager where this regularly happens.
KeePass2 on Desktops and Keepass2Android on Android.
And sync the database via syncthing, have a keyfile on each of your devices ans password protect it all
Hey look, it's me
I’ve been a faithful BitWarden subscriber since almost he beginning, but read up on them. They’ve Been making some moves lately that point in a bad direction. Proceed with caution.
VC funding is the enemy. I'm beginning to think it matters as much as the libre/proprietary software distinction.
Any alternatives? Might jump ship before they fully enshitify and hope their users are too entrenched too leave
Currently, there's no entrenchment, as the apps are open source and there are self-hostable servers. You can easily get your data out and even continue using the apps indefinitely (the whole database stays locally in the app, offline; you just loose sync unless you self host a server).
I say that because that is the minimum bar for any alternative. I use them and am not panicking yet, but if I was starting from scratch, I would be cautious about choosing them.
Bitwarden seems to be pretty clearly on the path of enshittification. They've been going towards closing off the self-hosted versions for a while, and moving their app out of repos that check licenses, with the likely aim of taking it closed source.
The usualy will surely follow.
Not sure how soon, but I definitely wouldn't newly go to them at this point.
VaultWarden will probably become what people who care about these things turn to for a cloud-based easy sync solution

Bitwarden's the only "cloud-based" password manager I trust, since their entire stack is open-source.
For self-hosting, they recently released Bitwarden Lite, which is a lot simpler to host than their regular server. One Docker image and you can use SQLite for the database. Different design decisions compared to the regular server which is designed to scale up to handle businesses with tens or hundreds of thousands of employees.
There's also Vaultwarden, which is an unofficial third-party server implementation.

Dumped them when they completely mismanaged their first breach.
