Short answer: BitWarden

I've been using Keeper (paid subscription) for about 7 years. Recently, after an app update, it randomly dropped/ate an entire folder structure of passwords (about 40 entries in total). Their support wasn't able to do anything. Unfortunately, I was bad about backups, and didn't have anything more recent than 8 months so I was unable to recover most of them.

Work uses LastPass, which I've also used personally in the past. I gave it a shot, but even after mapping my Keeper export to LastPass's csv format, it would not import correctly. To be fair, I didn't have high hopes, as we had the same issue when we merged into LastPass a couple years ago at work and essentially had to manually import almost 1000 items by small batch.

So, enter BitWarden. I setup account online, imported the Keeper csv file (no manipulation), and tada! All good now. Been using it every day for a couple weeks, and very happy so far.
