> This past weekend I migrated out of 1Password, which I had been using for 18 years. That was a fairly big job. The export/import did OK, but I still had to go one-by-one through 600+ entires to sure things up and fix little things.

Don't start using new services or capabilities on corporate platforms. It's a trap (TM).

Start with open source. It'll be a little bit behind the curve initially, but it will pay off over a lifetime. I started with Keepass back in the day, and never had to worry about migration.

I’ve tried to use Keepass many times. It’s always felt extremely clunky to use. Last time I tried it (at work) about a year ago and it seemed like nothing changed in the last 20 years.

As much as I’d like to be an open source purist, the user experience isn’t there. The lack of design talent in the open source community is still apparent, and there is often little focus on the last 5-10% of the UX that makes something nice to use. I assume this is because that part isn’t very fun.
