Most people would say that Bitwarden is the best alternative to LastPass. It's fully open source and free for most people. You can even share passwords between two people, a feature that is usually not in the free plan in these types of apps. Bitwarden does offer some premium features especially geared towards business, such as setting up teams of more than two users and sharing passwords.
Obviously, Bitwarden supports all basic features that LastPass has, like auto-fill passwords in browsers and apps, end-to-end encryption, tools to check for weak or compromised passwords, etc.
But the main benefit of Bitwarden is that it's open source and that you have the option to either self-host the server on-premise or using their cloud.

Bitwarden Features
Comments about Bitwarden as a Alternative to LastPass
nosbormOpen Source, generous free plan, able to self host.
4franzisko90Very similar to LastPass in terms of features and operation, with the added bonus of being open source software, which LastPass is not.
8undeniably_lizardBitwarden and Lastpass are like polar opposites of each other. The former is the best while the latter is the worst.
-1RemovedUserIt is open source and can be self-hosted. It is much more secure given the recent news surrounding Lastpass hacking. I can trust Bitwarden.
1ErikoBitwarden can be self hosted. It is used by many cybersecurity experts. It is open source.

KeePassXC is a fork of KeePassX (which itself is a fork of KeePass) and is compatible with the KeePass database (KDBX). It was originally built because KeePass was for Windows only, so KeePassXC was built for Linux (and Unix), Mac and Windows natively and uses Qt instead of WPF (a Windows only framework) and C# . The UI feels more modern than KeePass; otherwise, they are kind of similar. One major difference between KeePass and KeePassXC is that it does not have support for plugins, so keep that in mind.
For a novice, all these KeePass clones can appear a bit messy and, honestly, if you do not care about trying to figure out what is best for you, you should probably just go with Bitwarden or 1Password if you want to replace LastPass.
KeePassXC Features
Comments about KeePassXC as a Alternative to LastPass
John FastmanUnlike Lastpass, KeepassXC is open-source (more trustworthy) and stores your password database locally. It's also based on a broadly supported format, is compatible with 2FA (e.g. a keyfile) and has good browser plugin integration. Lastpass doesn't encrypt your URLs and is based in the US.
7Lastpass's centralized cloud is a target for hackers looking to gain access to a large number of passwords at once (there have been security breaches before, and its only a matter of time until someone gains access). With KeePassXC, you get to choose whether your passwords are stored on the cloud or not. The entire database is encrypted instead of specific fields. Plus KeePassXC is open source.

LessPass is an open source password manager. Instead of syncing a database of passwords, it generates them locally every time you put in a domain name, login and master password. There is no central database for hackers to break into.
LessPass Features
Comments about LessPass as a Alternative to LastPass
Chuck DeeOne of the things that lastpass does is manage your passwords. This just generates passwords by making a hash of a provided phrase and the site. It's also not as secure as it purports to be.
3LessPass is not a password manager.
1John FastmanLessPass is an alternative to LastPass but is more similar to Master Password in its approach. It doesn't save or "remember" your passwords in any way. It's a browser plugin that you enter a domain, login and master password into. It then uses an algorithm to generate a long password you can use for a website of your choice. Every time you enter the same details, you get the same password. Read their website for an honest lowdown on the pros and cons of this approach. It might be right for you!

Padloc Features
Comments about Padloc as a Alternative to LastPass
John FastmanYou ought to prefer Padlock over Lastpass, not least because Lastpass is closed source (not as trustworthy) and because it's known that lastpass doesn't encrypt the domain names of your accounts (which means they know where you go online). A better feature set is available with Bitwarden (synced, open source) and KeepassXC (local, open source).
