How Bitwarden, 1Password, and Dashlane fail lock-in

Bitwarden fails without a downloadable archive. 1Password fails if password managers needs the old login. Dashlane is the control: if its export opened offline, do not excuse the others.

Fails that kill compare-password-export-2026-08-24

• Paying Bitwarden annual with no export button
• Accepting a screenshot as the 1Password archive
• Skipping password managers because Dashlane emailed a CSV later
• Closing before the file opens on a second device
