Anyone have recommendation for replacing Lastpass? I need support for Android, Linux, and Windows. I would like to be in control of my data if possible (sync to cloud) and a nice to have would be a browser extension for autocomplete.

KeePass, it's well supported on mobile platforms and has decent browser addons.

Looks like their Argon2/ChaCha20 based KDBX4 format is now out too, so I've got some upgrading to do.

KeePass doesn't have sync or sharing features.

KeePassX - I've been using it for years now. I just put the database on my Dropbox. Quick, convenient, and most importantly for me, always in my own hands.

I've used KeePassX for offline/cold storage for years. I like KeePassX so much wrote a YubiKey extension [0] years ago but it was never merged. I assume the maintainer wasn't interested, never responded, but allowed the discussion to continue. Turns out this was more the norm than the exception, I assume the maintainer was too busy or lost energy/interested in maintaining what became a big project.

Years later KeePassXC[1] was forked and slowly growing.

With a key file stored outside of dropbox, for a bit more security. Requires an extra step of manually copying the file to each device but it seems worth it to me.

The article mentions https://bitwarden.com/. I haven't tried it but on a quick glance it seems to match most of your requirements.

I don't really trust "free" cloud services. Hosting has a cost, if they aren't charging to get that money, how else are they going about getting it?

I use Password Safe. Clients for many platforms. Only drawback for me is that the iOS client does not support ownCloud for syncing.
