LastPass was good while it lasted. As an FYI to anyone looking for other options, I migrated to 1Password (based on reviews/suggestions in this thread). It just took a few minutes to migrate. 1Password supports importing LastPass export file.

KeePass [ http://keepass.info/ ] has worked well for me across Firefox and Android, though I haven't tried it on Chrome.
What do you mean when saying that KeePass works for Firefox?
It's likely GeorgeHahn means KeeFox - http://keefox.org/
"KeeFox connects Firefox to KeePass Password Safe"

#253This really rubs me the wrong way. Do not like the idea of my password manager bouncing around owners. Or infrastructure changes that new owners often push on the acquired company. If there's one business I REALLY do not want to be moving about, and I want as little churn as possible for, it's a password manager. The thing I liked about LastPass was that it seemed like the highly geeky, less startupy approach to pass…
Dashlane looks really promising. Does anyone here have experience with it? Does it work as smoothly everywhere as LastPass did?
I used Dashlane at a previous company. It felt like a much buggier LastPass. I avoided it to the extent possible. Most of the problems seemed to be the usual non-standard HTML / Javascript hijinks breaking things but LastPass was pretty good at dealing with that whereas Dashlane seemed to get confused much more often. They may have improved since then. This was about a year ago.

I tried it for all of a week in the past. It's the top one I'm looking at moving to, but honestly the reviews that have been done by users of both are lacking on information, so I don't know what I'm giving up.
Seconded, a really amazing UI and UX with security at the forefront. Not to mention the apps are updated often to take advantage of the latest iOS and OS X features (they support other platforms but I don't use those apps).
It's not clear what the "Pro Features" in-app purchase includes. Is this something that's required for true usability?

#255My homegrown alternative to password managers like LastPass and 1Password: An encrypted zip file. The zip contains * encrypt.sh * payload, a folder containing subfolders, password text files and other personal information. To "unlock", extract the zip. To "lock", run encrypt.sh. Make sure that the extracted data won't get backed-up at any time. I just came up with this a few days ago. Let me know if you have any conc…
Mine: passwords.txt.gpg (PGP/RSA encrypted text file)
Open/edit works seamlessly in Emacs.

This isn't quite a reason to jump ship for me yet, but I'll certainly be duplicating work to other services(which so far, I've found to be quite inferior). Did you try 1Password (which works with Dropbox, Wifi sync, etc.)? Not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.
I actually did an evaluation of password storage services recently and chose LastPass over 1Password for a couple reasons: 1. 1Password is SUPER expensive for what it is. You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac. 2. It has no enterprise level features (This is for my organization) such as user management, access logging and fine grained roles and sharing. 1Password might be good for…
"You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac."
Aren't those exactly the kind of things I'd want to pay for-- rather than opting for a cheaper solution that doesn't have those features?

LastPass has a web interface, is also available as a browser plugin and when I tried it the only password they asked for was my account password. So how come they don't have your raw passwords? Because of their web centric approach, I doubt that they are encrypting it locally. And regardless, LastPass is a proprietary thing, so you can consider your passwords to be compromised anyway.
They are encrypting it locally. It isn't anything to doubt- it's been shown time and time again. Nowhere in the payload that gets sent to them is your key. The only way you could consider your passwords compromised is if you think there's already a rainbow table out there to decrypt everything, which is ludicrous.
OK, I don't know how it works then.

I was a longtime LastPass user and switched to 1Password about 6 months ago and have been really impressed by it.
I'm thinking of making the switch.
Question for you and others who have migrated from LastPass to 1Password:
Were there any sticking points? How did you go about moving over your password database?

Re: LogMeIn acquires Lastpass
#260Huh. Gotta admit, I'm rather distressed by this, but I'm trying to think through it logically. * They still don't have access to my raw passwords. Everything's already encrypted before it gets to them, and they don't have the key. They just store the encrypted data. * They however do control access to the account. This means there's a point where they get all sorts of data on me, and while I personally don't mind, I…
I have problems with the mobile also but there is nothing else that compares. Android has the standalone app and the integrated keyboard. Autofill with the keyboard doesn't work like the web browser, but you can still copy and past the individual fields. Is there anything else that has a good standalone mobile app, and has good keyboard integration?
