You should be using VeraCrypt ( https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/ ) rather than TrueCrypt. The authors of TrueCrypt even said to stop using it when they stopped maintaining it.
Yeah, I should. But Arch doesn't provide packages for it yet and there's no realistic attack vector against my usage of TrueCrypt, so meh. It's good enough until Arch starts shipping packages.

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.
The encryption happens in a browser extension or mobile app, or in client-side Javascript in the case of accessing it directly through their website.

#273This 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 switched everyone from Lastpass to Dashlane some time ago. From my perspective it works better everywhere except Linux (where it doesn't exist). We currently use it across Windows/OSX/IOS.
It is more expensive than Lastpass, but this news suggests Lastpass was underpriced for a long time.

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.
Am I missing something or is there really not a linux client?
Nope - no Linux client. Lot's of customers asking for one, too. There's a javascript client you can use on Linux, but a nice native Linux client would be ideal.

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…
If it's for an organization you should probably use KeePass, as all the data is kept locally by the organization. Allowing any third party access to sensitive passwords sounds like a bad idea.
I prefer KeePassX instead, so keep it in mind as well. While I wish there was an official version for mobile and it integrated into the browser, I almost like the separation as I've gotten used to it.

#276I don't like the announcement and I hate how they've done it. Under the signature on the blog announcement, they've added 13 paragraphs in the HTML source to bury the comments off the page. On OSX Safari and Firefox, I see no way to add new comments. Way to start as a new dawn. I wish I hadn't renewed recently.

Just for the sake of multiplatformability... Is there something remotely as good as 1Password for Linux?
LastPass works really good on Linux.
It's true. They have a little shell script that you run once and it adds their plugin to all the installed Chromes, Chromiums, and Firefoxes on your machine.

#278What are best self-hosted password managers right now? The only one I know of is KeePass2
Something I can serve from a VPS that works on most platforms.

Dashlane treats passwords shared with you as second-class - you can't access shared passwords in their web app. So I would avoid Dashlane if you're seeking a solution for your team.
Re: LogMeIn acquires Lastpass
#280I love Dashlane
I switched to LastPass from Dashlane recently. I do like Dashlane better, but unfortunately no linux client was a deal breaker...
Not only do they not have a Linux client, but their web client is super limited - it won't give you the passwords that have been shared with you, for example, and you can't register an account through it (on Linux I literally had to install the iOS app on my iPhone to create an account, have my colleague add my account to the team, and then once I could finally log in to the web app, even though it showed me on my team, it wouldn't give me any team passwords).
