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.

1Password is the only password manager that has been polished, feature complete, and low-impact enough to get me to actually use it. I gladly paid for it. If only all mobile browsers has easy ways for 1Password to integrate...

It's gotten a lot better, have you used the iOS9 app yet? Or I would imagine the Android app, their latest update on iOS is pretty good. While you are still using their app and spinning up a browser inside it, it doesn't feel that way anymore, and this is coming from someone suffering the pains of using this on an iPhone 4S.

If you're looking to change your password manager, I've been using `pass` [0] for years now, and it's one of he best open source project I have ever used. Everything works, it uses git for remote storage and gpg for encryption. There is no fancy browser plugin, but a command line to get the password is enough, since browsers cache the password afterwards and most sites use long lived sessions through cookies. And the android app works well.

Pass feels simple but it is actually elegant.

Paying LastPass user here. Not sure how this is going to go down. TBH I'm hoping that nothing will change. Yes, the UX might not be the best in the world, but to me, the important thing is availability and security (probably not in that order). A browser extension and a decent android app is what I need, and I already have that.

Paying LastPass (Enterprise) user here too. I hope the extension gets a complete overhaul. I've experienced dataloss multiple times due to inconsistent interface issues. Support just shrugs and points me to 3rd party backup solutions. I see the UX problems as critical, but yes...just below security.

Paying LP Enterprise user also. Totally agree. I spent 45 mins today just explaining to new employees how to get everything set up. The UX something that absolutely needs work

Then again, it's currently good enough that we are paying them a pretty large yearly sum, so perhaps there is no business case for spending the resources to improve it.

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).

Hi cburgess,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

Thanks so much for the complements! Our designers and developers work really hard and it great to see their efforts being so well appreciated!

One time purchase until the next major upgrade, then you need to pay more to stay up-to-date.

Hi Goronmon, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. While it is true that we think it is important for our potential customers to know that we may charge for a future version of 1Password, we have only done this once in the 9 years that 1Password has been available. And that was after a significant upgrade from 1Password 3 to 1Password 4 when we rewrote the entire app from scr…

I'm still on v3. I have the family licence. I'd like to move to v4+ but I don't see a cost effective upgrade route, for windows, ios and android in my case.

It's not clear what the "Pro Features" in-app purchase includes. Is this something that's required for true usability?

Hi jobu,

You do not need the iOS app's Pro Features for looking up or entering Logins. But you can read much more about what you do get for purchasing the Pro Features here: https://support.1password.com/guides/ios/pro-features.html

70€ is quite expensive

Not cheap, but undoubtedly the most common paid app I use. For me, the workflow of jumping in and out feel smoother and saves time compared to other products I've used. It's only a few seconds, but to me at least, I stay much more productive and in flow, which easily makes it a cost savings.

Even on Android 1Password feels like a first class citizen (I think some third party app integration is lacking but i'm used to going back and forth to copy passwords). I am very happy with what it provides.

Hi suhailpatel,

I don't know what version of Android you are on, but if you are running Android 4.0 or higher, you can use our snazzy Filling feature so you don't have to copy and paste Logins anymore. You will find more details here: https://support.1password.com/guides/android/filling.html

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?

I used to be a free user of LastPass and wanted a vault on-the-go. With LastPass the only option was an annual subscription, for an app that I didn't find particularly impressive. Switching to 1Password was extremely easy. It offered simple instructions on how to import from LastPass and the pricing model (pay once for the piece of software) was a lot more compelling to me. As an added bonus, the app is super well de…

Hi acrooks,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

I'm so glad to hear that the transition was and easy one and that you are so satisfied with our product! I will certainly share your kind words with our designers and developers.
