Time to switch back to KeePass. Lastpass is much more enjoyable to use but LogMeIn seems to ruin everything they touch

I take it you don't use login manager on mobile devices. LastPass costs (or used to cost) $12/year while 1Password is $29, so if you intent to use a password manage for more than two years it's cheaper to buy 1Password than keep paying for LastPass. And just a side note, I bought my 1Password for Windows, currently I'm using it on Windows, Linux, Mac and iOS and they all work fine. My OS X says that it's trial has ex…
How are you using it on Linux?
Wine, I'm guessing.

An important thing is that LastPass works on mobile.
So does KeyPassX, quite well actually, at least on iOS but there are Android apps as well. iOS (MiniKeyPass): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minikeepass-secure-password/... Source: https://github.com/MiniKeePass/MiniKeePass
How is trusting you data to several corporate entities better than to just one?

I use LastPass on Android, Windows and OS X, that means at least $80.
1password for Android is free for the basic edition. The Windows & OSX bundle doesn't cost anything like $80 ($42 atm).
You said it, basic edition. I use the Android app to edit and create logins and secure notes. That means buying the pro features.
And, until the surprising 40% sale, the OS/Windows bundle was $69, if I add the pro Android app, it was $80.
With the 40% sale it is now $48, full 4 years of lastpass subscription

What makes you trust LastPass to spread your database to your devices more? And what makes Dropbox so bad?
Dropbox runs a binary on your machine; that's enough to suspect them. Stick with an open source password manager and an open sync service (S3 plus a script? Or a third party client like Arq).
Yeah... I'm not in the RMS camp

One of the first things from Google :)

But someone suggested Wine and I guess it works better, but this works just fine for my needs.

Dashlane looks really promising. Does anyone here have experience with it? Does it work as smoothly everywhere as LastPass did?
I'm not affiliated with Dashlane in any manner but I thought I'd chime in with my experience as a user. I used to use LastPass but lost a bit of confidence in them when they asked users to reset their master password [1] when an anomaly was found present in network traffic from one of their DBs. Prior to this I was looking at open source alternatives but the syncing and add-ons for each browser (which made logging in…
I'm a happy user of Mooltipass! Definitely a great alternative.
Re: LogMeIn acquires Lastpass
#408Anyone aware of good alternatives? Primarily for enterprise customers who want to share passwords between teams. We have developers, and regular ol' employees who use this of varying levels of computer comfort. We need to be able to share passwords org-wide and team-wide. And on a personal note, I need to be able to manage my own passwords and my partner's and we share from time to time.
We're testing Hashicorp's vault - why share system passwords when you can use OTPs provided on demand? Its still early, but looks promising to me.
We started using Vault in our Docker infrastructure for storing sensitive configuration data, and I've since migrated to using Vault for a hell of a lot more. It really is a great piece of software.

Hi, I just bought 1password, switching from LastPass - one feature I really liked in LastPass was the ability to save the master password (I keep important passwords in my head and a password manager for less important things). Is there any chance this functionality will be provided? As it stands if I want to keep using 1Password I'll downgrade my Master Password strength (because it's a real pain to type it every ti…
You realize that having that option enabled is basically equivalent to having a plain text file on disk which has your passwords, right? If you encrypt your filesystem, this isn't so bad, but still any kind of remote execution exploit could basically gain access to all your passwords.
Well, it'd be encrypted with my login password as part of Keychain password storage under OS X (and with my device key + unlock code under iOS) so at rest it's still going to be fairly secure.
But, as I said, I don't use password managers for passwords that are really important, I use them for the bulk of online services where I'd like to use a different random username/e-mail & password for each.

Hi jwr, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. Thanks so much for appreciating our dedication to our product. Security is incredibly important to us and we take the quality of our work very seriously.
Adding to the other response here -- it's great to thank your customers, and you wouldn't want to hide that you're affiliated with AgileBits. But please bear in mind that people reading HN are here to read a discussion. A good guideline is just "does this add useful/interesting content to the discussion?"; if not, think very hard before adding it. Plus from the HN guidelines: Please don't sign comments; they're alrea…
i've often felt that hn should support some sort of flair for people who want to make it clear that they are speaking for their company
