Ooh, what a great example of a brand extension.

When I saw "new password manager" in the headline, my first thought was "those guys are fucked". What people want with a password manager is trust and stability, two things not associated with startups. But these folks have millions of users, strong app store ratings, and solid reviews. Going from "trust us with your data and privacy" to "trust us with your passwords" is not a big step.

I'd give my current password manager, LastPass, a C- on usability, so I'll be keeping an eye on this. I'd love to have something better to recommend to novices, and might even switch myself.

What differentiates RememBear from other password managers? After looking through the blog and website it's not immediately clear to me. What makes (or will make) RememBear better than, say, 1password, which appears to have the same features, is also easy to use, and has a long history with which to work out issues?

Looks nice but only has a Chrome extension at the moment. Also the browser extension requires the desktop app be installed.

It has a Safari extension too. The blog article says it doesn't, but it's available via the install process.

The Apple Keychain import needs some work though - it didn't pick up the vast majority of the logins I have stored in there.
