On a side, am I the only person that doesn't like The Register write style, especially the headings? Yeah, irony and fun all that you want, but it ends up looking like a gossip/tabloid magazine
Basically all mainstream journalism coming out of the UK is garbage (FT & economist excluded I guess). Even the BBC has been showing some partisan leanings lately

I was a longtime LastPass customer, but the service just kept getting worse and worse, to the point where a year ago I realized I was spending more time fighting the user interface than it was saving me. And their support was absolutely useless. So I also switched over to 1Password, and never looked back. It is such a refreshing and trouble free experience compared to LP, and the few times I needed to ask a question,…
I've never used LastPass, why do people use it (or other password managers) instead of the built in browser password manager?
So glad I switched to 1Password, haven't had an issue since. They provide an easy transfer of your passwords from LastPass, you can just follow their guide and be done in 5 minutes: https://support.1password.com/import-lastpass/
Bitwarden is also very good

I still use it but their support gets super defensive if you have any criticism about it. Their "new" 1pass X still sucks and recently has been going backwards in terms of usability. They keep promising feature parity between windows/mac too but this new browser plugin seems to be their fallback excuse. If I wasn't so heavily invested in it I'd switch in a heartbeat. I need something that works across ios/mac/windows…
Hi, I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password. I can't comment on the defensive part, but text can often be harder to parse in conversation so perhaps it was that? I generally find our support team to be pretty understanding but I am sorry if our support team didn't properly handle your concerns and feedback. Feature parity is a tricky one. The Mac (and since it's shared code in a lot of ways, the iOS app) have been…
Particularly after the nonsense support LastPass gives, it was a pleasant experience, even if my grumbles hold true.
It's not a perfect product by any means but still light years better than LastPass in usability.

Switched from LastPass to BitWarden over the weekend. I have 1,200+ passwords, and the transition was seamless. I even set up BitWarden on one of my web servers so that I can control my data -- even that took less than 30 minutes, thanks to BitWardenRS docker container. The only thing I have yet to figure out for BitWarden is how to get a little icon to show up next to user/password fields in forms. I just have to ri…
Is there an exporter available for BitWarden then? I'm guessing your 1,200 password had a seamless transition because of some tooling the project provides? Is that correct? Cheers.
So in response to this story I decided to delete my (premium) account with them. After confirming multiple times (good thing), I was shown this error: https://i.imgur.com/4dpn6d5.png How does error handling like this even make it to production? I got an email as well confirming my account deletion and I can no longer log in. But all in all this clearly does increase my trust in Lastpass's security competence.
The article went up an hour and a half ago, at the exact same time as https://status.lastpass.com/ updated to say they were investigating. In under an hour, they acknowledged, identified, fixed, and verified the issue. The fix went out less than half an hour after they learned about it, and this HN submission was posted 1 hour ago, so no one learning of the issue by means of this HN submission will have been able to…
Life is so good that we are re-using brain structures evolved to avoid being eaten by lions to complain about buggy software.
