I very happily pay $10/year for Bitwarden. It is in my opinion superior to Lastpass, and I don't have the doubts of the corporate governance.
Terminal gurus might like what I've been working on lately: https://github.com/timvisee/prs Free and open-source, keep control in your own hands, forever. Encryption with gpg, sync with git. Compatible with pass, which means better support and easy migration.
How does this differ from pass? At first look it appears to be pretty much the same?
It also provides features like syncing with multiple machines, multiple (gpg) recipients, aliases, property selection, Windows support and more. And I might add gpg alternatives such as age soon. See the README for a better overview.
You might like to give it a try. It automatically uses your pass store.
LastPass costs $36 per year. Operating on the principle of being the customer and not the product, that seems very reasonable for a secure way to store and share the keys to my digital life. That said, it does make it a little bit harder for me to onboard my friends and family when they ask. One of the selling points has always been "Yes, you can use it on your phone and laptop" and "no, it doesn't cost anything".
Well, time to switch it is. I can't justify more than a couple of dollars a year for a password manager. Also artificial limits, especially when companies limit existing features like this piss me off ( cough google photos cough ). Why not add new features and make them premium only? Plus I recently changed my Lastpass password and they had added symbol/number requirements since the last time I had changed the passwo…
> Also artificial limits, especially when companies limit existing features like this piss me off (cough google photos cough). On the one hand, I tend to agree that changning existing features to paid is not-great (disclaimer, I was paying for Google Photos/One/Whatever even before they announced the changes), I wouldn't call space limits "artificial"
switched to KeepassXC around 2 years ago when LastPass got bought. works great! there is no company that tries to brainwash me into thinking moving secrets[1] over a network is a a good strategy for managing them. [1] it doesn't matter scerets are technically encrypted. the threat-model for managing and storing secrets is different. I also don't want people to guess how they were created, when they were last modified…
so you don't sync your keypass data?

1. Sharing is super-confusing. I was trying to organize things for my mom, as well for my wife and I. And you have to create these "organizations". And they makes things really confusing for a variety of reasons. They are a different pricing/SKU. And the UX around them is not good. It's not clear where things are being created a lot of the time, and who may or may not have access. It just was a really bad experience.
2. It was outrageously slow for me. I use Enpass otherwise, and it comes up right away, and searching is relatively fast. But Bitwarden always had this delay. And it was a huge pain point because it wasn't clear immediately if there were just no results, or if I just had to wait a few seconds. And sometimes things would pop up unexpectedly.
So I've continued using Enpass. It has _by far_ been my favorite password manager. It's no open source, but it uses Sqlite and SqlCipher under-the-hood, and I have full control over where it syncs my data to. Sharing is still a problem (mainly because of the architecture decisions - there is no "central server"), but everything else is so great that I'm fine making that tradeoff.
I am so sick of services luring you in with a free tier, then changing the terms once they have you locked in.
I've been considering a movie to 1Password for a while, and this is the final push I needed to jump to their paid tier instead.

I didn't misunderstand "value for how something was achieved" I said it was expensive. https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/16/22178026/microsoft-authe... Microsoft have launched a beta password manager ------------------------------- Lastpass (€3 per month) - Password Manager - 1GB of encrypted file storage ------------------------------- Office 365 (€6 per month) - Beta Password Manager - Office Suite - 1 TB Storage
A year from now: "I do not understand why the only companies that exist are Google, Apple and Microsoft? Where is the competition?"
