From their blog update it is not clear if I use Lastpass.com on a safari browser on my iPhone will it detect Mobile device type or Computer? Basically, if I don't want to pay Premium can I still access LP on my computer and my iPhone (using browser)? Does anyone know?

Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#232LastPass was my first ever password manager and I used for it ~5 years. A few years ago, I got fed up with how sluggish it was (at least, at the time). So I switched over the Bitwarden. Unfortunately, the Bitwarden Safari extension for macOS had a bug where I had unlock my vault every time I wanted to use a credential and that got annoying. Around the same time I started using Bitwarden, I started at a job with a cor…
I was going to reply "the problem with 1password is they have no Linux support," but it looks like Linux support actually got added late last year! (Or at least there's an open beta.) https://blog.1password.com/1password-for-linux-beta-is-now-o...
Anyone used both 1password and Bitwarden? I'm using Bitwarden right now, but I dislike the fact that their desktop app is Electron based.
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#233LastPass is trash software. We use it at my company and it’s universally hated. Full of bugs, terrible ui and bloated extensions that slow web pages. I wouldn’t voluntarily use it even if it were totally free.
Nowadays there are so many better options for less money. I say this as a satisfied 1Password user but I’ve heard good things about many other products.

Keepass is another cross-platform option (open source), though the UI on non-windows environments is a bit... crap.
Nontheless, it works, and it works well.

#235This is a feature not a productTM.
I switched to using safari’s password sync across mobile and desktop. It only works on iPhones and macOS desktop safari, but I adjusted my workflow.
It’s both free, and reliable as long as Apple supports it. But I trust Apple to exist or migrate better than a dedicated product company like lastpass. Both for a decent user workflow and for not being breached (much scarier to me).
I know that companies learn from security incidents and that we should reward, not punish companies for being transparent in their responses. But lastpass [0] has had issues with breaches and potential breaches and I’m nervous about storing bank passwords and whatnot with third parties.
I used to recommend lastpass because it was easier to use and better than others. But now, for people who don’t know how computers work, I just recommend to buy an iPad or iPhone and use their password managers.
I think it’s going to be tough, even if free, to compete with this.
Doing stuff like making users choose between desktop and mobile, completely arbitrary with no real engineering driver, will just move more users away, I think.

Yeah, the lack of a good Mac client made Keepass untenable for me. I tried several and they all sucked.
A password manager is the one thing which I really need to work well everywhere, because I need access to my passwords everywhere.

#237LastPass 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".
It's ridiculously overpriced for what essentially amounts to storing a tiny binary blob on a server somewhere and making sure it's backed up. I would've been happy to continue paying 12 USD / year for that service, but at triple the cost? I'm now on BitWarden.
I used to use LastPass, but its UI was incredibly buggy on Firefox and there were no signs of improvement, so I switched Bitwarden.
That said, you're not really paying for the storage, you're paying for the apps and plugins.

#238MacOS / IOS users have all this for free seamlessly :)
Can you export the data from keychain? I am a macos/ios user, but at one point i will probably move to something new or better. That's why im using lastpass (considering 1password or bitwarden now).
Yes, 1Password will help you export Keychain.

For what it's worth KeePassXC these days is very good useability wise and has some awesome features in it

I've been using macpass for a while on osx, and it works pretty well (and looks better than keepassxc): https://macpassapp.org/
