Changes to LastPass Free

I have kept my PC version of database as master. All of my tablets mobiles access it in read only basis. This is to avoid the sync conflicts.

LogMeIn had (and probably still has) a reputation of putting existing features behind a paywall. I have no problem paying for a service if I like it, I was a paid subscriber before LogMeIn and for a year or two after the purchase. Slowly, prices started to rise, features for free users were being put behind a paywall. After many years of recommending LastPass to family and friends, I just couldn't anymore.

A few years ago I switched to Bitwarden after evaluating everything from 1Password, Dashlane, Keeper as well as free/open source applications like Keypass and Password Safe.

Why Bitwarden? It satisfied my need to be able to sync between a handful of devices (Windows desktop/laptop & Android) and replicated features that were previously available in LastPass. In the last three years that I have been a paid subscriber of Bitwarden, the price has not gone up (yet).

It's probably tough to find a thorough review where someone put basically all their passwords in different password management tools and lived with them for long enough to compare them. Then again, people have undertaken more arduous tasks before.

For a while, I had the horrible practice of using the same username and very simple password everywhere. Eventually my "one true password" became slightly more complex, but I still had some bad habits. I eventually started letting Chrome save all my passwords except for, of course, my Google one.

I switched to LastPass (free) for a while. (My memory of this is a bit fuzzy.) At some point I wanted to switch to something less, eh... corporate? So I got BitWarden. I really like the password generator, and use it exclusively now. (There was a web site I used to use for this, but of course this is much more convenient.)

It was a bit rocky in the earlier days. Integration with the browser on Android could sometimes be a little shaky. It's still not perfect, but I don't have good comparisons there. I use Firefox on Android, Windows and Linux. It works really well on the desktop and mostly really well on Android, though with the browser it's unreliable if you rely on the Android app, so I install the Firefox Add-On for BitWarden, and that works reliably.

My spouse set up her own account, and we share some of our important passwords via a free organization. This is a great feature and gives us both some peace of mind if we were ever required to get into each other's accounts. We also paid the $10/year so she could see reports on her passwords, and get rid of breached, insecure and duplicate passwords. She has adapted readily to using the password manager though she mostly just uses it on the computer, not on the phone.

Overall we are very happy with it and I believe it's an excellent option. I cannot, however, compare it to 1Password.

I'm a happy `pass` user and I'm glad I found your work!, My only complaint with `pass` was how slow it is, and `prs` is pretty fast and completely compatible with `pass` plus some extra useful additions which is great!, I hope that the `otp` subcommand support is on your road-map. Cheers!

Goodbye Private Equity raiders, we're out!

I've also been waiting for an excuse to migrate off LastPass. Their 'shared' functionality on both personal and corporate accounts is a joke. Passwords consistently do not update when shared with other paid plan members.

We also pay for corporate support. I would say the average response time is about 48-72 hours. We've been talking about replacing them.

LastPass has been at the top of our axe list for SaaS tools.
