Getting some DUAL_EC prng vibes. Insert Kaspersky owned by Russia intelligence conspiracy here...

Just to remind you all why it's not a coincidence and also not an argument for conspiracy.

The only organizations in the USSR who were hunting for best talent were KGB and military. So when the first businesses emerged and started hunting, almost all talent came from there.

I use Bitwarden and it's open source. Switched over from LastPass and haven't regretted it since

I looked into Bitwarden for work, but there's no password reset option for admins. I don't know how many times people have forgotten their password manager's password and I've had to reset it. Without that feature, Bitwarden is a non-starter for a corporate environment.

What did you find was better about Bitwarden?

Not GP, but LastPass's weird restrictions on devices, for one.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Bitwarden has the best UI/UX of any password manager I have used, by far. In particular it puts LastPass (which I switched from) to shame. I rarely use the premium features, but I pay for premium anyway to support the project. Costs a dollar a month, so barely noticeable.

it can be a bit club-footed on the mobile platform. but yeah its my password manager of choice as well.

Are you on Android or iOS? The iOS app is really well done IMO.

Factually incorrect: only a small minority of talented people went working for KGB. It had many perks but wasn't a place where a serious talent would thrive.
