#312If I'm going to pay for a password manager I'm going to pay for 1Password.
That's where I'm at right now, as a long time free user of LastPass. I've never been particularly happy with it, but it basically works and it didn't cost anything.
Now I get to evaluate the whole range of options available, and I doubt LastPass will come out on top.
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#313LastPass 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 also changed from LastPass to Bitwarden to to LastPass being noticeably slow. I don't mean to diminish the probably very hard work put into a product with a decent free tier, but it was sluggish enough it only made sense to try an alternative.

#314The title is slightly off. The limit is to a single device type, not device. If you only use LastPass on 2 devices of the same type (on your desktop and your laptop or if you only use it on your Mobile and your Tablet) you will be fine to stay on Free, However if you use it on your Desktop and your Mobile (like me) you will need to swap password managers or pay up for the service. Before LogMeIn brought them the serv…
The whole distinction between mobile and computer is such a frustratingly artificial concept, a concept that has been imposed for monetization and control.

#315This is going to backfire for LastPass I think. It has stayed stagnant for years and performance has slowly degraded despite my devices getting much faster.
When it was free it was easy to stick with it despite its flaws because of momentum.
But now that I'm being forced to pay I'm going to do some cross-shopping and I really doubt LP is going to come out on top.
I'm totally willing to pay, but my expectations are higher as a paying customer.

All password managers have issues but as a user of 1Password I have a lot of gripes with the product: - Fails to fill out passwords around 2% of the time (Firefox account for example) - Sometimes I mash the "CMD+/" shortcut and nothing happens. It's very unstable. - Password generator is rigid. I have to edit the generated password about 90% of the time to add capital letters, numbers etc. I made a comment a while ba…
Re the generator, there's the passwordrules proposal: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3518 Some systems are already using it -- e.g. I know that Apple's generate-password helper reads it, and I believe that 1Password also does.
This is exactly what I was thinking. I knew the idea was too good to be mine.

We’ve been using LastPass without real issues of any variety (inc speed) on: Mac, iOS, windows 10. Sharing feature working well.

Two main bugs I experience with Lastpass are (1) duplicate entries when things sync up and (2) quick search doesn't enable the copy user / password buttons many times. Annoying workaround is clear the search, and re-search again, that usually brings back the buttons.
Yes! 2 drives me nuts. I switched from BitWarden to LastPass mainly because of the quick search. And having to clear the field and retype is one of those minor bugs that is slowly driving me insane because I hit it 15 times day.

Keepass is not a Web first app. There are extensions and workarounds but considering the nature of its file based database it can never be as smooth as solutions like bitwarden and others. At work we share a Keepass file on a nextcloud instance and it's a giant PITA.
::Personal Opinion Warning:: When it comes to security, smoothness is kinda low on my priority list. I'm fine swapping windows to copy/paste values, or pressing a hotkey.
Lack of smoothness is what causes many people to ignore these things. So, while you or I may know better, its still a very important aspect if we want more than just the few in the know people to use security tools.

It works great on iOS. Full integration as you would expect, pops up at the top of the keyboard for app & website autofills. FaceID is also implemented to authenticate before opening your vault. edit: One note about something that was bugging me for a while...items created on my computer sometimes wouldn't show up in the vault for immediate use. Painful when you sign up for a service using your computer and then try…
I think with any install of BitWarden, be it a browser add-in or separate app, the one you are adding a new credential into knows enough to sync to the cloud, but the others won’t know that new data awaits in the cloud until they do a scheduled query/poll or you manually sync through those clients. Having a push feature only works if you can engineer your app or add-in to open up the necessary ports or tunnels in the…
> just checked BitWarden v2.8.0 (449) on iOS 14.4, no setting for “swipe to refresh” anywhere in its settings
Settings -> Manage -> Sync -> Enable sync on refresh
