Amazing that down detector manages to stay up during these kinds of outages. Noticed it has been a little slow but they really have done a good job keeping it up even though large portions of the internet is down right now.

Who detects if Down Detector is down? Is there a isdowndetectordown.com site?

It's parked by GoDaddy, but unfortunately their website is fubar by this outage if you try to click through to see how much they want for it :)

I wonder if this is why LastPass is down. It has completely locked me out of my vault. You'd think it'd continue to work offline in a case like this. :/

I switched to BitWarden and haven't looked back. You can use it on the phone and pc (browser). As well as a desktop client.

Yeah, my path was LastPass -> Bitwarden -> 1Password.

Both Bitwarden and 1Password are great.

I am surprised financial institutions don't have any regulation for redundancy. The one that stuck out to me is the Navy Federal Credit Union website being down. I have not had any issues logging into mobile though for some of the reported sites.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to regulate. But yeah. I've got a few short term trades in my brokerage account, and outages really throw a wrench into those.

Then what was the impetus to switch off of Bitwarden?

The way regulate is like anything else: if they fail to meet QoS uptimes, they get fined in 6-8 figures for every minute of loss.
