Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#72The same thing will happen here as when Dropbox limited free accounts to three devices: all of us who've spent years evangelizing the service to our friends and family are going to get a bunch of pissed-off phone calls. They're not going to understand or care why, they're just going to be mad that it worked yesterday and doesn't work today.
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#73Price aside, last I checked LastPass was terrible software compared to 1Password. I had all kinds of syncing problems with the browser extension. And LastPass had a huge breach in the past, which its competitors didn’t. I don’t trust that it’s quality software - especially because it doesn’t “look and feel” like quality software. Plus, they’re owned by LogMeIn, which is basically a crappy software conglomerate that i…
Not sure why people are downvoting you - sunk cost fallacy maybe.
LastPass was a mess, and I was a very happy new 1Password customer. LastPass customer service is some of the worst I ever experienced.
The mobile 1Password experience is excellent as well.

#74I very happily pay $10/year for Bitwarden. It is in my opinion superior to Lastpass, and I don't have the doubts of the corporate governance.
I did the same switch too a while back, Bitwarden has been really solid.
Interesting thing: I just now remembered to delete my LastPass account, but the delete account flow breaks totally. Just end up in a modal without any content in it, both Firefox and Chrome.
I'm wondering if they are even deliberately blocking deleting accounts for damage mitigation?

#75LastPass 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.

#76Recently switched to 1Password from LastPass and I love it.
The autofill is much better.

#77Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've performed the switch as well, however, a couple of things to consider about Bitwarden: - field detection is much poorer in Bitwarden (ie. it will fill both signup and login fields in some websites... including HN) - Bitwarden timeout doesn't survive browser restarts (at least, this was the last time I've tried it), making it difficult to use for people with a complex password and frequent browser closing/opening
re: field detection How does it do with sites that insist on using a 'password' type field for both username and password? This is my biggest pet peeve on the internet today!
It handles fidelity fine, and they do a sort of masked password field for the username where you only see the last 3 characters.
Firefox on the other hand used to want to save my username as ****ABC

#78Surprised that nobody here mentions Enpass. Its mobile app is paid, sure, but it's a one-time cost and it's using an AES-256 encrypted local sqlite3 DB that can be synchronized with several popular cloud storage options: Dropbox, OneDrive and any WebDAV server. So you have your credentials vault with you everywhere.
Very happy user for years. No subscriptions, desktop app is free, you just pay for your iOS / Android app once. That's it. Never had a problem with it and you can also tie it to your TouchID / FaceID, too.
Re: Changes to LastPass Free
#79The 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…
FYI Bitwarden is only $10 a year. Before Bitwarden I used a combination of Keepass and Google Drive to sync all my passwords between devices. That was a workable solution, but Bitwarden is certainly easier, and I think more polished too.
To me, the unbeatable feature of Keepass is the fact that I'm not limited to user/password combination. I use it to store important notes and even files.

I agree with other comments that in the current market, Lastpass is not worth it at $36/y. The way they increased the price is arguably more annoying than the price tag.
I happily paid for Lastpass at $12/y. Logmein raised price and I switched to free. Logmein limited free capabilities and I will switch to Bitwarden or 1Password and pay them. I'm not staying with Lastpass to get the rug pulled out under me the third time.
