What is it with LastPass and security breaches? I remember them having a major breach before, and wanted to say that to my view LastPass are saying “Remember that huge security breach we had? We’ve learned nothing from it.”
Only, when I went to Google to verify my recollection before posting, I found that their Wikipedia page has the following in the contents:
It doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in their product.
I used 1Password for years from when it was primarily a Mac application. I used it on Windows, too, but found it clunky and difficult to use. When I moved to 1Password 8, it immediately reminded me of how bad 1Password was on Windows to begin with. For me (and many others if their community forums and Reddit are anything to go by) it’s a real step backwards.
I tried BitWarden after I saw more and more techies and privacy folk singing its praises. It’s open source - you can examine the source code on GitHub and it’s simple to use. The interface isn’t as polished as 1Password but for me, at least, it just works.
You can also get it to work with just about any type of login if you know some HTML. One of the sites I use has a multi-step login over a couple of pages, including TOTP. I never could get 1Password to work with it, but BitWarden has no issues now that I’ve identified the field names and created custom field entries in BitWarden.
Has anyone who migrated from 1Password to Bitwarden migrated a 1Password Families account, or just individual accounts? How is a Families account migration accomplished?
Just FYI Bitwarden works with multiple devices and does so just as seamlessly as any other password manager. It also supports multiple vaults within an account. Of course use what works for you, but just a heads up that BW can do all the same things.
Had been meaning to do so for a while, but after yet another LastPass data breach, finally got around to migrating to BitWarden today. (Also didn’t like the idea of various trackers that LastPass uses)
BitWarden is also completely free, and seems to be as good as any other password manager.
For anyone familiar with BitWarden, do you know how I can set a default autofill login though? e.g. I have several Stripe accounts, how do I default it fill in the one I use the most, rather than the one that is first alphabetically? Sorry if this is a stupid question…
Bitwarden have now integrated with Fastmail to generate Fastmail masked email addresses. It’s not quite as smooth as the username generation in 1Password but it’s close enough and is the nail in the coffin for 1Password for me.
