Changes to Last Pass
Got this email from the makers of Last Pass. I hope they don't screw this up since it's owned by Logmein. I do have Bitwarden installed also, but I haven't kept up with additions.

Re: Changes to Last Pass
Been using Sticky Password the past couple of years. One time license. I have it on three different computers in my home, and only let it sync between them locally.

Re: Changes to Last Pass
Is there a mobile option? I access info in my LastPass notes, that I need from time to time when I'm away from home.FlyingPenguin wrote:Been using Sticky Password the past couple of years.

Re: Changes to Last Pass
I believe so, but I don't use the mobile apps. It works for me, but to be honest it may not be the best option. I don't trust it (or anything) with things like bank and brokerage accounts - I never save those in anything but a secure encrypted text file and copy paste.
Been talking about other options with guys on Bluesnews recently, and they gave me these two open source recommendations:
Bitwarden
https://bitwarden.com/
Password Safe. This was designed by Bruce Schneier, who has some serious security cred, and probably what I'd look at for myself if I was going to switch.

Funny this discussion has come up again. Last year LastPass was discussed and I mentioned how things would get worse with them since they were bought out. I recommended Bitwarden. I've been using now for several years and actually pay for it.
So if anyone is thinking of getting away from LastPass, Bitwarden is a great choice.
Re: Changes to Last Pass
Gonna have to look into this now and export my LastPass info over.

Re: Changes to Last Pass
I'm good for now since I only use LP on my pc's and not on my phone; however, if they screw with it any more, I'll have to switch.
Re: Changes to Last Pass
I have to track so many passwords and secure info. Having to manage that all on just a phone is a pain in the ass. I love being able to work with my data in a desktop browser and then having it all available on my phone.Executioner wrote:I'm good for now since I only use LP on my pc's and not on my phone; however, if they screw with it any more, I'll have to switch.
It's the same reason I bought an app named Paprika to store all my recipes. They have a windows app that I can use to add/edit all my recipes, but then in the kitchen I access them on a tablet.

Re: Changes to Last Pass
Here's the back story on the changes to LastPass. LogMeIn, who owned LastPass, was bought by (wait for it) a private equity company. Frankly, given the private equity company's reputation, I wouldn't trust LastPass anymore.

Re: Changes to Last Pass
So when it comes to bitwarden, are they just like LastPass where your only option is to save it on their servers?

Re: Changes to Last Pass
Not sure. I'd have to research.
If you want it totally in your own control I'd recommend Sticky Password, which is what I'm using, and turn off cloud sync. However the only way it syncs without cloud is over your LAN.

Re: Changes to Last Pass
No, you can either store it in the "cloud", they use Microsoft Azure. Or you can host Bitwarden locally on your own network. Keep in mind, their software is open source and audited by a 3rd party.Losbot wrote:So when it comes to bitwarden, are they just like LastPass where your only option is to save it on their servers?

Re: Changes to Last Pass
I'm going to be deleting LP. Already removed it from my phone. I had to "stop" the program before I got the uninstall option. I'm currently using BW on my desktop and laptop.
