That's why I just use my own KeePass database synced over Dropbox. Zero issues, it's free and nobody is targeting it. Even if someone got access to my Dropbox they'd still have to crack the encryption.
KeePass + Syncthing
Avoid cloud services all together.
gnupass + git repos works great.
Yup. Been using it for years. It's fantastic.
Same setup. Works great.
Why is anyone using LastPass anymore...?
Convenience and platform inertia. Same with most shitty cloud services.
Yet more reasons why people should stop using LastPass... I finally switched to Bitwarden after getting tired of having to choose between using it on mobile or desktop. Got out before the hack. I'm going to work on transferring my data again to a self hosted Bitwarden
You’d think lastpass users would have learned after data breaches and general shittyness of the company to go else where.
I heard about the data breach, but not about the shittyness. What happened?
They’re owned and apart of Logmein whose parent is simply focused on $$$ , logmein used to have a free tier and be very affordable in ~2011 ish and for many years was awesome… until it was purchased but a private equity firm I think it was and it all went to shit.
LastPass is just producing bad news after bad news. Incredible how incompetent these guys are.
Glad I got out when I did. Wish I could convince my employer to do the same.
LastPass has a section on their Wikipedia entry with eight subsections titled Security Incidents. That alone should give anyone who's thinking about trusting them with some of their most important information pause.
