LastPass is the only commercial password manager I recommend. I really think you should avoid 1Password. I'm not going to go into details, sorry.

- tptacek 9y agoYou do much work in this field?
- parent5446 9y agoIt doesn't matter whether he does or not. He's using your own argument against you. Stepping in here and saying, "don't worry guys I'm the expert, so don't ask any questions", is just pompous and doesn't actually convince anybody. Use logic to support your claims, not your resume.
- tptacek 9y agoNo, sorry.
- mbrameld 9y agoAre you able to say why you aren't willing to go in to details? I respect your CV and am going to switch to 1Password from LastPass based on your comment, but I'm curious whether I need to be concerned about my information being compromised.
- tonyarkles 9y agoIt's funny. When I was the GP comment I thought "well that's not a very useful comment". Now that I've paid attention to who the author is... I'm getting concerned about LastPass :)
