All the hate towards LastPass... but man, there are so many great tools with LastPass that the other services simply don't have yet. Given I haven't looked into it in a year or so... but the Dead Man's Switch alone makes it worthwhile for me. My lawyer has this, and 30 days after I kick it he can go in and delete all my accounts. Sharing passwords with a team, it's really helpful. Being able to share access, but not the password itself... really nice feature. The password audit, showing me how old my passwords are, or which ones are weak... it's nice to have a sanity check on all this stuff. Anyway, been on LastPass for a decade or so... tried a few others, always find myself back with LastPass since the others don't quite have all the features I want.

Not allowing the end user to reveal passwords it isn't an ideal solution. The password can easily be obtained by anyone who is capable of using the browser's developer tools. Simply inspect the input element after it has been filled and the browser will give the secret away. The only way to be sure someone doesn't have access to an account after you've shared credentials with them (even "hidden" credentials) is to change the credentials for that account. > The password audit, showing me how old my passwords are, or which ones are weak... it's nice to have a sanity check on all this stuff. 1Password also offers these sorts of checks. > Given I haven't looked into it in a year or so... but the Dead Man's Switch alone makes it worthwhile for me. My lawyer has this, and 30 days after I kick it he can go in and delete all my accounts. This, admittedly, we haven't found a good secure way to implement yet. Our current recommendation is to share your Emergency Kit with your lawyer, or whoever needs access, perhaps in a sealed envelope marked to only be opened upon your death. Full disclosure: I work for 1Password.

  Thanks, saved me having to look at things myself. You'd know, is there a tool that would let me migrate all my passwords from LastPass to 1Password? I think I have like 3k passwords and the thought of manually building that DB up again is daunting.
