- arsana 7y agoLogMeIn is remote access software. The LogMeIn refers to a local machine,not a website.
- Operyl 7y agoLogMeIn owns LastPass.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI believe GP is referencing the fact that LogMeIn also owns Lastpass. Edit: Looks like a million and one other people replied at the exact same time I did, sorry. :3
- jetpks 7y agoLogMeIn owns LastPass
- filmgirlcw 7y agoThe company owns LastPass, so it’s several things, actually.
- Kudos 7y agoLogMeIn owns LastPass.

- lifty 7y agoSorry, I should have been more clear and mention the LastPass relation.
- urbanjunkie 7y agoIn case no one mentions it, LastPass is owned by LogMeIn
- briffle 7y agoI self hosted with bitwarden_rs a slimmed down version of the API server that runs fast. I found some tutorials online there are lots) and host it on a very small cloud instance. (google cloud f1-micro) All in all, it took me an hour of time, and 13 dollars to buy a domain since I didn't already have one. Now I need to permanently move my wife off of lastpass to bitwarden, so I can see how the shared folders work, etc.
- Nextgrid 7y ago1Password is also very good, and has native apps compared to Bitwarden's Electron-based ones.
- _def 7y agoUnfortunately 1password is the only one that doesn't give me headaches while using it cross-platform. I wish I could use an open alternative with an equal UX.
- AGKyle 7y agoHeads up: I work for 1Password Any reason why you'd say unfortunately there? I see it as a pretty big perk rather than an unfortunately. But I would also like to understand a bit more so I can pass along any necessary feedback to our team. Thanks! Kyle 1Password Security Team
- shantly 7y agoSafe to say it's: 1) It's generally preferable that open-source solutions be as capable & usable as closed-source ones, and 2) having the best option be a subscription service is very, very "ugh", as has been constantly complained about here and elsewhere.
- AGKyle 7y agoRe: 1. Got it. Re: 2. It's not just subscription. Download the app (Mac or Windows) and in the options choose to create a new local vault. You'll be presented with a dialog to buy a license if you don't already have one. I get the complaints about subscriptions, but there are certainly pieces of software I am willing to pay a subscription for. One that is actively improved, secured, and is used throughout my day is one of them. Your opinion on this may be different of course. I really appreciate the input though. Thank you!

- gravitas 7y agoI'm a +1 on BitWarden, I moved over pretty early on (paid account is only $10/yr) due to their fantastic migration page telling me point blank "LastPass may screw up special characters exporting your data" and lo and behold, my initial export had a bunch of HTML entities injected just like they said. That disclosure/warning sold me right then and there: https://help.bitwarden.com/article/import-from-lastpass/ https://help.bitwarden.com/article/import-from-lastpass/
- csmattryder 7y agoI have a few access keys in my LastPass account that contain quotation marks as part of the secret. Their web interface won't present the textarea field for me to copy the key for use. I'd have to resort to the export options to get the plaintext and Ctrl+F for the key. They're AWS keys, so LogMeIn's own staff should've had the same gripes I have, but it's just not fixed yet. I'm going to take a look at BitWarden and see if I can move over as a winter break task.
- jbarberu 7y ago"I'm going to take a look at BitWarden and see if I can move over as a winter break task." I did it in 20 minutes this morning, would highly recommend!
- aguyfromnb 7y ago>moved over pretty early on (paid account is only $10/yr) LastPass started as $1/month, which I thought was a great deal. I started using it in 2011, and never really paid attention to the fee. Then, it got bought by LogMeIn, and in 2017 they upped the price to $2/month. Last year they upped it to $3/month ($39..that's when I noticed the charge). That's right: for 6 years it was one price, which tripled in 2 years without any enhancements as far as I could tell. Needless to say, this will be my last year with their product. I'm using KeePass2 locally on my devices, and it seems to do what I need.
- Avamander 7y agoIf anything the price increase came with an enormously slower plugin. I switched because it just pissed me off.
- spinchange 7y agoThank you for confirming this. I thought LastPass was a LogMeIn entity but it's not mentioned anywhere in the press release.
- generalpass 7y agoIt's on the products page. https://www.logmeininc.com/products https://www.logmeininc.com/products

- tarosnow 7y agoIt is. I’ve migrated from LastPass a few months ago. The only thing missing is being able to cycle between multiple accounts when auto-filling forms via keyboard shortcut. It’s capable of Custom fields too!
- stmw 7y agoAnother alternative is Abine Blur, which is privacy-centric and has some other features.
- jedberg 7y agoDoes BitWarden do auto-fill on iOS?
- giarc 7y agoNo, but with some settings adjustments you can use it as your password manager and it becomes accessible from the keyboard.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but this is the same for Lastpass on IOS. At least if LP does auto fill it’s never worked for me. The keyboard shortcut to paste a password is better than autofill imo.
- Youden 7y agoIt does auto filling of username and password but as far as I'm aware, nothing but iOS itself can fill form fields like name and address.
- stevenjohns 7y agoInsofar that it works the same as any other third-party password manager on iOS, yes.
