So glad I switched to 1Password, haven't had an issue since. They provide an easy transfer of your passwords from LastPass, you can just follow their guide and be done in 5 minutes: https://support.1password.com/import-lastpass/ https://support.1password.com/import-lastpass/

Same. I switched after their thanksgiving 2018 outage and haven't looked back. Just about everything about 1Password is better than LastPass.

Same. I switched to 1Password a few years back after one of the lastpass security issues. I’ve been incredibly happy with the service and quality of software.

I tried that once but ran into so many errors for passwords that contained characters like ", or ;" that I gave up. Is there a way around this other then copying every entry manually?
- selectodude 7y ago
  You can edit the password recipe for websites that suck and don't allow certain characters.
- ReidZB 7y ago
  I did the same switch like 5 years ago, and I remember having to `sed` (i.e. global find + replace) the LastPass output .csv to fix special characters before importing it into 1Password. Sadly I don't remember any more detail than that, but yes, there may be some manual massaging required. YMMV.
- frayesto 7y ago
  Yes, the lastpass exporter has an issue. You can do a search and replace. Or you can do what I did and when I reach a site that had an issue, I would just look at the password and there would be an obvious parsing error, e.g "&" is instead "amp&" and would just modify it manually. Only happened a few times and then all is good. https://github.com/bitwarden/help/blob/master/_articles/importing/import-from-lastpass.md https://github.com/bitwarden/help/blob/master/_articles/impo...

1Password is excellent, been using them for years, but don't be surprised if they take a dip in quality in the coming years: a PEG invested a large amount of money in them late last year. Was really upset when I saw that.

  Which password manager would you say has the brightest future, for someone looking to start using one with no prior experience besides Chrome account sync?
  - benhurmarcel 7y ago
    Honestly it doesn't matter that much, it's fairly easy to change. 1password is nice for the polish especially on Mac; Bitwarden is nice to use, open-source, and the free plan is sufficient for most; and KeepassXC is a stable offline solution (that you can sync yourself).

I was a longtime LastPass customer, but the service just kept getting worse and worse, to the point where a year ago I realized I was spending more time fighting the user interface than it was saving me. And their support was absolutely useless. So I also switched over to 1Password, and never looked back. It is such a refreshing and trouble free experience compared to LP, and the few times I needed to ask a question, their support team got right back to me with the correct answer the first time.
- 0xff00ffee 7y ago
  When you say, "Service kept getting worse and worse..." it means you contacted them multiple times. Yikes! I've been using LastPass for 8 years and I've never needed any support, but I only pay for a personal version, not corporate. I realize that's an anecdote, but what kinds of problems are people having?
- dawnerd 7y ago
  I still use it but their support gets super defensive if you have any criticism about it. Their "new" 1pass X still sucks and recently has been going backwards in terms of usability. They keep promising feature parity between windows/mac too but this new browser plugin seems to be their fallback excuse. If I wasn't so heavily invested in it I'd switch in a heartbeat. I need something that works across ios/mac/windows and ideally without copying passwords to clipboard, that's pretty insecure.
  - AGKyle 7y ago
    Hi, I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password. I can't comment on the defensive part, but text can often be harder to parse in conversation so perhaps it was that? I generally find our support team to be pretty understanding but I am sorry if our support team didn't properly handle your concerns and feedback. Feature parity is a tricky one. The Mac (and since it's shared code in a lot of ways, the iOS app) have been around a lot longer. Dating back to just a bit after I started here 8 years ago we started work on 1Password 4 for Mac and iOS. The Windows app was rebooted completely a few years back and has been playing catch up since. Feature parity is the ideal, but it isn't something that is going to happen overnight and we're still trying to do a variety of things to make that happen. But without slowing down our Mac team the Windows app will never really reach feature parity. With that in mind I know our Windows team really wants to try to be a lot closer and they're working hard to do it, but we're all sorry it hasn't moved faster than we'd all like. If you have specific feedback feel free to write into our support and mention me (Kyle) and that your support request be answered by me. Please include a link to this thread just for reference and I'll make sure to look into all of your comments and concerns. Again, very sorry we haven't met your expectations. Know that our expectations haven't been met either and that we're working hard to try to give everyone what they want on our Windows application. Kyle 1Password Security Team

Bitwarden is also very good

- xeonoex 7y ago
  Also switch to Bitwarden. Never had any issues. Open source and free.
- deadbunny 7y ago
  LP to Bitwarden as well here. The only issue I've found so far is MFA doesn't seem to be working on the (Linux) Firefox plugin, this could be a user error issue as I've not had time to look into it yet (only noticed it this morning).
  - favadi 7y ago
    MFA is working fine for me with Firefox on both Ubuntu and Fedora.
    - deadbunny 7y ago
      Just had a quick dig it appears that it will ask for MFA when logging in for the first time or if you log out and then back in but not when just unlocking the vault which is a little disappointing but not the end of the world.
- ajb 7y ago
  Looks good, except I'm surprised by 'pay more to a third company to use MFA' in the enterprise offering. I'd expect MFA to be part of the enterprise offering and not require me to trust another company.

  Same here. very happy paying for customer as well
