The big thing I'm missing most is LastPass. Without access to my passwords, I can see myself falling back to Chrome. In fact, I need to keep Chrome running so I can look up my login names and passwords there in order to copy them over to Bonsai when I'm being asked to log in. If you could support popular password managers inside your browser, that would help a lot!
- greenie_beans 5y agoyeah, good suggestion. i'm trying to use a password manager on my first try. can't figure out how to without leaving the app.
- itwy 5y agoYou should drop any software that prevents you from changing another unrelated software. In other words, move from LastPass to Bitwarden.
- dubcanada 5y agoOP is saying browser extensions don't work. Not that LastPass doesn't work with the browser.
- itwy 5y agoAnd I am saying Bitwarden is not tied to a web browser - it has a desktop client.
- sodality2 5y agoAs does LastPass
- itwy 5y agoNo, it does not.
- jaywalk 5y agoYes, it does: https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php?tab=mac https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php?tab=mac
- Vaslo 5y agoMac only though. Many of us don’t have or want Apple PCs.
- phist_mcgee 5y agoThis still refutes the previous poster's point though. Just because you don't use apple, does not mean that LastPass doesn't offer this service.
- itwy 5y agoIt doesn't.
- Closi 5y agoHow about this then? https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/lastpass-for-windows-desktop/9wzdncrfj3qk#activetab=pivot:overviewtab https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/lastpass-for-windows-deskt...
- itwy 5y agoIt's not official (not listed on their website).
- phist_mcgee 5y agoIt's created by Lastpas...?
- raunak 5y agoYou assume most people have the patience to copy paste passwords from Bitwarden rather than the ease of Lastpass - just doesn't work for 99% of the population.
- pps 5y agoEase of Lastpass is the same as ease of Bitwarden, both have extension for browsers :)
- legobmw99 5y agoAnd now we’re back to the original commenter pointing out that this new browser lacks such extensions
- pred_ 5y agoI don't know about Keywarden, but KeePass just uses a global hotkey that can be used to type in your password in a context-dependent fashion (figures out the relevant password from the page you're on). No browser integration required, yet no UX hit. (Edit: But I have no idea if its "figure out what page you're on" functionality would work with Bonsai.)
- JoshTriplett 5y agoA password manager integrated with a browser can offer more security, because it can verify the domain to prevent copy-pasting the password into a phishing site.

- hexo 5y agoBrowser without extensions is like bike without wheels. All those ads and javascripts...
- jedberg 5y agoHaving your password manager tied to your browser is more secure because the saved password doesn't show up unless you're in the correct domain, preventing phishing attacks.
- SixDouble5321 5y agoUsing a browser extension may erode the benefits by increasing your attack surface. Tavis Ormandy: https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html
- nephanth 5y agoPlus the password doesn't transit through the copy buffer, which is probably less secure
- SixDouble5321 5y agoYou can open your lastpass vault in a tab, and use the "bookmarks" in their interface to ensure you are visiting the expected websites. An authority on the topic suggests users avoid using browser extensions with their password managers: https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html
