How come? Seems to work pretty well for me. Better than LastPass/Dashlane worked for me in the past.

On firefox, their browser extension is excellent for me; what issues do you have?

  Not him, but: * Android app logs itself out every time I use it. * Lacked versioning of passwords (last time I checked). * The workflow to add new passwords / reset passwords on websites is clunky. This hasnt improved for years.

    Agreed on the third point. But the first two have been fixed for quite some time now.

    1) Never experienced that 2) The older versions are available online if you click on the number to the right of "Password History" 3) Agree, that can use some polish

  I use FF too. Common problems are: 1a/ If I am trying to transfer money between two banks, a Plaid iframe pops up requesting the credentials of another bank's website. Since the bank's credentials are typically configured on another domain, you need to search for it, copy the username, paste the username, then re-search, copy the password, paste the password. I wish the drop down had more 'memory'. 1b/ Similar problem of needing to re-search to get the password if I am trying to copy and paste username and password for a desktop app where it doesn't auto-detect a domain. 2/ When registering on a new website, its 3 clicks to generate a new password for the form. Why can't there just be an auto-fill with a fresh unique password like iOS offers? If the website rejects the password (for being too long or invalid characters), its 4 clicks to create a new one.

    1a: I don't use plaid, but I suspect that adding the plaid domain to valid domains for your bank's passwords might work. I consider any time I need to copy/paste to be a big issue because it significantly increases the chances of successful phishing. 1b: yes desktop app seems like an afterthought 2: This is annoying and should be fixed. I didn't think of it because I so rarely register for new websites.
