I think it is the exact opposite. They saw what Dashlane did with a few million bucks and some radio/TV ads and want to throw the same sort of gasoline on the fire. I expect they will have their own VPN, browser, credit monitoring, etc. tie in before they have real enterprise features.
They don't have FedRAMP, no HSM intergration, and it can't run in GovCloud. Not to mention it is super clunky to use compared to LastPass and others.
- RayVR 5y agoyour opinion that it's more clunky than lastpass is really interesting to me. It runs completely counter to 99.9% of comments I've seen on HN. Personally, I have no experience with lastpass. Just wanted to point out this anomaly.
- hn_throwaway_99 5y agoFWIW, I have set up many, many non-technical users on an enterprise 1Password account. To those who haven't used a password manager there is a really big learning curve and I've seen tons of struggling. I think a lot of it is the separate "vaults" concept can be easy to fuck up. I've had multiple instances where users have accidentally saved individual credentials in a shared vault because they didn't realize they weren't saving to their private vault. Perhaps it's just the enterprise use cases that can confuse people, I'm guessing if you're just using it as 1 person with a single private vault there are fewer issues.
- bfung 5y agoLastpass incidents are so (in)famous, it’s on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LastPass https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LastPass 2011 2015 2016 2017 2019 2021 Those are just the famous ones. After 2014, their plugins and UX were so bad, I switched my team(s) to 1Password and never looked back.
- RayVR 5y agoThis is the sentiment I've seen many times on HN.
- BoorishBears 5y agoChampioning Lastpass, which is a fundamentally broken product in so so many aspects, kind of brings the rest of your comment into question.
