LastPass is a standout candidate for worst password manager, as has been the case for many years. The other popular password managers, like 1Password and Bitwarden, are certainly not perfect but they're leagues ahead of LastPass.
1Password, for example, has written extensively about their security model and have done so proactively, including a lengthy whitepaper: https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-paper.pdf https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p...
LastPass is garbage because it's LastPass, not because it's a password manager. The only thing LastPass has ever done well is somehow remain relevant despite being terrible: that's an achievement.
- softskunk 4y agoi’d just like to say thank you for linking to that white paper. really a fascinating read, and nicely written. i’m a long-time 1password user and absolutely love it. sure, it involves placing some degree of trust with AgileBits, but for the incredible level of practicality it offers, i view it as a decent trade-off. reading that paper now also makes me a great deal more confident in their security standards.
