How is LastPass even still in business? I have technical colleagues who still use them, even after years of breaches.
I suppose momentum is much more important than I thought.
- mtillman 3y agoLastpass has been sketch for years but AOL was still making money thanks to those CDs and email addresses last I checked. My chase card also recommends lastpass in their app’s shopping section.
- jjoonathan 3y agoSpeaking of the Rise and Fall of password managers, Bitwarden has served me well for years but lately it has started to get reallly slow for my friends and I. Is there a newer cooler kid on the block?

- bboygravity 3y agoThere are large companies out there (example: Orbia) who explicitly recommend ONLY using LastPass as a password manager to their employees "for security".
- stubish 3y agoLastPass will remain dominant until someone else with similar functionality offers a free tier. 1Password is similar functionality, but you have to subscribe after 14 days and that drives alot of people away even if they can afford it. And so LastPass has most of the mind share, and thus most of the sales.
- sofixa 3y agoBitwarden has been offering similar features with a very generous free tier for years now.
