Well, I'd love to use something other than Lastpass but there are no other password managers that are as well integrated into chrome and that sync seamlessly.

Keepass had tons of issues on the synch-side, merging incorrectly or just plain not syncing in addition to the android app being horrible to some extend. Additionally the chrome plugin is less well written, it's not bad but not as easy to access as lastpass.

1password is still not out on linux and I have no intention of using them until they bring out a linux client.

Bitwarden looks fishy to me (audit? pricing? funding? integration?).

If the only problem with Lastpass is that they sent out the URL of the site in cleartext over a HTTPS connection, fine, have it, there is clearly worse and it's something I'm willing to accept in exchange for one of the better password managers.



Have you seen enpass? It is basically a more polished version of Keepass. https://enpass.io


enpass certainly looks interesting, the UI looks atleast as polished as lastpass. I'll give it a short drive.

Thanks for sharing.


This is an issue that every password manager ever created would have if they requested information about what sites are being used.

Same information that your internet provider already has linked to your ISP and can be retired by a warrant or no warrant.


> the android app being horrible to some extend.

Really? Were you using KeePassDroid? I remember that being not so great. I think Keepass2Android is excellent.


I used the K2A app which frequently was unable to enter a password or lost sync of the master database in various ways.

The LP app has been much more pleasant.


>1password is still not out on linux and I have no intention of using them until they bring out a linux client.

Why? The client functions just fine under Wine and runs better than most of the native clients that already are on Linux.


I have no intention of installing the dependencies for wine, notably the lib32 stuff.

Secondly, if they treat Linux as second class I'll treat them second class.

Lastpass even has a cli client for Linux in addition to working on all the browsers, I see no reason why 1password is doing it even remotely better.


Right. Advocating for the use of Wine here is a sign of ignorance and inexperience. Someone probably sold them on Wine when they researched installing Ubuntu alongside Windows to get their toes wet.


I have no problem with Wine if it's about running applications outside a security context and are no longer being developed, most of the time I prefer to use a VM.

The problem is that using Wine tells the 1Password devs that they don't need to make a native Linux solution, that it's unnecessary since it already works.

But that is not what I want. I want a native Linux client since that reduces the number of packages on my system drastically.

Wine has also little ways to employ security measures for Linux, so if there is a problem concerning Linux and Security, 1Password cannot fix it.


Yes, exactly. I'm totally on board with what you're saying.


That is incredibly pretentious of you. It works just fine under Wine and, arguably, better than the native LastPass client on Linux.
