That's not an apt comparison.

Every security expert I've spoken to about password managers recommends against lastpass. Typically they recommend 1password, or passwordstore or sometimes even keepass.

The more apt comparison is a product with 100 2 star reviews vs one with 1000 4 star reviews.

1password has more recommendations by security engineers, and has been reviewed in significant depth.

Lastpass has been reviewed in depth, but is rarely recommended by the same engineers.



I like the idea that you are just walking around asking security engineers for password managers


That comment is not wrong.


1password has changed recently. Are security experts recommending their newer cloud subscription service or the older version that stored the vault on Dropbox or another storage service (or both)?


Thank you for that. Would any security engineers here who have successfully published vulnerabilities like to chime in? I would appreciate strongly informed advice.
