Dashlane's ads made it seem like copycat shovelware.I'm getting tired of making secure passwords and keeping them in a small notepad, so I've been considering Dashlane and Lastpass which seem to be the most highly rated. I was leaning toward Dashlane and this incident (the second for lastpass) will probably solidify my decision.
Even the paid version?Dashlane's ads made it seem like copycat shovelware.
I dunno. While visiting my mother I saw ads on Fox News. It seemed like those ones where they advertise "mylife dot com" to elderly people who might not know about Facebook or whatever.Even the paid version?
Use Keepass and be done with it dude.
I don't have a problem with lastpass, I have a problem with anything that automatically fills in my user/pass. I have this disabled. So if you can spoof the URL and fish me, that's my fault not the fault of my password manager.
I use Keepass variants because they're libre software, and on every platform I expect to be on. I keep my database backed up on mega/spideroak, and I can boot to a live cd on a foreign machine, access my passwords, then leave without a trace.Thanks bono, that's a good observation.
What I'd like to see is some detailed responses why people support what they do.
I preferred SiC for these reasons:
- doesn't get stored on their side
- 256 bit encryption
- Even if you mobile device isn't encrypted, the DB on the phone still is encrypted
- ease of use, $5 to sync from desktop to cloud to mobile
- can use quite a few different cloud sync solutions (i am storing my DB on google drive)
I'm just using their free tier(2gb iirc), and it works well. It's never been unavailable when I needed it. Sensitive files I gpg encrypt before upload.Cool, thanks. How do you like spideroak? Been looking at that for a while..
Pen/Paper is safer. Only a handful of people are likely to have potential access with it, in comparison to millions.
