Re:LastPass appears to be holding users' passwords hostage by tailspin2019 on Tuesday January 11, 2022 @02:12PM (#29896239)
I’ve used 1Password for around 8 years (maybe longer) and I believe them to be a pretty safe bet currently.

I wasn’t a huge fan of their move to a hosted model but I went with it and even so, I have to say that their service is good, reliable and instilling of confidence.

If I was starting from scratch I’d probably look more closely at Bitwarden (likely to use their hosted service but knowing I have the option later to self-host).

I would suggest that most people would likely be served well by either of these solutions at this point in time.

Same here. If I was starting from scratch, I'd consider Bitwarden, but 1Password has been so flawless for me over the decade and a half I've used it (off and on) that I can only lose by moving.

I've used 1PW since it's inception, happily moving whichever way they went. However, the latest iteration (electron?) is an absolute mess. I blinkin hate it! Shortcuts work, then they don't. Search rarely works. Multiple overlapping modals appear. Modals position themselves over the input boxes. It's really awful after the change. Sadly I didn't find this out until I had already paid for the monthly subscription or I would have dropped it like a hot potato. I'll stick it out for a few months more, but if things don't improve I'll be in the market for something (anything) better.
