hey! nice to see you and everyone again too.

what happened with last pass?? I can get a free account through work, but sounds like I may not want to...

The worst of it is they managed to get breached and had everybody's password vaults stolen. This isn't quite code black, as it is encrypted, but you never know if perhaps in 10 years time computers will be fast enough to break into vaults, even the ones with strong passwords. And changing hundreds of accounts is a pain in the arse

I stopped using them a bit before that though, back when they started limiting you to a max of 1 device type on the free tier, so you could only use it on either your phone or computer.

Either of them are ultimately going to be better than just writing down your passwords (susceptible to floods/fires/etc) or using the in built google password manager (or probably apples either). Although if you ever leave your job, or you get stingey management, or whatever, you would probably lose access to your premium LastPass account, so then you have to choose between your phone or computer unless you pick up the coat yourself. It is really easy to move to other managers though, you just have to go to settings and export your passwords then import with bitwarden or whatever

Wow I really waffled. TL;DR is that they got breached and leaked everybody's password vaults (but not their actual passwords), and also put in some profit increasing strategies a few years ago
