A very comprehensive password manager review

Hello folks,

I recently got an email from someone at a web site called Consumer Advocate. They have a very nice article which is lenghty that deals with password managers.

I personally use Lastpass, and yes, I do know about the breaches they’ve potentially had, but I feel that they’ve been straight forward with the information they had and what they were able to share.

This article, published on the 17th of January of this year, covers a number of managers I’ve never heard of. Best Password Manager and it is definitely comprehensive.

I want people to check it out, knowing that each manager may not meet your individual needs. While I did get a new phone and I had trouble with Lastpass a little bit, it wasn’t because of my lack of my password, Lastpass didn’t know who I was when I had clear my firefox and it caused issues with the phone not knowing who I was. It was rectified, although the first email didn’t elicite the response I needed.

I did like the idea of phone support, and there is only one company in the list that does this. Maybe 2 if you count the paid version of Roboform which I’ve heard of, and my dad had used.

The guy’s name is Joey who sent this, and we thank him for posting an email to us about this helpful resource for people who might find it of interest.
He wanted me to add it to the post Here’s something to ponder: Should User Passwords Expire? Microsoft Ends its Policy I posted that article in June of 2019 and while I don’t go back and add things like this to that post, a new post would be more helpful. I’m linking back to that piece in this post because I think its still valuable in the discussion. What do you guys think?

Please let me know what you think of the article.

Password managers that are mentioned include:

• DASHLANE
• ROBOFORM
• STICKY PASSWORD
• PASSWORD BOSS
• SPLASHID KEY SAFE

BITWARDEN

None of these i’ve ever heard of except Roboform. Lastpass is mentioned, but one gentleman quoted in this comprehensive article says that if your password manager of choice has been breached, than its not trusted. Lastpass fixed the breaches quickly, and from what I remember and its mentioned in the article, that particular aspect should be recommended. However, the person quoted said they can’t trust them. GRC’s Steve Gibson can, because he’s had insight conversations with the founder of Lastpass who is also named Joe. I’d use whatever you find of value, but i’d read the article anyhow and give these a try. I’m not looking to change at this time, but maybe someone who isn’t using any manager will find this of value.
