LastPass Password Manager by LastPass

by Firefox user 13457905, 8 years agoWhat I ask of LastPass is SECURITY above all...I'm not technical enough to know for certain that LastPass is the most secure option available. I have to trust reviews from people in the crypto/hacker/coding community, etc. who can analyze the code and/or hack the "system" and find vulnerabilities. From the research that I've done LastPass is a good option...the best that I've found.
Usability: LastPass is frustrating!! It doesn't do anything very well. When creating a new account it's weak. In my experience, most of the time it doesn't even "see" that you're singing up for a new account, so I have decided to open the LastPass Vault, click on the + (plus symbol) and create the account step-by-step. Even doing this is somewhat frustrating: right-clicking in the password field to generate a password forces you to mouse to the bottom of that dialog, click Generate Password and then mouse down to select Generate Password and then select your options.
MANY times I relied on LastPass to know that I am signing up for a new account and have regretted it because it either doesn't see/know what I've input into any of the fields and/or I have to go back to the site and select "Forgot Password" or whatever because LastPass effed up! Makes you feel like an idiot.
After LastPass has the correct user name(s) and password(s) in its database it still doesn't work most of the time for me. For example, I open a site and the logon dialog appears. My wife has one account and I have another account. LastPass often won't even recognize the site (the same URL that is in its database including what's after the slash, e.g. https://www.xyz.com/login).
Often LastPass will post and indicate that it recognizes the page you've loaded. I guess, you're supposed to be able to click on the LastPass icon and the login options are supposed to post (e..g. my wife's credentials and my credentials) and then click on one and it will enter your credentials. Most of the time I have to open the LastPass Vault and copy and paste the information back onto the login page.
Trying to login to leave this review took four times, i.e. my wife's credentials posted and my credentials posted. I selected my credentials three times and LastPass never entered them. I opened the vault and copy and pasted my user name and password.
Conclusion: if LastPass is as secure as the reviews I've read it's worth the frustration. But it would sure be convenient if LastPass actually worked as advertised on my devices (x3).

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nate, 3 days agoCompletely freezes Firefox when trying to log into sites with a passkey. Time to switch to Bitwarden!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16634215, 4 days agoTrust is everything for a service like a password manager. Especially online. I used to trust LastPass. A lot. Years ago, their customer service was outstanding. At one point, I couldn’t pay my subscription, and a support rep gave me three months free so I could stay with them. That blew me away. I stuck with LastPass for years because of experiences like that.
But trust in your data matters even more. And here, LastPass has failed. Security breaches and data leaks have repeatedly eroded my confidence. Their communication about these incidents has been far from transparent. Sketchy, at best. That alone was a dealbreaker for me.
I started considering alternatives like Bitwarden or local password storage. Procrastination kept me from switching. Until now.
Now, LastPass wants extensive personal data: browsing history, website activity, location, financial info, and other identifying details. Really? None of this is necessary for the current functionality. The features already work perfectly without handing over my entire digital life. And there’s no explanation for why they need it.
This is the end of LastPass for me. For a password manager, data trust isn’t optional. It’s the core. I have none left. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19055811, 7 days agoMultiple data breatches, inconsistent form filling and now mass data collection? Thank you for reminding me switch to Bitwarden cause I really needed an excuse to finally uninstall
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19703803, 10 days agoI don't agree donating all my personal data with details and browsing activity, to any company to make them richer and me unsafer (remember the data leak?). So I just uninstalled it, there are plenty of password manager options.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19696306, 14 days agoHow is it that it breaks so many logins? For example any attempt to log in to Github just auto fills the verifier again and again and you can't log in for a long while!!!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Roguefoxx, 16 days agoYou don't need to collect all my data, and now you won't. I've been using LastPass for many years, but with your new data collection requirements I won't participate.
In Vault, go to Advanced Settings>>Export. Verify in Email. Log in. Import CSV in your new manager. I suggest Proton Pass. - Rated 1 out of 5by R1chard, 24 days agoWhy do you need all my data??? This is complete nonsense!!!! I'm a paying user, but when my subscription expires, I'll stop using your services. What happens if you get hacked? The answer is... sorry, we didn't expect that... complete bullshit. Delete all that nonsense and fast!!! People, never buy a LastPass account, go to KeePass, it's free!!! And even better!!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13492450, 25 days agoJust say no to invasive data gathering. Done with LastPass.
In Vault, go to Advanced Settings>>Export. Verify in Email. Log in. Import CSV in your new manager. I suggest Proton Pass. - Rated 1 out of 5by Kalter, a month agoWorked well for years, but the new data collection requirements are excessive and intrusive. If this doesn’t change in the near future, I’ll be switching to a different password manager.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Iyashu, a month agoThe new data collection permissions are incredibly intrusive. I will be moving to a different password manager.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12306447, a month agoThe new requirements for collecting massive amounts of data are inappropriate and unacceptable. I've been using it for years, but I had to uninstall the add-on.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Cal, a month agoLastpass has no excuse for all the data they want to collect now, plus they are notable for a massive security breach so why do they think we should trust them? 0/5
- Rated 1 out of 5by Levant2004, a month agoWorked great for me, then suddenly required a ton of intrusive data collection. I'm working on switching to a new password manager.
- Rated 1 out of 5by hax, a month agoThis addon is now requesting additional permissions and wants to collect my browsing and website activity, location, personally identifying information and financial and payment information. I'm done here and switching to an offline solution with KeePassXC.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13929008, a month agoAgree with a previous review. You're asking for additional data, but it worked fine for me without LP having those permissions. While I can cancel the prompt, it keeps coming back. It's time for me to stop using LastPass. Let me explain it to you again. It worked fine without the new permissions. You're asking for data that you do not need. You really need to know my location to fill a username/password? My financial and payment information? That's something I can provide, doesn't mean you should automatically get access to it. Browsing and website activity? I'm done. Should have stopped using LP after the data breach forcing me to update all my passwords. The best solution is to use something locally and there are enough options. Synchronizing this data to the cloud and trusting you guys with it was a huge mistake

- Rated 1 out of 5by PaganDegree, a month agoReally not happy with all this new required data collection. Why do you need my browsing activity and website activity. I think its time to look for a new password manager.
- Rated 1 out of 5by klapperkopp, a month agoCompletely broke my Passkeys support on MacOS, as already written by many others. It's more than 3 months without a fix. Just bad. I am a paying users since years but the extensions for all browsers and mobile apps have degraded over time and now I am looking into competitors. I would be long gone, if it wouldn't be such a hassle to migrate all passwords and notes including files.
