[@teresapatterson8198]

Great detailed comparisons; truly appreciated. You helped me in making my best-informed decision.

[@calebmcnalley]

LastPass just announced that they're changing their free plan on March 16 to only allow one device type (either computer or mobile) so this vid helped me decide to switch to Bitwarden. Thanks!

[@hauntological]

I saw that too. I'm planning on migrating to Bitwarden 👍

[@calebmcnalley]

@@hauntological Nice, switching over was actually pretty seamless. Just have to export a CSV from LP and import it into Bitwarden - everything transferred over perfectly. I'm liking it so far!

[@hauntological]

@@calebmcnalley Thanks, Caleb. That's really good to hear. In all honesty, I don't even use Lastpass on my mobile phone, so I could allegedly still carry on using it for free on my desktop. However, considering I've been using it since it first came onto the scene, I think it's time to broaden my horizons and try something else, so this has come at a good time really.

[@RoddyPimentel]

Yeah man. I just saw the email. Will need to check. I think it will come down to 1Password - Dashlane or Bitwarden.

[@silvahawk]

@@calebmcnalley lol thanks god I read this, was gonna plan out my day to manually enter 300+ password from my last pass to bitwarden

[@CF542]

I very much appreciate your extensive work on this project, it's been extremely helpful. I'm a very longtime user of LastPass and am serious about moving on as it's become very clunky and often a manual process to use as it's aged over the years. That and the fact it's been bought and sold twice now.

[@mattbarton8274]

Really like the layout, format and the labelling of the scroll function on this. Haven’t seen it done that well on many videos before. Well done Pete. P.S long time Bitwarden convert from LP.

[@tonyparsons2724]

Hi Pete, I have subscribed to your channel, the video on password managers was just what I needed today after many months of frustrating changes and adaptions etc. Many Thanks

[@aka5943]

Thank you! Really the only legit video I could find about password managers. And I really liked how you expressed yourself.

[@vickifrench1913]

Absolutely Excellent review of the varying Password Managers out there. Your information has been of great value to help me decide as I’ve been looking for a while now. Many Thanks.

[@kenpotter9320]

This is an extremely valuable video, and very well done. I learned a lot, and saved a great deal of time/experimentation. Thank you!

[@aaltoiz]

I was gonna go for keeper, but the way they front the purchases really made me reconsider. Thank you, good video 👍

[@reubenabraham8309]

Really impressed by this video and made me question why I wasn't a subscriber already. Well, now I am!. Was looking at a good password manager when I bumped into your video. Although I'd heard about the products you had mentioned in this video, the presentation style was something that I really loved. Kudos to having presented it in way that is easy to understand and compare. Really appreciate the information. Having said that, I'd also like to see your take on the Open Source product Keepass that is used for Password Management. Would also love to see a comparison video like this on different 2FA Authenticators. Looking forward to more content!

[@rambiss89]

Very helpful to me. I was considering 1password but wanted more info. You've provided it. Thank you.

[@thijsvdn9852]

Great review, loved it. Had LastPass and now trying out Bitwarden first, see what this brings me. Will keep 1Password in mind though, testing has started :-) cheers mate

[@PaulC478]

Hi Pete, Very nice informative video. I've just migrated from Last Pass after about 6 years when they decided to disable the usefulness of the Free version. I chose Bit Warden and I'm really pleased with it. As you say in your review it is a very strong contender (The family pricing issue is now sorted - $10 py Premium, $40 py Family), it has easy import from Last Pass or any csv and Custom Fields as standard. Very Highly recommended

[@franciscogonzalezmartinez9804]

Thank you so much for your review, it really helped me to come closer to my decision.

[@ynot8op]

I ended up going with Keeper after watching a few different KZbin reviews of the main options, not because of the you tube reviews, but because every single one of the others had hundreds of recent written reviews of their apps complaining about how awful they had become recently. Keeper was the only one that I looked at that didn't have all those annoyed customers. It is mostly okay so far on my experience, but some of the nuisance issues of having to log in repeatedly and it not picking up some custom fields in apps etc, as discussed in this video are certainly valid. I'm hoping they improve those items in future updates but they're not too bad to live with. Good video!

[@ynot8op]

@@PeteMatheson ha ha yes, it's because keeper is asking customers to provide feedback on various things, including this video.

[@mrupperscore]

Thank you. It was a super review and comparison. Helps me a lot.

[@loulagregg8468]

Thank you! I am glad you have done the research, as I don't usually have the time or expertise to do so myself. I love your ending with Eine Kline Nacht Music! Class and beauty!

[@Dabbidoo]

I watched many reviews for PW managers but your review is the simply really good, learned a lot. It looks like the free version among these is Bitwarden, it checks many boxes especially on custom fields. Thank you!

[@hauntological]

Hey, Pete. I forgot to thank you after I commented on one of the comments on this thread, so - thanks for uploading this 👍

[@exponvaldese]

Very good video, I was surprised to see that wasnt a major youtube channel. With content like this, your channel will grow - stick with it.

[@tonymiller2315]

Excellent review Pete! Using Lastpass on multi-devices for free - but no longer, so your review v.helpful for change to alternative

[@ahawkuafie]

LastPass has fallen.

[@lizmeade3174]

Thanks, Pete. Looking for alternatives to LastPass premium. This video was brilliant in making my decision.

[@baluc2975]

looking forward to learning from the rest of your videos. Subscribed!

[@pierrejean-baptiste3048]

This was well done. So thank you. I learned alot (this was the 4th video on the topic i have watched)

[@steveearley8352]

Great review. Used Dashlane this last year and wanted to change as I find the synchronisation between devices painfully slow; sometimes hours and is super frustrating. I also need a simple to use version as my technophobic better half is considering a password manager.

[@thesurcouf]

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Finally went with Dashlane. Desktop app still working. Not really an issue fo me to be browser only (besides the android app). It would be great if you update this video sometime in the future with more personal recommendations in regard of which one is better suited for whom.

[@ramonsetiadi3040]

Thank you for the Playlist. At least I have lessons being learned in order. Focus guaranteed. Thankyou. Great work Sir. Michael.

[@CleberGasparoto]

Thank you for the detailed review and also for the discount links 👍

[@RonaldSurya]

Good review coverage! Thank you for sharing your detailed experience

[@michpartosa]

Been a LastPass free user for years but I considered switching when they decided to change the usage for the free tier. The outages are kinda scary too. Been having issues with it honestly and I just chunked it up to "probably because I'm a free user." This review is really detailed and helpful! Been looking at 1Password and this review helped take that plunge! Never looking back now!

[@TonyRule]

I was a Lastpass user for 8 years, premium for the first 4 or so. But after the gradual stripping of features, the "one device type" change was the final straw. I migrated to Bitwarden and I'm loving it. Adios, Lastpass.

[@TheB0sss]

Yup, same, the 1 device type made me switch to bitwarden as well. The migration was pretty painless. I've actually found out it's more reliable on Android as well. Lastpass would very often not show the pop-up automatically whenever I tried to login to an app, bitwarden doesn't have this problem

[@TonyRule]

@@TheB0sss Yep. I actually wish I'd switched sooner! Lastpass would often "stop responding" on boot of my phone and didn't work as well at detecting apps for autofill - I can't fault that in Bitwarden.

[@Morell-Tube]

Thanks alot, really informative !!!

[@Shayway]

Great comparison! I just switched to 1Password a few months ago and am loving it

[@justfabio6051]

Great review, I was actually looking to upgrade to the paid 1 password but wanted to look at other options. You did it for a lot of us, thank you.

[@alang9480]

How aren't you at 100k subscribers? But you will be soon... Amazing video!

[@ritankarmukherjee9822]

Thanks a ton for your efforts in explaining with details.

[@diunasiek]

Big thumbs up and a comment for statistics, because this video is really helpful! Thanks a lot, now I know to which features pay attention in my further research.

[@MarkEdwardTan]

I'm using SafeInCloud Password Manager. One time fee and not monthly/annual payments. So far I like it and gets the job done.

[@isrealmathew]

Thanks for the video. I was down the rabbit hole looking for an alternative for LastPass, in particular something that supported Samsung DEX. After install, and uninstall, I had dismissed 1Password since it didn't work with DEX (same error as LastPass). So I then tried SafeInCloud, Roboform, Dashlane and Bitwarden... none of which were perfect. I was also kinda hoping for one that could have multiple URL's for the one entry (eg. Bitwarden). I was leaning in the Dashlane/Bitwarden direction when I thought I'd check out KZbin again before I test the likes of Keepass, Enpass, Keeper and Myki... thus I found this video... it made me go back and check again whether there was anything mentioning DEX in their forum... you had to turn on screenshots and turn on developer mode in DEX... now it works! Thankfully 1Password doesn't have some of the issues with local DNS entries and local IP Address URLs that Dashlane and Bitwarden did... I think I have my answer it is 1Password.

[@jancarlocabantoc4956]

That was an amazing video and I feel like I can actually get started using soft soft. Thank you so much!

[@tsunghan_yu]

I wish you talked (more) about these features: - ease of use of the password generator: how easy is it to exclude symbols or set length when registering in a website? - all the categories it supports: for example, does it support storing software licenses, servers, SSH keys, etc? - emergency access: what happens if I forget the master password? - support of setting equivalent domains - support of TouchID on mac

[@tsunghan_yu]

@@PeteMatheson Looking forward to it. You're the only channel doing in-depth reviews of online services that I know of.

[@joscorstjens201]

Thanks, Pete, clear info!

[@alandeflorio6017]

I switched from LastPass to Keeper paid edition and have been very happy with the move. I like the interface better and it is much more intuitive.

[@busdriver1261]

Great video - thanks for the thorough reviews :)

[@clarisaramos2154]

Hey. Seriously. Thank you. I just downloaded soft and I can CLEARLY see why your vid was recomnded. You're an aweso intro into

[@christermad]

Great review!! Agreed with Keeper's tactics being a little in your face, but it's easy to opt out. I find it an excellent PM and the only one with a proper Windows app that receive updates from the Store. the mobile app on android is also able to autofill all I throw at it, and it's fast and works great.

[@ameritus9041]

Due to the recent changes to the lastpass free account I have been searching for a new manager. This is probably the most comprehensive and helpful video I have found so far. You have earned a subscriber. You might consider an update to this video since lastpass has basically ruined their free account experience. 1password and bitwarden seem my top two choices so far.

[@lucaswellman5572]

On point and direct. Well done!

[@bijansaenic7613]

Great video! Subscribed☺️🙌🏽

[@rodneyackermann5354]

Excellent video Pete, thanks. I've also used 1password for many years on Windows and Mac. My employer requires me to use LastPass. I'm in the position to compare these two. My experience is in line with your comments. I find LastPass very "klunky" by comparison.

[@ronaldm.1556]

if you work on a financial company, the LastPass is the only one that complies with PCI-DSS

[@Tampa2Enjoy]

Can you use these password managers online and off line? Thank you for your great video.

[@ibiubuok]

This video was quite helpful. Thanks for uploading.

[@JBamadeusstyle]

Great video and thanks for doing all the research!

[@Fibonacci620]

Keeper seems great. The only negatives discussed was just for great security (minus the automatic add-ons)

[@mr2ti41]

Great comparison. Subscribed.

[@pauldavidthomasfrodo]

Very interesting. I like you have been a 1Password user since it was released. I'm on ver 6.x and started looking around, as you did. I ended up downloading LastPass ( they also advertise in a few security podcasts I listen too ). The system is just disjointed when you change a password from one area it takes quite some time to propogate and the security system just doesn't seem to work. So, I think I will take advantage of the discount ( thank you ) and ensure I switch off password manager on Chrome and Safari, so I don't have bits of passwords all over the place. 1Password is more, but it just works more seamlessly than LastPass. Also, historically the support has been great.

[@tomatosauce605]

Just got to your part about Dashlane.. I agree COMPLETELY with everything you've said, and I'm doing the exact same thing right now

[@graytonw5238]

Without any previous experience using any password managers, I stumbled onto Bitwarden a year ago and have been very happy with the free version. In watching several comparison videos since then, I don't see any real benefit in switching, since Bitwarden has most or all of the features the other ones do. I like the idea of an emergency contact and secure storage, so I just upgraded to the premium version.

[@jhinboco]

Hey Pete! Thanks for this helpful and well produced video. You’re very personable and knowledgeable, and it felt like I was listening to my brother rather than a stranger. I’m looking for a new password manager for a client who is currently using LastPass. I’m leaning toward 1Password, but I don’t recall hearing whether it easily imports and how accurately from other pw managers. Did I miss it in your 1Password review? Keep up the great work. I just subscribed.

[@Patrick_Cashman]

Great summary. Thank you

[@cb7914]

Do any of these include a VPN that you would recommend, or do you suggest just using a seperate VPN?

[@Winchester1973]

Using Dashlane, as it has both password manager & VPN. Happy with the performance and their customer service. It runs on my HTCU11 and iMac/iPad without problems.

[@scottys3969]

This is a great video. TYVM! I'm going to switch from Keeper and was most likely going to choose 1Password. However now I'm wondering about Bitwarden. So as someone who doesn't already use 1Password what should I choose? Or is there "something about" 1Password"?.....and therefore you just can't help but recommend it?...or...??

[@max_s557]

great video! ive just subbed to u

[@stevesherick5974]

Thanks for a very useful review!

[@tiggerish]

Great review and video - very useful.

[@67dandro]

Bitwarden has a "compare individual plans and features" spreadsheet on their "Plans and Pricing" page if you want to know what is included with each plan.

[@Faldiin_Grimm]

Cheers, Thank you this break down. I have to agree the Keeper seemed slimy when I was trying to test it out. Glad I did not waste much time. Been using Bitwarden. It is a nice system but I keep having issues with auto filling passwords on browser.

[@BaddBadger]

I briefly tried Keeper, but i just found it a little pushy just like Pete says in the vid.

[@LAHarder7]

Thanks for doing all this research and then sharing it with us! I've been using LastPass for about a year now and am currently having trouble setting up 2FA (MFA). Turns out they have no phone support or online chat (I am on their Premium plan). If you want customer support it is by email only--and they take their time responding! How does this (lousy) customer support compare with the other PW managers you reviewed?

[@LAHarder7]

Followup question: If I change from LastPass to another PW manager will I be able to migrate/export/import all the passwords stored in LastPast to the new manager?

[@andrewbucknell5651]

Very good review of all the products. Would be good to update the video as things change (like you did for 1password) in the market i.e. Lastpass now charging. Overall found it helpful

[@leslieloker6725]

Great reviews!

[@mindovertek9282]

Bitwarden sounds like it's worth a try. Thank you for a job well done!

[@mattheworam7238]

Since Dashlane's decision to end it's support for the desktop version and move to a web only service. I am planning to switch to 1password. They have even offered to honour my 1 year subscriptiom from Dashlane and give me 1 year free. Brilliant company. Great video.

[@jesusgarza5293]

I wonder what your thoughts are on Biometric options for passwords. I am referring to finger id, usb or other keys. Please review and let us know your thoughts.

[@ZacharyColes]

Thanks for the info! I’ve been looking to switch from LastPass for a while now. 1Password is where I’m heading.

[@nurinda1851]

I really enjoyed Dashlane because the interface is very nice. However, at the end of my 1 year subscription (this month!) I realized that I can't apply any discount code for the next year. And it hits me that the pricing is quite steep. Currently moving my stuff to Bitwarden. Thank you for the review!

[@cydneykamping4109]

thanks for this info - alot I didnt know

[@andypliska]

Thanks for the reviews, Ive used "Wallet" by acrylic for years and now I find they have bailed on the app years ago. It just started crashing with latest update to iPhone, boo! I need a new app and I think Bitwarden is going to fit my simple needs. Very in-depth info and I appreciate the candor for each. Thanks

[@24killen]

[@SidneyDiongzon]

YESSS!! Password managers are sooooo important!

Great video, Pete. I will take a closer look at Bitwarden and Dashlane. What are your thoughts about Firefox's built in password manager and breech notifier, Lockwise and Monitor. Thanks

[@wannabedal-adx458]

@@PeteMatheson Fair enough. But I really like the fact that Mozilla has had security and privacy as core values from the beginning (can't say that about Google, Apple, or even MS). As free options go Lockwise isn't bad. But as with anything you get what you pay for, so paying for a better password manager is worth it and in the cards for me! Thanks!

[@veaseyr]

Thanks So Much For The Update.

Hi, what do you think of Kaspersky password manager? Since i use their anti-virus it would be easier to use their password manager too (and it's free :D). Great quality video btw!

[@Mumhainabu2000]

really good presentation for non techies like me.

[@zeeshanmasoodSE]

I am using Dashlane for almost 9 years but getting little frustrated with the incorrect auto fill in information and also with the pricing. I started when it was $69 for 5 years and now they want $59 per year. I dont mind paying the price but the product needs to meet the standards. I just installed 1Password and reached to your video while searching if this is worthy or not. I was confuse about choosing between Lastpass and 1password, but your review made the decision little easy for me. Thanks for the discount code, I don't know if that will work for me or not but will give a try.

[@brendaespinoza9835]

Your tutorial videos are amazing. I decided to go back to creating soft after 16 years. soft soft is so easy to get into, but also offers

[@leetheloopylobster]

I have a question regarding 1Password and their emergency access feature. Does your chosen contact need to have a 1Password account as well? or is it just sent out as an email link to whomever you specify?

[@justinrodriguez8598]

I have recently dealt with a breach and needed to change so much. This video was super helpful and you provided me with the information I need to pick a good manager. 1password is the winner for sure! Thank you for the great video sir

[@zen-ventzi-marinov]

Thank you! One question that bugs me, e.g. using lastpass with 2 factor auth, you lose your phone, all passwords are stored in the manager, you get prompted to send a disabling email for the 2FA but you can't read it because you can't log into the manager(that keeps your email's pass). Which in practice means that you should have at least two master passwords. One for the password manager and one for the email, if you use just a single email. Is my thinking correct?

[@juanitaborromeo7058]

Thanks a lot bro very nice video

[@Daidyte]

I've using Keeper and like it so far! The features probably I like the most is that you can create safe password and you can always access them through the vault if you use other computers to log in.
