BitWarden Send allow you to share a password (or a note) with anybody as a link. You can limit how many time it can be seen or for how long. It can be reached with the send button in the interface ( both app or web). Maybe this is the answer to one of your points against BitWarden.

[@Craylor]

I didn't know about BitWarden Send! Thanks for sharing this.

[@asaholey]

@@Craylor maybe do some research first before making this video?

[@aaron6841]

@@asaholey exactly what I was going to say! Well said

[@emmahsax]

His video literally has the send button visible on the screen... so it's not like that is a new feature since this video came out. I loved the majority of this video, until I saw him mistaken on Bitwarden's features. Now I'm like.... what is he missing from the other providers? Unrelated.. I trialed Keeper a couple years ago. It was ads all over the place! Upgrade here! Add this feature here! What starts out at a reasonable price just gets more expensive with their add-ons, and there are popups all over the place! Just this alone turned me off Keeper for a long time!

[@An.Individual]

I was going to say the same (BW send lets you share)

[@hermes8258]

Thanks for the chart. Three major factors for me are the following deal-makers. 1. Customer service - fast, efficient and personalized (i.e. by phone or chat) 2. Simplicity: not a lot of 'bells and whistles,' does just a few things perfectly, maybe five things at a very high standard and... nothing else. 3. Customizable categories, ideally with choice of icons and colours. I am not technically-inclined. All I need is a digital version of a locked diary.

[@MrSoulMonk]

Superb review! You covered the points that matter and did it concisely! One of my requirements has been the ability to store attachments like pictures, etc. LP has that, but the interface is basic. I used MyKi until they deprecated the app but it was a great app and I loved it. In your review, I briefly saw Keeper offering the attachments feature and it appeared to be better than what LP offers. Thank you for the great review. Subscribed!

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

But he never said anything about the security of the other companies. After watching this video I have no reason to believe LastPass security is any worse than its competitors.

[@StefG615]

Hi, recently I started using Nordpass for my company because of its easy to use UI. I saw you mentioned that it doesnt provide MFA, but at least now it does for logging in! For me that was a must have!

[@zaidalnaib]

Great video just on time. I've been using LastPass for about 4 years and after their data breaches am thinking of switching to another password manager. Is it possible to import my LastPass vault to another password manager? Thank you. 👍

[@thestreamreader]

Is it really a good idea to story the 2nd factor auth in the same place your password is stored?

[@rickamadoodle]

Is there one with folder organization, file attachment on all kinds of records, windows hello support on the browser extension, and great form fill? Like a Keeper with Roboform level form fill and browser hello integration? Or Bitwarden premium with Roboform level form fill?

[@afal381]

This is a great overview of the different options thank you

[@GetMyNoteLowered]

Thank you for the great review on password managers. Do you know if it's possible to add multiple Gmail accounts to Bitwarden so they will auto-fill when logging in? Thanks a lot. :-)

[@josephseven9121]

In terms of security, how do you perceive the C2 Password Synology password manager and is it a suitable choice for personal use?

[@jfitzpatrick6108]

Excellent, easily understood Comparison/Review of password mangers. Thank you for that!

[@Ninjazx10Guy]

Good review, but you are missing some important points that i consider to be deciding factors. 1- Breach reports: Does it include ALL emails in the logins, or only the email in which you registered the account with the password manager? Lastpass reports all emails (personally i use multiple emails for login, and i think a lot of people do). Using only the email registered in the password manager kind of kills the point for me. 2- Can you search by password instead of by login? sometimes i need to search for a specific password, especially if there was a breach to see if it was reused somewhere else. In onepassword i can type the password in the search field, in nordpass for example, i can't. 3- There are other features like, autochange password (i dont remember which one had it, i think keeper), which are handy but not mentioned. 4- Wether they are open source or not (i think only bitwarden is). 5- Wether there is an alert every time you log in or not (nordpass does not alert you). Especially point #1 and #5 are super important for me. Cheers and keep up the good work!

[@martijnmartijn]

Great informative video! Just wondering, where do you get the background music for your videos?

[@sonocaras]

What about the password managers from one of the big 3? (Google? Microsoft authenticator? Apple?) After being disappointed by lastpass loosing my vault.. I'm looking for something else.. and the big 3, seem to have the budget and motivation to do it right.

[@BenjaminWSong]

never understood handing your key vault to a 3rd party for safe keeping. been using KeepassXC and its database never leaves or gets stored in unencrypted data medium. might use BitWarden on a self-hosted machine.. other than that, any service that requires the database to be stored on a remote machine is not for me.. :/

[@PictorialVibes]

I'm in the market to research the new advancements in the password manager tech. Good review! But you mentioned that RoboForm does not offer Custom Fields. Well, RoboForm has the option to add Custom Fields, albeit in a geeky way. It's been there since a long time. By the way, as a long-time RoboForm user, I like its feature of offering form-filling in Windows dialog boxes (like offering to auto-fill PDF passwords). Is there any other password manager that provides the Windows form-filling feature?

[@HPthatsME]

Thanks for the info! Have you ever heard of Passpack? I have been using it for a number of years and I am used to it, but I wonder how it stacks up against these?

[@AlexGTech]

[@Craylor]

Thanks Alex!

[@apg381]

Great video, but Lastpass DOES support custom fields (although it's not obvious in the app - when editing an entry, click the spanner icon in the 'Edit Password' dialog). I am Lastpass user, who is thinking of switching after this security breach. Many of the password manager companies have been hacked in some way, but allowing employees such easy access to customer vaults is disgraceful - internal networks should be air-gapped from production systems given the sensitivity of the data they contain. I've been trying 1Password, but there are inconsistencies between the desktop app. browser extension and web app. Such as adding custom fields, or deleting entries, I still think Lastpass front-end is better than 1Password - because of this.

[@JuanBretti]

Bitwarden has the Send feature, that allows to share any text or password.

[@kbabaman]

Thanks. I have been thinking about using a password manager so this video helped me a lot

[@Craylor]

Definitely worth getting one!

[@grahamfjlaws6108]

I tried 1Password Family for myself+wife. I found a problem with the design. You cannot share the same Chrome session (eg share bookmarks etc) as another user. You have to come right out and start a new session to log on as a different 1Password user. No such constraints with Bitwarden (nor with the now-disgraced Lastpass). The 1Password interface is otherwise far more sophisticated, as is their implementation of autofill. But I'm living with Bitwarden for the time being.

[@mubindidit230]

I was a Lastpass user for 2 years. But at the end of 2022, I tried many of the popular password managers. From there I have stuck with Bitwarden. Man, I am super happy with Bitwarden. Like it has everything that a password manager need in the free plan. And the premium plan add more functions but I will say, it more over to support the company rather than the features. Becdause the free plan has all the things. Also regarding the design, Bitwarden recently done a full UX/UI r3edesign. And I gotta admit it looks dammnn good.

[@willy7968]

Thank you very much for this in-depth feature comparison of 7 major password managers. I'm looking for a new one and stuck between 1Password and BitWarden. It looks like the features where 1Password excels are the areas in which I have the least need but both are viable options.

[@asaholey]

If you're using android, try it first. Autofill doesn't work with apps

[@FreihEitner]

@@asaholey Oh, Autofill for apps is a must-have for me on Android, though that's probably only 25% of my usage of LastPass now.

[@michaelhaller8683]

I used Lastpass for years and switched to Bitwarden very recently but now ended up with KeyPassXC. The problem with all the pass managers out there which seem pretty easy for usage is that they all (or most of them) use the PBKDF2 algo, which is as of today old and probably not very safe anymore (todays GPU's could crack it relatively easy in time). I switched to KeyPassXC which uses Argon2. Needs some more time to set it all up as you need a external cloud if you want to use it with your smartphone. But I feel more secure into the future. BTW KeyPassXC is free and opensource

[@AndySomething]

Thanks for sharing the recommendation. I'll look into this! So this is kind of like an offline password manager - or self hosted password manager if you had a NAS at home?

[@michaelha3038]

@@AndySomething yes exactly. The database file is encrypted (full encrypted, not like lastpass which only encrypts user and pw fields…). As I‘m a iPhone user I used iCloud to store my DB file, but somehow did not sync probably with my Windows PC (iCloud sucks on windows). So I ended up with Google Drive and use the app Strongbox on iPhone. This combination syncs on the fly. But if you have a NAS is surely the better way to go. You could also use a extra keyfile to decrypt the DB which you store locally on your devices for even more security. Also give a quick look into the Documentation and FAQ of KeyPassXC. Just be sure to use XC version.

[@AndySomething]

@@michaelha3038 Nice! Appreciate the info! I'll look up a tutorial and hopefully it's somewhat manageable to set up! :D

[@RafaelSocarrasRedor]

Hi. In Bitwarden you can use both algorithms. For them, you must access your vault on the web, and in security/passwords you will find the option. Greetings and blessings

[@salan6738]

Amazing review my friend!

[@julianfp1952]

Disclaimer - within reason I am not at all price-sensitive when it comes to the price of my password manager (and also my backup software) since I view those two as such critical functionality. $30 a year or $60 a year really is neither here nor there for me when the security of all of my online banking and other critical sites are concerned so I chose solely on the basis of features rather than cost. On that basis it was Keeper that I chose now that I’ve ditched LastPass after its latest security breach. What made Keeper stand out for me was the security. Yes, every reputable password manager encrypts the vault with AES-256 but what I like about keeper is that a vault is not a single encrypted blob all encrypted using the same key, rather each record in a user’s vault is encrypted individually using a different random AES key. Also, as another minor point that I think shows the difference in attitude between LastPass and Keeper, LastPass was happy to leave old users with their accounts set to only do 5,000 PBKDF2 iterations when many experts now recommend a minimum of 300,000. Keeper’s default is 1,000,000 iterations. I know that many people will perfectly reasonably say that a single AES-256 key for the vault with 300,000 PBKDF2 iterations on the master password is more than sufficient but when it comes to the security of my passwords, especially after this LastPass breach, I find total overkill quite reassuring.

Hey dude thanks for the video. I'm surprised you haven't gone more into the actual security behind each.

one thing you forgot to test is the customer service/support. This is also very important. I found this lacking in almost every product, in fact even the pre-sales was rubbish and took a lot of effort and chasing to get answers. I ended up going for Bitwarden, it had all the features I needed, and the support was more responsive than the others, plus the cheapest as well. The real downside of Bitwarden is the interface, its so basic and not very intuitive and I think people who are rubbish with computers and non technical would struggle with it. Its definately more for IT people. The sharing aspect is also a bit weird compared to others. Basically, you have a personal vault for your own stuff that is not shared with anyone, and an organization vault for sharing with your company, this includes the family plan, which is just an organization. This means you cannot separate your personal and work passwords into different vaults, unless you have multiple accounts. If you want to manage clients passwords, just create an Organization for them.

[@waschosen-]

Zero knowledge policy is a must. Keepass was the best but now pCloud password is better

Because last pass was hacked I switched to bitwarden. I love it, It fixes all the things that frustrated me about last pass. Also I signed up original with last pass in 2017. I did try 1password but didn't like it but forgot why. One big issue is I lost the key that you have to have to log in, I do not think that was why I didn't like it though as I lost that after I found I didn't like it. Also I do not share passwords so that feature is not needed. never used it with last pass. However looking at my bitwarden app I see a send option and looks like I can send to anyone. Then again I am using the pay version.

You criticized LastPass for security issues, but never talked at all about any security features of the others (e.g. encryption algorithms). Other than not having any publicly known breaches, what makes their security better? Luck? Despite its recent "breaches" there is no evidence that any user vaults were compromised. To me, that speaks volumes about the real security infrastructure at LastPass. Most of the media coverage of the LastPass breaches has been driven by its competitors who obviously want to present the worst possible interpretation of the recent events. I use a very long and complex Master Password for my LastPass account and am not horribly concerned about the potential that my vault could be compromised. If a password manager is going to impress me today, they better be working on encryption methods that make the data safe/r from quantum computer attacks.

I just moved away from LastPass, and I really miss some of its functionalities. I have about 100+ different logins for a website consisting of 4 different domains. With LastPass, I just need to add all the 4 domains into the configuration, allowing the logins to be applicable for all. It's a one step action. In 1Password which I've newly subscribed, yes, each login can be added with multiple urls it's supported, and that's the only way. To support all four domains for all 100+ logins I have, I have to enter each URL manually, total of 100*4 = 400 steps. 🥲 Other than this, 1Password is very potential, loving it's simplicity. It has CLI allowing little scripting for coded actions. But the CLI features are still growing, not every use cases are covered at this point of time. And most importantly, I think it has our passwords protected in the most secured way!
