Reviews for LastPass Password Manager
LastPass Password Manager by LastPass
Review by FLYCDR
Rated 3 out of 5
by FLYCDR, 3 years agoI cannot agree more with the reviewer which I quote below this message.
Being a paying enterprise user since the beginning of LastPass I struggle more and more.
The basis "must do / can do" is;
- Remember passwords
- Fill forms (this used to work a few years ago,)
- The acces on my iPhone is a dissaster since I refuse to "trust" my own device for 30 days. Whilst using a yubi key. This process requires Authenticator which is to complicated. (minimum 10 clicks to login)
The emergency access (by other user) is a verry nice feature though !
I have to start looking somerwhere else.

I've been a LastPass user since shortly after it launched. I paid $12/yr for a number of years to use the paid version. I'm a former MSDOS programmer and was hired in the early 90s for about 10 years as an interface designer for MSDOS logistics software which featured many modules. The interface required that computer novices were able to navigate various logistics operations of the early 1990s. I received a lot of good comments on the intuitive simplicity of my interfaces. So I feel qualified to judge and appreciate a well-designed interface.
I have a hard time in LastPass finding the things I need, because configuration options are buried and nested all over the place. When I find the setting or adjustment that seems as though it is what I've been looking for, I choose what I think would be the likeliest setting that will accomplish the change I require, and too many times, when I return hoping to find the feature brought into compliance with my expectations, I discover that it has had no impact at all. The latest with which I've dealt, is a problem with LastPass logging out of my account in too short a period of time after logging in. I've exhausted myself trying to find where the setting is to adjust the time to stay logged in.
No software of this variety should require taking courses as LastPass does. There aren't enough features to warrant the complexity which would require such instruction. I know already what I need it to do, to make password maintenance and form filling simple and secure. What such a package competes with in similar applications is the smoothness, intuitiveness, and "user friendliness" of the interface. There is no need to reinvent interface design concepts unless you have a spectacular new paradigm you wish to introduce.
Even Microsoft has made very asinine and silly missteps in attempting to simplify the user experience along the way. Remember Bill Gates refusing to integrate Microsoft software with the internet because there was no way for business to make effective use of it? Remember the "Microsoft Bob" experience? (If that was before your time, Google it. Microsoft's "Bing" search engine might scrub the search results for Microsoft Bob or Bill Gates' huge and costly goof on the future of the internet. Bill actually wrote "The Road Ahead", in which he gave his prognostications on the "then-future" developments in computer technology and its impacts upon our lives.
I think I'm going to take another reviewer's advice -- who has apparently used LastPass for as long as I have -- and try BitWarden. His final comment on BitWarden? "You don't feel choked."

- Rated 1 out of 5by Álvaro González, 12 days agoThis extension has been broken for weeks. Apparently, they've removed the local vault and now it loads the website, but it breaks if you've visited the site in the past and have old cookies stored. Also, judging from the Chrome version, they've broken something in site detection and now it's more likely to fail to detect your existing entries and prompt to create a new entry when you log in or update your password.
Mandatory online mode, broken features and total lack of interest from the company suggest this is not a good nest to put your eggs, esp. considering that this company is well known for tracking user data, suffered a data leak affecting user vaults, and there're several competitors that offer much better value even in their free tiers. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18479778, 13 days ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18591599, 15 days agoIt was working fine, but in the last updates they included a window asking for certain permissions and the buttons to decline or accept do not appear. I have to log in through the website everyday which is a hassle.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13455059, 16 days agoWhat can I complain about? It works! Look, I know a lot of people hate that you have to choose between mobile and desktop but I chose desktop so I can search my password vault at any time from any device I own. I cannot count how many times this has saved my life, versus every other password manager requiring 1 million forms of identification with my phone and other apps.
