My friend the IT guy told me to ditch LastPass and I fought him on it for months
He kept saying password managers are only as good as their security. I thought he was being paranoid until I read about that breach in 2022 where user vaults got stolen. Then I saw the numbers - over 30 million users affected. Made me switch to Bitwarden and honestly I sleep way better now. Has anyone else switched after a breach shook their trust?

Oh boy, @johnson.river really went all in defending LastPass there. I get where you're coming from but I still think the breach was a bigger deal than people want to admit. Yeah every service has issues but not every service has 30 million users' vaults floating around out there even if they are encrypted. You're putting a lot of faith in people having strong master passwords and we all know how that usually goes. I just don't see why you'd stick with a company that already messed up that badly when there are other options that haven't had that kind of disaster.

Man you're being way too dramatic about this. LastPass has been fine for millions of people for years and one breach doesn't make the whole thing garbage. Every service gets hit eventually, even Bitwarden had that server issue back in 2023 where some users couldn't access their vaults for a day. People act like switching fixes everything but really you're just trading one set of potential problems for another. Plus LastPass has way better sharing features for families and teams than most free alternatives. All this panic about vault theft is overblown too since even if someone gets your encrypted data they still need your master password which should be strong anyway.

Wait, didn't LastPass actually have multiple breaches though not just one? @wren230 I think they had a couple of incidents where vault data got copied, which is more than just a single oops moment. The encrypted vaults floating around is definitely something to consider even if you trust your password.
