In light of LastPass breaches, it's hard to recommend it as a passwordmanager. But is 1Password a worthy alternative?
LastPass and 1Password are two of the most popular password managers, and for good reason. They each offer a robust suite of security tools to protect your passwords, They are also readily accessible across difference devices, boasting such features as autofill, app support for a range of operating systems, and handy password generation.
That led major security outfits and researchers to condemn LastPass, and recommend that no one use it, even encouraging existing customers to migrate to other services. This is a shame, as LastPass employs a “Security Challenge” that looks at the complexity of your passwords, then lets you know whether they’re strong enough, which at least encourages strong passwords. If they’re not, you can use its built-in password generator to create replacements that are far harder for humans and machines to guess.
And 1Password also helps you generate new passwords based on your preferences, using combinations of words, digits, and symbols with a customizable length. When it comes to sharing passwords with friends and family, both services make it easy to accomplish. While 1Password offers a unique family URL for you to give different people access to your vault, LastPass provides a specially crafted sharing folder just for those family-friendly logins.
We found 1Password’s interface almost too clean, with large white spaces in both its online and offline tools that leave you clicking through successive menus to find what you’re looking for while you’re still learning how it works. Everything is laid out neatly, but it’s not immediately obvious where everything is.
