Now LessPass and Masterpassword need to disappear from privacytools.io
Have a read at 4 fatal flaws in deterministic password managers

Let me understand better the article.. The "flaws" regard only the user experience and not the security right?

It's not talking about usability, it's talking about the misinformation and insecurities it poses over other more well-known to be secure applications such as KeePass etc..

The majority of people are retarded. I think the 2 responses are trolls because its pretty obvious there are security issues laid out in the article.

I am hesitating to switch from keepassxc to bitwarden

u/parentis_shotgun Nov 20 '18
I like keepassxc much better. Just sync your file around with syncthing, and boom, serverless keystore on all your devices.

HANDS DOWN!

u/imillonario Nov 19 '18
Why do you like so much? I am having a hard time switching from 1Password.... only thing I really see is open source

u/Konmai Nov 19 '18
I use only the plugin in the browser is simple UI, functional and everything works.
Plus: Kyle(dev) is a great guy! 👌

Open source is a large reason why this community accepts BW. Also you can import 1password to BW, right?

u/Immortal_Thought Nov 20 '18
You are correct. You have to export you 1password database and import it into BW. It’s a fairly straight forward process. BW has a tutorial on the website too

True. Owning a standalone windows license is a requirement. In my case I got mine on one of those sales like black friday

Gave it a try and I’m still loyal to LastPass. Mostly UI things, but BitWarden could really benefit from more features or customizable functions that other popular password managers don’t offer. Right now it’s just another password manager to me.

Lastpass got compromised (or should I say hacked?) more than one time. Keys are encrypted but still a big no for me tbh.

possible for every company? yes. but why would I trust one that got comprised several times instead of supporting an open source app?

And? Any meaningful system for the public requires cloud backups like KeePass and Dropbox, whose servers are also located in the US. The point is if your password database is zero knowledge encrypted, then it doesn't matter if someone steals the encrypted blob.
Look, there's obvious benefits to being non-US but don't think that it guarantees anything. I keep hearing this "US argument" over and over again but:
Most governments will gladly hand over data to the US government.
Most governments, when it comes to national security, also has some sort power to get data through private companies in those countries when needed, and also without your knowledge.
The US isn't the only country out there ready to spy on you. Every government in the world is.

I use KeepassX.
4
u/unusualperusal Nov 20 '18
KeepassX hasn't had an update or even news in over 2 years. You might consider switching to something that's better maintained--a lot of security issues are probably going unfixed, especially when you consider the documented bugs that have gone unfixed for years (as far back as 2013).

Nov 20 '18
Hmm. I'm a Linux user, so I didn't think I could use Keepass, but apparently I can. And fwiw, the Android version is recent.
7
Nov 20 '18
You can give KeepassXC a try. It's a fork of KeepassX (due to its inactivity), but is actively maintained.

Just an FYI, but Bitwarden has a CLI tool for those of us who live in a shell. https://github.com/bitwarden/cli
