Lastpass vs 1password vs keepass12/9/2023 ![]() Filling In Passwordsīoth applications allow you to add passwords a number of ways: by typing them in manually, by watching you log in and learning your passwords one-by-one, or by importing them from a web browser or other password manager. LastPass supports two additional browsers while Keeper supports two additional mobile platforms. Both services work on most popular platforms. Both work on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge, and LastPass also supports Maxthon and Opera. Both work on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, and Keeper also supports Kindle and Blackberry. Both work on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS. You need a password manager that works on every platform you use, and both apps will work for most users: In many cases (but we cannot promise that this will always be the case) even Service data held by these entities is encrypted with keys held only by us. The locations of these are described above. "Your Secure and Service data are held by third party data processors, who provide us with hosting and other infrastructure services. In many cases (but we cannot promise that this will always be the case) even Service data held by these entities is encrypted with keys held only by us." I also do not like that the data servers have to be serviced by authorized personnel from a third party, even though the data is (supposedly) encrypted. While data is encrypted with 1Password, the data is stored on servers in the EU, which I do not like. ![]() Strongbox does not have access to your data at any time. At that point, privacy is then between you and the respective cloud service. The only time data would not stay on your device is if you chose to use iCloud or another supported cloud service. In my opinion, Strongbox is better because the sensitive data remains on your device and is not transmitted to the developer or stored on any company servers. Bitwarden also allows for self-hosting although I haven't tried that option, yet. It a good thing you are keeping everything on your devices so long as you have multiple backups. I also like the fact that I don't have to access the internet, in order to change account settings like you do with 1Password (re: master password). I asked 1Password for years to please institute a required backup method to the master password. That means, if a person were to see my password for MR (for instance) and tried to log in as me with the credentials seen, it still would not work, because the password would be missing the crucial input that completes the password and has not been saved in Strongbox, 1Password, Bitwarden, or any other manager. ![]() And if that doesn't seem like enough to some reading, a person would also have to get past my double blind password process. It would take more lifetimes than we both can imagine, and that is with numerous computers, not to mention, if someone l(like a family member etc.) got a hold of one of my devices and got curious, they would have to not only get through the master password, they would also have to get through the long PIN code. I am confident in saying, that there is no way any person could get inside my Strongbox app on iOS or Mac. He has been very attentive when I have contacted him.Īs far as I can ascertain, Strongbox is as strong as current technology allows within the Apple system.
