003 - LastPass Breach

[If you are not subscribed to short explanations, please sign up. We forwarded the feed from the other podcast for a month.]

We’ve always recommended password managers. Both Tom and Chaim are using Bitwarden, but we have recommended LastPass in the past. In fact we’ve had LastPass on the old show a few times.

On December 21 they explained a breach that caused user vaults to be lost. That is bad. We explain why we are now recommending that you should move.

However, if the choice is LastPass or nothing, stick with LastPass. They have done more for protection than others, but the fact they are not keeping up with newish protocols is a cause for concern.
