After signing up for an account and setting your master password (the one that allows accessing the service and the rest of your login data), you can start saving and categorizing credentials according to your personal needs.Īdditionally, users have the option to expand the password manager's functionality by using the counterpart KeeVault web application for managing and classifying a password data at more granular level. The Kee extension can serve users who need to securely save, synchronize, and manage their passwords for website login. About the add-on and KeeVault database connection What's done is done, though.Kee is a Firefox extension, with open-source code, that helps users encrypt and automatically save their passwords for all websites they access. Having this particular trust betrayed has scared the bejesus out of me, and made me question some of my assumptions. 1Password is a more trustworthy company in every way: they have a sustainable business model, they aren't owned by private equity, they have a fantastic working relationship with security researchers, and they don't try to sweep major issues under the rug (like LastPass has and continues to do).Įveryone has different degrees of comfort and standards of security, of course. Browser plugins are great, iPhone and Android support is there.Ĥ. A password solution needs to be secure, but for average security needs it should also be usable.ģ. Cloud hosting makes syncing between mobile and desktop possible, and that's very helpful to keep me from falling back on bad behaviors for day to day use. They would need to also gain access to your machine and its secret key.Ģ. As a result, even if someone were to compromise 1Password as thoroughly as LastPass has been compromised (and I don't think that's likely), and the attacker somehow gained access to your master password, they still would be unable to read your passwords. The secret key is stored on each device you have enrolled, but not on 1Password's server. Unlike LastPass, 1Password has an additional security element: a secret key. I have a lot of reasons why, but I'll try to hit the high points:ġ.
I have been recommending cloud hosted 1Password to everyone since migrating.
