I don't write checks. In fact I shredded all my checks many years ago. It's been so long since I wrote a check I forgot how to fill one out.

Well that certainly explains why you never give out your checking account number to anyone.

I picked up Sticky Password Manager for the lifetime deal of $30.

It has a nice two factor authorization. It can use google authenticator app on your phone. If you for some reason cannot use your phone you can have a code sent to the email address on file.

The desktop program works great. One click and it opens the link and logs in all for you. No more clicking is needed after the initial click. When in the app you need to pick one of your browsers and add the add on so it can work with the browser. Otherwise you have to copy and paste info.

I normally use Bitwarden. But I am perfectly happy with Sticky for desktop. You can tell it to only save your info locally, share only via wifi to sync up with maybe your cell phone, or tell it to save to the cloud.

When you have it unlocked and minimized it shows an icon in the lower right toolbar. You can right click it and see logins. Click one and it opens up perfectly.

I do not really like the phone app though. But for WIndows Desktop it's perfect. No linux support at this time.

Lastpass "major outage" – appears to impact users with accounts dating back to 2014 and earlier
LastPass stores passwords so securely, not even its users can access them
January 20, 2020
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/01/20/lastpass_outage/

Password manager LastPass appears to have had a big night out on Friday, to the point where the service needed a lenghty lie down over the weekend. In fact, for some users it is still horizontal.

Social media is awash with customers unable to connect to the service either via the company's website or through its various apps. For some, the problem has been going on for days.

@LastPass since three days I can't log-in, getting message "An error has occurred while contacting the LastPass server. Please try again later.". The best part is that LP says everything is ok: https://t.co/Ad4SJvOiFj
No information, no help, sad
— Jacek Zloty (@JacekZloty) January 20, 2020
While the company's status page insists that everything is hunky-dory, the volume of wailing indicates that something has gone awry. Customers have been asked to clear caches, reinstall apps, everything bar the immortal "turn it off and turn it on again" to no avail.

I had no outage issues. I wonder who did and why.

not here either....

summerheat · Jan 21, 2020

This incident and multiple security problems in the past (search here for Lastpass) confirm that my decision to switch to KeePass some years ago was the right one.

Since then I had been using KeePassXC for a long time (which is definitely a great choice and improving more and more). However, recently I went back to KeePass as it's more flexible after all because of the many plug-ins available and its trigger system which, e.g., makes it easy to synchronize the database with other devices.

Another "outage":
LastPass Mistakenly Removes Extension from Chrome Store, Causes Outage
January 23, 2020
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...es-extension-from-chrome-store-causes-outage/

An accidental outage was caused by LastPass yesterday by mistakenly removing the LastPass extension from the Chrome Web Store, leading to users seeing 404 errors when trying to download and install it on their devices.

"The LastPass extension in the Chrome Web Store was accidentally removed by us and we are working with the Google team to restore it ASAP," LastPass Support today said in an update on Twitter. "You can still access your Vault by signing in on our website."
The LastPass extension's Chrome Web Store entry is still inaccessible, with users who try to access it still being instead served with 404 errors.

Yesterday's LastPass issues started with users reporting that they can't download the LastPass Chrome Extension and the company acknowledging the issue on the status website.

"The Network Operations Center is investigating reports that Chrome users are experiencing 404 errors when downloading the LastPass Chrome Extension," the incident's initial description reads.
"Please note that all encryption and decryption occurs locally on your device, not on our servers," LastPass further explained. "We don’t have access to your sensitive data."

Yes exactly, it's crazy to rely solely on the cloud. I would always store passwords locally.

LastPass dropping support for native macOS client, replacing it with a universal web app
January 29, 2020
https://9to5mac.com/2020/01/29/lastpass-macos-client-change/

The popular password manager LastPass will be discontinuing its native Mac app, the company announced today. Support for the dedicated LastPass app for Mac will be dropped, with users being migrated to a new “Mac app” that is essentially a web app in a wrapper. The new app is on the right in the above image.

The Verge reports that LastPass has sent emails to users of the old Mac app informing them of the switch. The company cites changes made by Apple in Safari, and says the switchover is happening to “provide the best experience for our customers.”
To replace the dedicated LastPass app for macOS, the company is releasing a new client for the Mac that’s based on a web app.

If you so desire, you can continue to use the native LastPass app for Mac, but don’t expect any support or security updates after February 29th.

Google Removes Dashlane Password Manager from Chrome Web Store
February 11, 2020
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...hlane-password-manager-from-chrome-web-store/

Google has removed the Dashlane password manager extension used by over 3 million users from the Chrome Web Store due to issues with 'User Data Privacy/ Use of Permissions'.

"[Investigating] Currently, our Extension cannot be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store. This issue have no impact on users that already have our Chrome extension installed and running. Only users needing to download our Chrome extension for a first time install or a reinstall will encounter the issue. We are working actively with Google to have it back as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding," Dashlane's status page states.
In a post to Google's Chromium Extensions support group on Monday, Dashlane Senior Engineering Manager Thomas Guillory stated that they received a warning email on Friday about the extension's use of permissions and was told they had 7 days to resolve the issue.

After replying with the reasons for the use of permissions, the extension was removed within 24 hours without an explanation.

[...] the extension uses a very broad permission set [...] In comparison, the LastPass password manager extension has far fewer and less intrusive permissions:
It is not known what permission Google has an issue with, but a recent update to Dashlane's status page stated that they are working with Google to get their extension available again.

Dashlane password manager now has family plans
Up to 6 separate user accounts can join the family
June 23, 2020
https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/23/dashlane-password-manager-now-has-family-plans/

Luckily, Dashlane has announced two new plans to help families manage their personal security and privacy online.

Dashlane's new family plans come in two options: Premium Family and Premium Plus Family. Both plans come with Dashlane's headline feature of automatically filling out information for passwords, payments, and personal details online and across unlimited devices. They also include extras like dark web monitoring, personalized security alerts, and access to a VPN for Wi-Fi protection.
While the standard Premium Family plan for $7.49/month will probably be enough for many, stepping up to the $14.99/month Premium Plus Family plan will add credit monitoring.

There is one thing that I don't understand about 1Password. You can download both an app or the browser extension, but does this mean that the app can also integrate into the browser, without the help of any extension? Does this mean that it works like some kind of browser plugin?

https://1password.com/downloads/windows/

Kirk Reynolds · Jun 27, 2020

Does anyone use KeepassXC along with its browser extension? I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion about how secure it is using the extension.

‘1Password’ App Coming To Linux, Initial Release Available For Download
August 5, 2020
https://fossbytes.com/1password-linux-development-preview-releases/

The user-friendly and cross-platform password manager app, 1Password, is finally coming for all Linux platforms with full-feature and native support. Currently, a development preview for Linux has been unveiled.
This is the initial release for testing and validation purposes only. Hence, you should not use its Linux development preview for production or business environments.

As planned, an official release with long-term support will be announced later this year after including new updates, features, and changes over the next few months. However, if you want a stable version of 1Password for Linux, you can use 1Password X in your browser.
Click to expand...

1Password is available for all devices, browsers, and operating systems such as Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, Google Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Firefox. And now it is also going to be available for Linux desktop as well.
1Password — A Native Linux App
The 1Password Linux app is built using the ‘most loved programming language‘ Rust for secure backend, and React.js library for a responsive component-based frontend. Hence, the app includes full end-to-end encryption to meet both the security and performance expectations of Linux users.

My main PM is LastPass. However, it doesn't perform well on my android, it somehow fails to fill apps. Whatever permissions I gave to LP, all is of no avail. Google PM performs there impeccably, so I trusted some pws to it. As I see, unlike previous versions of Chrome, you cannot just open the page with saved pws on PC, now they are covered under windows pw.

LastPass will now monitor your accounts for breaches and at-risk passwords and alert you when you need to change them
August 5, 2020
https://www.windowscentral.com/last...nd-risk-passwords-and-alert-you-when-you-need

LastPass, now owned by LogMeIn, today added a couple of new features that will not only make it easier to check which passwords need attention but will also proactively notify users if an account has been compromised. The new Security Dashboard and dark web monitoring features are live right now.

Kicking things off with the new Security Dashboard, LastPass is putting everything into a single view to make it easier than ever to make sure people have an idea of exactly which accounts have poor passwords. They'll also be shown which accounts have two-factor authentication available, too.
All of this information will be distilled into a single security score for easier reading and understanding – the higher the score, the more secure you are.

In latest news, 1Password has started to work together with privacy.com, I must say that virtual cards sound like an interesting solution to creditcard fraud. And Bitwarden has a possible security hole which involves its auto-updating feature.

https://fossbytes.com/first-beta-version-of-1password-app-for-linux-arrives/

Finally, a month and a half after we reported the initial release of the 1Password app for Linux desktop, its co-founder Dave Teare has now announced the beta version of the full-featured ‘1Password’ Linux desktop app.

The backend of the 1Password Linux desktop app is built using the ‘most loved programming language‘ Rust and the frontend using the most popular component-based React.js library.
Additionally, the app also uses a safe, fast, and Rust-based ring crypto library that provides full end-to-end encryption to meet both the security of data and performance expectations of Linux users.

1Password also has a free account offer for an individual or every member who works in an open-source team.
Lastly, if you want to install 1Password on any of your Linux distros, head over to the official 1Password For Linux Beta page.
