In fact, for the average person, I am not sure a post-it note full of passwords in their home is a bigger risk than an online password manager. Sure, if someone breaks into their house they are screwed, and that is a relatively easy attack. But on the other hand, any bulk breach leaves them unaffected. A notebook full of plain text passwords in a drawer in your home and a shared memorized prefix that must be combined with the passwords on the list to get the full password seems strictly more secure than a password manager (although slightly less convenient).
This actually sounds pretty good; I might start recommending this to non-technical friends and family.
EDIT: phone auto-completed "non-technical" to "non-profit technical"
I've just been researching it and most of the recent vulnerabilities (before this one) have been either minor in severity or "working as intended" (like saving your master password and using PIN unlock, which they warn you is insecure, and relies on device encryption to protect your master password).
Today's issue is by far the most serious in at least the last year.
A big part of that decision was that they have been reviewed/audited and there were a couple vulnerabilities found, but they were all minor, which indicates to me the system is pretty secure. The nature of the bugs was also comforting in that they seemed like small oversights, compared to a lot of the LastPass bugs which seem like "holy shit how did you let this happen".
Only issues I have right now are:
- No app-fill on Android.
- No auto-fill (have to manually click the icon and select an account).
- When using Firefox the extension periodically logs out for no apparent reason.
- There's no address/wallet stuff so I actually have to pull out my credit cards.
Other than that it works pretty well.
- We also fixed the issue you are referring to on Firefox last week. Make sure you are using 1.10.1
- There are plans for additional "wallet" features in the future.
To be clear though, app-fill and auto-fill were referring to different things. What I meant by lack of "auto-fill" was that when I visit a website on desktop, my details aren't instantly filled when the page loads. I have to manually click the extension icon in my browser and select the account I want.
- Firefox extension
- Password generator
But I'll keep an eye on it. LastPass is far from perfect.
