🚨 New research from ETH Zurich has found that popular password manager's zero-knowledge encryption claims don't fully hold up if their servers are compromised. ⚠️
🔑 LastPass, Dashlane & Bitwarden were identified as being affected, this is significant because cloud password managers commonly claim that their user's data would be unaffected if they were compromised. 👾
✅ Dashlane & Bitwarden promptly issued fixes.
❌ LastPass did not issue a fix and stated: "our own assessment of these risks may not fully align with the severity ratings assigned by the ETH Zürich team."
💡In 2022, LastPass experienced a breach that impacted 1.6 million users due to inadequately strong technical and security measures within their infrastructure.
The best time to switch from LastPass was yesterday; the second best is today. 🗑️

Lastpass is an absolutely AWFUL company.
After LogMeIn got their hands on them the prices skyrocketed from $12 to $24 to $36 to $48 a year for their premium plan.
I switched to Bitwarden, who have kept their premium plan at just $10 a year, for many years now.
With ownership of Lastpass now in the hands of not one, but two investment companies, one really has to question where Lastpass's priorities lie.
