It doesn’t help if it’s encrypted and your spouse or kids are tech-challenged, so I prefer to leave it unencrypted and secure it the same way you would secure other important documents, such as your passport or bank account information.

Whether you continue to use LastPass or switch to BitWarden, make sure you always have a local, unencrypted copy of your password database in case anything happens to you and your family needs to take over things. Both operate similarly, and BitWarden can easily import your LastPass CSV file to make switching a lot easier. For them, there’s no denying the convenience of LastPass or BitWarden. I would never recommend it to my family members. However, KeePass is a geeky program and not for everyone. I also like that it can double as my 2FA authenticator (ala, Google Authenticator and the like), so I can keep everything in one place. I tend to be the paranoid type, so personally I like KeePass because I can keep it under my own control and it doesn’t sync to the cloud. I was even more concerned when they were resold to a private equity firm two years ago, and I quickly moved all my friends and family to BitWarden. Youll probably be asked for your master password, but hopefully either your new password or your old password will still work here.Īs I mentioned, I used to be a LastPass user, but switched several years ago when they were bought by LogMeIn, a company with a sketchy record.

It sounds like you can still get into your password vault in the Firefox extension, so go to Account Options->Advanced->Export->LastPass CSV file.

I’m no longer a LastPass user, so can’t help with why it works on one browser and not the others, but the very first thing you need to do is IMMEDIATELY export all your passwords for safekeeping before you mess things up further.
