So here we are, at my final conclusion about the password managers security. Lastpass vs 1Password, smack downed in a single sentence. For quite a while I was listening raves about 1Password and how awesome it is, and how it’s the most secure way to safe keep your passwords. I never dug into it, as it was quite expensive software.
It lacked functionality of sharing passwords, that I’ve found essential for the use in the first place. My belief about Lastpass was shaken, because my favorite podcasters never seemed to mention it. And I started to wonder, is Lastpass truly less secure than 1Password.
Turns out, that the faith that I’ve put in Lastpass was justified. Guys from Security Now, explained why Lastpass is currently providing the top notch security, even over 1 password. As I consider them them one of the top security experts on the web, their vote made me certain that I am doing the right thing! You can watch more about it here.
So my verdict goes without a doubt…
Update for justice: Guys from Lastpass showed me a tweet where Steve claims that 1password is also good. But I still keep my verdict for two main reasons:
1. Lastpass is web application, where 1Password is powered by Dropbox
2. Lastpass lets me work with my virtual assistants with more ease.
Verdict goes to Lastpass. Perhaps 1Password is equal in terms of security, but for the price difference and extra functionality, Lastpass certainly wins the day.
About Bojan
Thanks for the article. I agree with you about Lastpass be the better Manager. I use Two-Factor Authentication across a lot of my accounts. I feel a lot more secure when I can telesign into my account. I’m glad when this is an option. It’s nice to have the confidence of knowing that your info is not up for grabs.
Thanks Robert! I have to add up to this! I did minor injustice to 1password.
Security now, wasn’t comparing the two platforms. Later on Twitter, they said 1password is also good.
The latest version of 1Password upgraded its encryption to AES256.
But both of them lack a feature that KeePass has: using of an alternative key file to encrypt your password file.
Thanks for adding open source alternative! Good to know for all the people that love to avoid proprietary systems!
If Steve Gibson is your source for security information, I’d get a second opinion. This is the guy who wrote an assembly program to disable the Windows file-sharing service over your Internet connection and then wrote a long article about how awesome he is for figuring it all out, when all he had to do was open up the control panel for the network connection and uncheck a box.
Thanks for your opinion Bob
Guess guy loves it the hard way, heh 
Almost every time you do an update of 1pass or the browser, it breaks for unspecified time periods that can last for months. Also the auto time lock doesn’t always lock on your browser, so it’s sucks.
I hate it when people nit pick two great apps and go back and forth about the comparisons, find an app you like and stick with it, that’s what helps with development, it’s called loyalty, a rare thing these days I know. No application is going to be perfect, well my girl doesn’t have what this other girl has so I think I’ll go with her, oh but that girl doesn’t have what this other girl has so I’ll go with her because she has bigger boobs. What do you think this is an all you can eat buffet? LMAO!! Both apps are perfect the way they are and will no doubt get better.
This website is about productivity. I reserve loyalty for human beings in my life. I have no allegiance to companies who work for profit. If something works for me better, damn sure I’ll switch. I have an exclusive 1password review coming up, you’ll like it, if you’re 1password fan.
I choose 1password. Reason, I have it on my computer, on my iPhone, not in the cloud. The data is with me…
How do you sync it?
