save everyone time and drill your questions down into specifics then. you've been talking extremely broadly about this and haven't given us anything of substance to give evidence for or against with regards to other password managers. let's not even delve into that meltdown a few minutes ago

which password managers are you looking at at the moment? what operating systems are you using? mobile phone integration? teams? you mentioned shared passwords out of the blue as if it was a common thing every did so you have some strange requirements that you're failing to tell everyone else. we can help if you actually mention them and try to present a question in good faith that people can help you with. otherwise you're just going to continue yelling whenever anyone actually answers you but it doesn't fit your views.

Here's an additional question for him: what sort of experience do you have in security and why do you feel like you're qualified to have your opinions when being challenged with factual arguments?

Your profile also intrigues me:

I was hoping to find other articles explaining how an exploit that's possible through LastPass is mitigated by 1password/whoever.

The other password managers mitigate those issues by not being run by incompetent developers who have a long history of repeatedly getting their product badly compromised and then refusing to learn from it.

You're asking for a technical solution to "the developer is a loving idiot who can't secure their security software despite it being their literal job". You're never going to get a decent answer for that because the human factor is really important in security. The question isn't "okay, what theoretical attack vectors are there", it's "why is it that LastPass has been repeatedly compromised and other password managers haven't?" The answer to that question isn't really a matter of technology.

Was that ever followed up on? As far as I know he's never disclosed anything near to the nature of his LastPass discoveries.

I'd also note that AgileBits developers never respond "THAT IS AN EDGE CASE THAT WILL ALMOST NEVER HAPPEN" to bug reports. Once a bug is confirmed, it's usually "Holy poo poo, that's bad. We'll be right back" and then two days later "OK, fixed client is now in the distribution pipeline"

There is SUCH a chasm between LastPass and KeePass and 1Password.

Real question time. I use Keepass at work, home, and on my android phone. I want to use 2 factor because any and all of my passwords I can both remember and type on my phone without wanting to kill myself are breakable, what should I get/use, and how does it compare to the 2nd best thing in a similar product space?

I use the KeeOTP plugin to add TOTP to my KeePass entries. That lets me generate TOTP codes on my desktop computer.

I also use Authenticator Plus for my Android phone and I add my TOTP keys to that too so I can generate keys with my phone.

Speaking of KeepAss, is it reasonable to assume that the Argon2 key derivation function provides some protection against brute-force attacks?

Yes. The point of a key derivation function is to make each attempt of a different password require a non-trivial amount of compute resources. (Argon2 can require processor time, memory, or both depending on how it's configured) A good one can dramatically increase the time needed for brute-forcing.

They may be pushing people toward the subscription service, but you don’t have to use it. They still offer syncing over local network, Dropbox or iCloud (only useful for all macOS/iOS).

You do lose being able access multiple vaults simultaneously if you don’t use their service along with some other features like “travel mode”, so it may or may not be worth it.

Yes, there are multiple TOTP apps that support iOS. Authy, Google Authenticator, FreeOTP, and Toopher are just a couple.

When you start up 1password in the browser they make you match a code between the extension and the app on your computer, I think that's how they fix the problem he found. The new extension doesn't have this problem, because it doesn't interface with a external program.

I use Authenticator+ on my phone because it works great and has automatic backups to my Google Drive for when I need to restore without reactivating all my 2FAs

I use Microsoft Authenticator.

Mostly because I like the push notification approval for Microsoft services. OTP for everything else.

I mean, if you use OTP you're gonna end up having to use a few different ones anyway, since Microsoft and Steam force you to use theirs to 2FA their services, and Humble Bundle and Twitch require Authy for their 2FA.

i don't know about the other services you mentioned, but Microsoft doesn't care what authenticator you are using.

e:
humble bundle doesn't require authy either

Steam does require you use their own service, and Twitch does require Authy.

Blizzard also requires you to use their own authenticator.

Another vote for Authenticator+. Having gone through multiple Nexus 5xs due to their storage issue I got real sick of recovering my 2FA each time. I am 100% okay with having my 2FA codes stored on Google Drive, which uses a completely different 2FA setup.

For end-user type stuff at work I prefer Duo due to the push notifications, much easier to get users onboard. But all admin stuff is in Authenticator+.

Unless battlenet changed anything I was able to extract the key and time shift (and something else..) out of the app into a windows application to generate the same codes as the one on my phone.

You need access to app cache via root to see that data.

Actually I'm trying to confirm this but I'm almost certain the newest version on Windows does not support a local vault except when importing one to their cloud service.
