You're right. It's too late to edit it now but I'll keep it in mind for next time.

A dedicated import feature for Bitwarden is coming in v4.1 later this week: https://github.com/padloc/padloc/issues/561

Well, there is the problem, isn't it? If people aren't willing to pay what amounts to a cup of coffee a month for a service they rely on daily, how are companies supposed to build a sustainable business without raising money?

Yes. We've been around for quite a while actually, and have completed three independent audits. One just recently by Radically Open Security [0]. [0] https://padloc.app/blog/security-audit-ros/

Well, yes. But to be fair, I bet there is a 5-year-old HN comment of a Bitwarden founder somewhere saying the same thing...

> This doesn't worry me that much. In the event that incentives get skewed (which isn't certain), I guess I could just stop updating the app before that happens, or fork the last good version? This is easily said, but remember

You're absolutely right. Of course there is no guarantee that whatever alternative you seek won't turn out the exact same way. But unfortunately all you can do to punish that kind of behaviour is to vote with your wallet and move

If you're a Bitwarden user and this doesn't worry you, you haven't been paying attention to the history of almost every company that has accepted VC funds. It doesn't matter how well intentioned the founders are - once y

Allow me to plug my own product: https://padloc.app The new version (currently in beta) has a "Family" plan which is perfect for this. We're also planning to introduce a "dead man's switch" feature

I don't understand why so many password managers go through so much trouble to implement auto-fill. This one has an interesting approach that seems to be slightly less intrusive than what, say, Lastpass is doing but I still don't

Thanks for adding some clarity here. Apparently I missed some of the finer details. > What is served over the web? There is a form for generating passwords right on the front page and it states nowhere that the browser extensions are the

Came here to point out the same concerns, basically. I'll add this: 5. Its seems like there is no user-specific secret in addition to the master password. If two users happen to use the same master password (which is definitely a possi

Yeah, currently the only way to run it on desktop is through the Chrome app. A native, standalone desktop app for all major platforms will be released very soon, though.

What alarms me much more than the appearance of bad code quality is the fact that we have no direct way of checking what's actually going on under the hood and what impact it has on security. If there is one axiomatic requirement for t

Yeah, maybe not the right forum to cover all of your questions in detail but here are a few bullet points (note: I cust came across bitwarden, too, so this is just from what I gathered from the website and the little time I've spent pl

Author of Padlock here. Thanks for mentioning! Happy to answer any questions as to how Padlock compares to Bitwarden!

by MaKleSoft 12y ago
I agree. In my opinion most password managers focus too much on delivering features that nobody really needs (most of the time at least) and far too little on user experience and polish. This is, I think, one of the reasons why so few non-t

If you're looking for an open source alternative that is easy to use and not as clunky as KeePass, 1Password or LastPass, you should take a look at Padlock: http://padlock.io/ It's still in alpha but will be relea
