P.S. This was written for people that aren't technical so I didn't go into too much detail.

I don't understand why Dashlane is more popular then LastPass, I keep seeing recommendations for it but Dashlane is triple the cost and has no linux support.

I asked a question about Password managers on Spiceworks about 6-8 months ago and I had both Dashlane and LastPass give me free subscriptions for one year. I used both for about 3 months and I prefer Dashlane. It is quicker and more intuitive. Unfortunately I do have Linux on several home PCs, but I just use the web interface on those PCs.

It is the company that purchased LastPass. The company is known to outright lie to users/customers. Do YOU trust a company known to lie to you with your password vault?

Most companies have been caught with their pants down at some point. The world still uses Cisco gear after all.
LastPass had the best response to a security incident I've ever seen from a provider, even post the purchase. LMI as a parent company have so far kept their mitts out of the operation of it.
So for now, very happy lastpass user.

Just no, the only Cisco I'll touch is equipment I didn't have anything to do with ordering.
The world still uses Lenovo, even tho we know they're insanely open to remote hacking. Doesn't mean any responsible person uses them.

Key words to me are "so far".

Honestly, so am I, and I'd really rather not switch, but I also don't think I have the option to stay with them after my current subscription runs out.

I haven't heard of that one yet. I might try it and write an article since it's ony $5. I would like to get my gf on it.

Ever see Zoho's vault. I don't know much about it, but the pricing looks good.

I didn't go too far in depth with Dashlane since my blog was geared towards users, but here is a good overview of why I like Dashlane.

Hadn't seen that one yet, I'll have to check it out. First one I've seen that isn't either free or more expensive than LastPass.

The free version seems decent as you have access to sync across devices. The $1 a month plan isn't a bad deal either.

Reading through the security documents, they are doing things I'm not liking security wise.
"The encrypted values are sent to Zoho Vault server" This is the only mention of the Zoho Vault server so far, I have no understanding by reading this page what this server is.

But $5 a month is $60 a year. Which is 2.5 times the $12 x 2 price for LastPass for my wife and myself..

I agree, but I was just thinking about trying a month or two out to test it.

I would be looking at the $1 plan, if anything. The shared vault thing just looks poorly done to me. The shared key is only AES-32 bit. Yes, it's combined with the personal key, but still, using a 128 bit key isn't going to make the process any slower, and would massively increase the probability of someone brute forcing the key.

$5 covers upto 5 members, and each member can install the app on any number of devices. Each user gets their own password vault too.
And you can invite as many family members as you need for an additional $1 per person/month.If you dont want to go with a subscription based pricing model, you can also choose the one time fee standalone version which is what i've been using for several years.
