I mean, LastPass was a train wreck after their breach, but they didn't go as far as trying to stop me from exporting my vault when I switched to BW.The idea of BW doing a rug pull and suddenly removing the ability to export your vault I think would trigger a class-action lawsuit.

The shit show that's called lastpass, which I unfortunately know, was hacked because a developer installed a bad version of Plex Media Server on his work computer.

Interesting! I've been a LastPass and then 1Password user since 2009ish.I left LastPass because of UX paper-cuts, but I've never lost passwords on either of them.Honestly, it's something I don't want to think about and just need it to work on mobile and desktop, so the switching ...

At this point it is too high of a risk to store my password elsewhere. I've been screwed over by dashlane, lastpass, potentially bitwarden now, I am with 1password now, but I've had my passwords in all these places, and I've had to change them each time, probably missing a few.I ...

  • Security breach history dominated discussion and shaped nearly every thread's emotional tone.
  • Sentiment trended downward through most of the window before a low-volume late uptick that appears to lack broad support.
  • Opinion was split over the actual severity of the 2022 breach, with some commenters contesting claims while others cited specific technical failures as proof of lasting harm.
  • Reliability and bug complaints compounded the negative atmosphere, reinforcing rather than standing apart from trust-based grievances.

Discussion of LastPass over the past four weeks was heavily dominated by security concerns, with breach-related commentary accounting for the largest share of mentions. Commenters repeatedly returned to the 2022 data breach as a defining reference point, and several mentions framed it not as a resolved incident but as an ongoing reputational stain. The tone around security was notably corrosive rather than cautionary, with participants describing the product's breach history as emblematic of a broader failure of trust in SaaS-based password management.

Reliability and bugs formed the second and third largest complaint clusters, suggesting that even users who might have moved past the security narrative were encountering frustration in day-to-day use. Several mentions implied a compounding effect, where reliability problems were read through the lens of prior security incidents rather than treated as isolated technical issues. The overall atmosphere in these threads felt less like troubleshooting and more like a post-mortem.

The score trajectory over the window was erratic but trended downward through most of the period, with the lowest readings clustering in the final full weeks before a single outlier mention pushed the last data point sharply upward. That late spike appears driven by a lone mention rather than a genuine sentiment recovery, and the preceding slide from the mid-fifties in early April to the high teens in late May carries more analytical weight given the mention volume behind it.

Opinion was divided most visibly on whether the breach's technical impact was as severe as critics claimed. Some commenters pushed back on characterizations of the incident, arguing that vault encryption limited real-world damage, while others cited the insufficient encryption rounds affecting early adopters as evidence that dismissals were misleading. Pricing changes and privacy concerns registered but remained peripheral to the dominant security-and-trust narrative.
