Reddit 1password

1Password Families keeps you and your loved ones secure online. It remembers your family’s most important information, so you don’t have to.

1Password has similar support through apps like Authy and Microsoft Authenticator, though goes further when it comes to business. Dashlane supports a wide range of sites, including Reddit. In comparison, 1Password stores its password data locally and only copies it to the cloud for syncing across multiple devices. Just like LastPass, it encrypts all data before it leaves.

Includes up to 5 people (with room to grow), all paid with a single subscription.
Everyone gets their own Master Password, which they’ll use to unlock 1Password.
As a family organizer, you’re responsible for managing the family and what each person has access to.

Use vaults to share some information and keep the rest private.

Each family member starts with two vaults:

Everyone in your family has their own Private vault. You can’t see what’s in theirs, and they can’t see what’s in yours. Store things like your email login and social media passwords in your Private vault.
1Password Families includes a Shared vault for items everyone in your family needs. It’s a great place for your Wi-Fi password and Netflix login, for example.

Limit sharing

You can create other vaults with limited permissions, too. Are teenagers part of your family? Create a vault that the adults share but the kids can’t see.

Share with guests

Guest accounts are perfect for sharing limited information, like your Wi-Fi password, home alarm code, and instructions for your babysitter.

You invite guests to a single vault at a time. They won’t have their own private vault or access to your family’s shared vault.

1Password Families gives you the tools to help your family and world class support for when you need it yourself.

Recover accounts for family members

If someone in your family forgets their Master Password or can’t find their Secret Key, you can help them recover their account. They’ll be back up and running in no time.

Share the load

As a family organizer, you’re responsible for managing the family and recovery. But you don’t have to do it alone. You can make others family organizers, so you can share the responsibilities.

In fact, it’s important to have at least one other family organizer. That way, if you can’t sign in, someone will be able to help you.

Whenever a password manager is recommended to internet users, the opinion usually originates from a security expert. Even though these experts are definitely the right people to listen to, it’s often just as important to listen to the advice of the public, too.

And when it comes to people sharing their honest, uncensored opinions about password managers, there are few sources worth looking out for than Reddit users.

That’s why we took a closer look at some Reddit threads regarding password managers: like expected the results are exciting and pretty unconventional…

Big Password Managers: Torn Between Supporters and Haters

Although there is a general consensus between users that password managers are mandatory if you have multiple passwords across various websites, it’s shocking to discover that many Redditors are pretty hostile towards password management tools developed by bigger companies. The reasons for this are varied, but there are two arguments in particular that appear in almost every thread we found:

Unsafe Cloud Storage

It’s quite surprising to see how much Redditors reject the idea of storing their credentials in the cloud of big companies – despite constantly hearing about the advantages of cloud computing. In fact, the biggest concern about partially or entirely web-based password managers comes down to whether their encryption methods are effective enough at keeping hackers at bay. There are Redditors who try to explain that most password manager companies use end-to-end encryption making them perfectly ‘hacker-resistant’, yet the majority of the Reddit answers tell readers to choose a password manager that stores passwords and other credentials on the device and/or syncs offline.

Buggy Browser Extensions

Another huge concern of Redditors is how open password manager browser add-ons are to hacking. Sadly that’s something even we have to confirm: since extensions have to comply with the coding of the browser they are integrating into, it is highly likely that the plugin’s own coding will be vulnerable. Although Redditors are satisfied with how fast big password manager companies release patches should their database become compromised, they suggest users the very same thing that security experts do: turn off the browser extensions completely.

LastPass: Caught in Crossfire

Despite all of the above, Redditors don’t completely reject the option of installing a big password manager; in fact, both Dashlane and 1Password appear in a mostly positive context, with the latter usually preferred by Mac users. But opinions differ significantly on LastPass, the company that has had the biggest amount of media coverage in the past few years.

Many – especially avid KeePass supporters – have set a full-on vendetta against this company, stating that LastPass is the prime example of how not to securely store our passwords due to its web-only nature and the huge amount of bugs discovered in its browser add-ons. Defenders of LastPass, on the other hand, go as far as to declare it the best password manager, emphasizing its user-friendliness, convenience, cheap pricing policy and how fast the company reacts to data breaches.

The Winner Is Open-Source

Admitting that in certain aspects alternative password managers can be better than their traditional counterparts, it was still startling to see the dominance of KeePass, especially when the thread involved LastPass by comparing the official product to its open-source ‘nemesis’. And despite complaints about its not-so-user-friendly interface, the main message to big password manager companies is that it was not local encryption or cloudless syncing that made KeePass the number one Reddit approved password manager, but its open-source nature – in other words, the ability to immediately patch vulnerabilities.
