Trust broken by breaches
Multiple breaches and poor incident responses break trust in claims and raise questions about LastPass security.

Late to encryption
LastPass only recently encrypted all vault data, after 2022 and 2023 breaches left sensitive information exposed.

Closed, unverifiable architecture
A proprietary model prevents independent validation, leaving customers to take LastPass at its word.

“We selected Bitwarden because it met all of our requirements. The web UI was fantastic, and the migration process allowed us to rapidly deploy Bitwarden across our organization. We never looked back.”
