5.0

Brooke: Hi, I'm Brooke. I'm the Director of Customer Success. I give LastPass a five-star rating. And for more reviews like this, you can click the link below. Prior to LastPass, we were using just the standard Google Chrome password settings that save your password automatically. But that was not the most efficient way to be able to figure out which passwords were stored in your system and shared with other users. LastPass is the solution that we're working with because it makes it really easy to have shared and stored passwords for all different team members. And you can store different passwords that sync up with your browser. So anytime you visit that website, it automatically locks you in. You're also able to safely store credit card details, which is really helpful for business purposes. And in general, it just makes it easy to securely have all these different logins for all these different platforms in one shared space. So it's super easy. Helps us log into everything we're doing every day. Getting started with LastPass was really easy because all you have to do is obviously create an account, but then you can use a Google Chrome extension that allows you to log in to all of your websites at any time very easily. So it's an amazing extension that's associated with the LastPass platform. For anyone who's looking to get started with LastPass, I definitely recommend making sure all of your passwords and login, email addresses, et cetera, are already organized so that you can easily import them into LastPass. They make it really easy to import. And then once you're signed in, once you're able to log in routinely from there, it's a super easy setup process.

Speaker 1: My name is Nathan. I'm a visiting assistant professor. I rate Bitwarden five out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. In the past, I've used Google Password Manager. I've also used 1Password and LastPass. I've switched to Bitwarden because it's free and open source, and I can host it myself. I did some research, looking around at different reviews on the internet, and ultimately went with Bitwarden because, as I mentioned, it's free, it's open source and there's no hidden costs. When I first started with Bitwarden, it was super simple to transfer everything from Google Password and from LastPass. Just a super simple process to get set up. For anyone who's considering Bitwarden, I would encourage you to go for it. It's the best password manager that I've found, the most secure with the most customization. And it's a great, great password manager.
