...yeah, they were bought out by the dreaded LogMeIn a few years back unfortunately. I used to use Keepass, and I liked it, but with a family subscription to Lastpass, it's easier for me to manage and share passwords, and the barrier to entry is lower for my non-techy relations. The video is almost comically old and much of it is of course out-of-date, but Steve Gibson does a pretty good job of explaining why you should trust Lastpass, for the sceptical. I imagine much of it applies to the alternatives. The SN podcast is worth a listen every week in any case, it's packed with nuggets of interesting security and tech related stuff.

Subject: Re: How to validate passwords without storing them anywhere.
LastPass recently neutered their free product (now you have to choose
between desktop or mobile access, rather than both included), so a lot of
folks are switching to alternatives. Bitwarden is one of the more popular
and highly rated options.
I didn't watch the video, so I can't say whether I agree with any of the
other content. I happen to use KeePass myself, but will probably try
Bitwarden "Real Soon Now" (to see if I can get my wife to use it).
