LastPass vs Bitwarden: Which Is Right for You?
Bitwarden Is More Secure
Bitwarden
When it comes to the basics, both LastPass and Bitwarden have the ground covered. They both offer AES-256 encryption, two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, and a zero-knowledge policy.
All data is also encrypted during transfer, so you are safe from man-in-the-middle attacks. Neither of the companies can actually see your passwords. This means that even if their servers are hacked (like what happened to LastPass in 2015), hackers won’t get access to your passwords.
What gives Bitwarden a slight edge is the fact that the product is open-source. The code that runs the system is available online. This means that it can be checked online by experts to make sure that there are no major security issues. Bitwarden went through a successful third-party audit using Cure53 cybersecurity firm.
LastPass is adding new restrictions to its free subscription tier, which means users will only be able to view and manage passwords on one category of devices: mobile or computer. The changes come into effect on March 16th.
