    Are you not worried your vault is still on their servers? I feel most companies don’t delete shit. Most have ways to get around it saying they keep some info for taxes, accounting, etc.

    I wouldn’t sleep well knowing my passwords were on there at any given time.

      You can host a bitwarden vault yourself. They open sourced and audited. So, trustworthy that there’s no back door somewhere to some degree.

      So just change whatever passwords you had saved to LastPass. That would mitigate any issues, right?

        Pretty much. Though also any security questions or other private info you have saved, some of which is much more annoying to protect.

        Though one annoying thing is that even if you change everything, what they find might help them social engineer an attack.

        I second Bitwarden, BTW. Best password manager I’ve used.

        Just. It’s not an insurmountable problem, but I wouldn’t be happy changing the login details, one by one, on the some 80 websites I have in my vault.

        Not to mention if you’re using an email anonymizer, you’ll have to regenerate new emails for them all too. I guess you could do it on demand, but knowing my batch of emails in floating around the dark web doesn’t sit well with me. Worse yet if it’s your actual email, then they have that now.

      It’s e2e and the code to do so is opensource, and you can always host Vaultwarden yourself.
