Ondrej Holzman When you think of a password manager, most probably think of the popular 1Password, but a very capable alternative is LastPass, which is also free (with ads). Now LastPass will compete with 1Password on computers as well - the developers have announced the arrival of a new Mac application.
Until now, this password manager was only available on iOS, and on computers it could be used on both Mac and Windows via a web interface. Plugins were available for Chrome, Safari and Firefox browsers. Now LastPass comes directly with a Mac application, thanks to which it will be possible to access the entire password database from the convenience of the native application.
In addition to automatic synchronization between the Mac and iOS application, LastPass on Mac will also offer offline access to saved passwords, credit cards, sensitive information and other data, including several useful features.
Similar to 1Password, LastPass offers a keyboard shortcut to easily fill in login information in browsers and quickly search across the entire database. Function Security Check in turn, it regularly checks the strength of your passwords and recommends changing them if it sees a potential danger of breaking them.
After a recent update, LastPass can also automatically change your password, which means that if you enter a different password in your browser than the one stored in the database, LastPass will automatically detect it and change it. LastPass for Mac will be just like iOS application Free Download. For $12 a year, you can remove ads and get multi-step verification.

Why is the Keychain Access system manager not enough? Thanks for the clarification in advance.
Exactly.. a boy is enough for me.. I guess I'm less paranoid :)
It also misses the fact that some websites are not saved even if I cut them...
But in general it's great, and especially the data doesn't go anywhere but to Apple.
What I can think of is if you want to have passwords outside the Apple ecosystem. That is Android, iOS, Windows, MacOSX, Windows Phone... These programs can usually do this. Or offer better compassion (opening the application / website directly from the program, etc.)
Possible export abroad...
As long as you only use iOS/OSX, that's enough. If, for example, you have Windows at work, there is a problem. I personally have 1password or oneSafe only for pin and things like that. I find the OSX/Windows client expensive.
And why does someone devote time and energy to make "safe" software and for free? So I wouldn't trust them with my passwords :-).
Don't do it for free. He wants to trick people into putting passwords there. Then the "complexity" for them will go elsewhere and they will soon be lured to a paid model, which sooner or later a person will need.
