#Techradar rates #LastPass as 4.5 stars. None of the other 31 password managers scored higher than 4.5 and only 4 others rated 4.5. They rated Lastpass higher than 1Password.
It's like they were off-world for the past few months.
Should I stop reading Techradar?
I'm assuming you read the article, saw that the review of LastPass (LP) was from October of last year (after LP had publicly reported the close of the investigation of the August incident, before LP had recognized and announced the follow-on incident), read the review understanding that it was made in the past and still think it was so irresponsibly wrong that you can no longer trust the institution that produced it.
In that case, sure, you can reduce the number of sources of information you have. Given that you're moderately critical of the things you read though, wouldn't reading more widely, deeper and more critically be better than reading less?
In any case, I read the review, and IMHO it isn't wrong, for all that it is aimed at the less technical. The only thing it is clearly missing from today's perspective is the recent announced breech, which announcement is fully in line with the transparency that the review _does_ mention.
I understand being upset by the breech. Fundamentally our software ecosystem is built on sand, so I think that feeling of betrayal is misplaced if you feel betrayed by LP. They are just today's (yesterday's, at this point?) victims. Tomorrow there will be others.
