For people who use password managers, beware that lastpass's extension is not compatible with the new release. Found that out the hard way.

That seems more a failure on LastPass's part than Firefox's.

I say this as a LastPass user, they clearly don't give a rat's ass. They've known about the WebExtension requirement for, what, a year now? Somehow they're among the first apps to support Android Oreo's autofill API, yet they can't be bothered to update their Firefox extension.

It's a real pity. I like LastPass. I pay for it. I use their Secure Notes feature ALOT. But I may still have to switch if they can't get their act together.

[superdaniel]

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I would probably have switched to 1password once they raised their prices, but at least my employer pays for lastpass for me.

The lack of LastPass is a pain, however it made me discover BitWarden, which is free, open source, has 2FA, has working firefox & chrome plugins, and iOS/Android apps. It is also trivial to import your LastPass data into bitwarden. It's definitely worth giving it a try.

(The LastPass firefox app also seemed to use a lot of CPU for some reason, I have no idea how that was possible?)

Note: It doesn't support all of LastPass features, like per-website extra data, which may be a problem for some users. There's also no Safari plugin.

Bitwarden also doesn’t support per login “re-enter master password”.

[joosters]

Not sure what you mean? There's a settings->Lock options which has choices from 'immediately, [various times], on restart, and never'.

Or do you mean something like 'you must re-enter your master password for particular sites'?

[dalfonso]

Yes, 'you must re-enter your master password for particular sites'. I liked turning that option on for any e-commerce or highly sensitive sites.

[joosters]

Yeah, no sign of that kind of feature, unfortunately.

Pretty sure we are coordinating with them to make sure it's available for the Firefox Quantum release in November. So this is hopefully only going to be an issue during Nightly and Beta cycles, and not in the main population.

[superdaniel]

This is good. Too bad it they don't have the new extension available yet. For the few minutes I had the Firefox beta it seemed pretty awesome. It actually was seeming to be competitive with Chrome on macOS.
