I signed up for LastPass a couple of weeks ago, and they started sending me spammy emails every single day. I went into account settings and disabled the emails, and they kept coming. I opened a support thread on their forum, linking many other similar threads going back several years, and saying that they have to fix this under GDPR... Silence.

I deleted my account and switched to BitDefender. Still getting the LastPass emails though, whenever I check my spam folder.

Also, LastPass slowed my Android phone a lot. BitDefender doesn't seem to do that.

In short, my recommendation is: stay the hell away from LastPass. They can't even handle an email system, I don't trust them at all to handle my passwords.

Their Windows application was also painfully slow.

I paid them for years but I no longer trust them, it seems to me they are incompetent as an organization even if the people who work there might or might not be smart.

You meant to say bitwarden? Afaik Bitdefender Is an Antivirus.
Oops, yes. Thanks.
