I think that the more defensible position than \"it\'s limited and manual\" is why 1Password rather than LastPass, or LastPass rather than 1Password. I just haven\'t seen a clean rundown of their comparable performance on anything like established benchmarks. Do you have a reason for your preference? Or could *either* do the job equally well and you happened to end up in the 1Password ecosystem? ## Brad Farris (@blfarris) — [Dec 31, 2012 07:01 am](https://my.remarkbox.com/53888b06-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501/great-apps-for-2012-mac-and-ios-brettterpstra-com#53888b0f-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) I use both 1Password and LastPass for different uses. LastPass is web-based - this means that you can \"share\" passwords with other users. So it\'s perfect for sharing \"company\" passwords across members of our team. But the web storage makes me a little nervous about security. So I use 1Password for my personal and ecommerce passwords. It has a terrific mobile interface and works seamlessly with any browser. I haven\'t experienced the sync problems the OP suggests \-- but I haven\'t used it that long. ### Cris Bennett — [Jan 04, 2013 11:47 pm](https://my.remarkbox.com/53888b06-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501/great-apps-for-2012-mac-and-ios-brettterpstra-com#53888b10-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) Well, 1Password is fairly useless without Dropbox (unless you only use 1 device), so either way you have \'web storage\'. From what I\'ve read, I\'m more inclined to trust LastPass with my data than Dropbox, but either way it \*is\* a matter of trust. \ 1Password does have a nice interface, which is why I bought it for Mac and iOS a while back. But it was so much more work to use than LastPass that I have ended up rarely using it. --- **Source:** [https://my.remarkbox.com/53888b0e-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501](https://my.remarkbox.com/53888b0e-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) **Snapshot:** 2026-05-03T11:01:15Z **Generator:** Remarkbox `763cacb`
