In December 2022 LastPass disclosed that an attacker had copied a backup of customer vault data. Some fields, such as website addresses, were not encrypted in that backup.
Where Pearl Pass is different
- The free plan works on your phone and your computer at the same time
- Verification codes from your phone's texts and notifications appear in your computer's browser
- Every item is encrypted together with its id and timestamp, so the server can't swap or replay entries
Where LastPass is stronger
- Apps for iPhone and more browsers
- Sharing and business administration features
- Passkey support
