Why would I use Keepass when Lastpass is even more secure?

If somebody gets your Keepass DB, they just have to guess your password.

Meanwhile, somebody has to know your Lastpass password and then break the 6 other multifactor methods you can add to your account.

On top of that, you don't have to spend so much time syncing your Keepass DB.

Keepass BTFO.
>>
>If somebody gets your Keepass DB, they just have to guess your password.
And how will they get my DB when I'm taking every conceivable measure to prevent that from happening?
Who are the bad boys more likely to target, the single person with one Keepass DB, or the big service storing passwords of tens of thousands of users?
You are fucking retarded if you entrust your passwords to a 3rd party service whose security measures you cannot verify.

Lol as if you can stop them.

>>53172285
>6 other multifactor methods
You're not using all of the multi factor authentication methods you have on LastPass. You pick one to enable to 2FA.

>If somebody gets your Keepass DB, they just have to guess your password.
You're also not taking into account that you have 2FA on KeePass as well.

>On top of that, you don't have to sped so much time syncing your Keepass DB.
Happens automagically with my OwnCloud without having to worry.

Your arguments seem flimsy.
>>
>>53172388
I use 2 multifactor options.

>You're also not taking into account that you have 2FA on KeePass as well.

No you don't.

>I use 2 multifactor options.
Me too.

>No you don't.
Yes, you do. See https://keepass.info/features.html
>One master password decrypts the complete database.
>Alternatively you can use key files. Key files provide better security than master passwords in most cases. You only have to carry the key file with you, for example on a floppy disk, USB stick, or you can burn it onto a CD. Of course, you shouldn't lose this disk then.
>For even more security you can combine the above two methods: the database then requires the key file and the password in order to be unlocked. Even if you lose your key file, the database would remain secure.

You do realize how long it would take to brute force a 7+ charactor password, right?
>>
>>53172314
>Lol as if you can stop them.
Define "them".
Nobody will be as retarded to target me. Because either they have intel about my person, in which case they know I'm just an average guy with below-average wealth, or they don't have intel about my person, in which case they take a huge gamble trying to obtain my Keepass DB and then trying to crack it (which is going to take a damn long time given the strength of the keyfile).
So in the end, the reward/effort ratio is just too low for any sane person to consider that.
Meanwhile, the Lastpass servers are looking far more attractive. In fact, it might even be worth blowing money on a 0day to get into them because you know those DB contents are going to contain information that's juicy as fuck simply by going by how many users are registered with Lastpass.

Kek. If you lose it or it gets taken, you're fucked.

There's a reason that Lastpass doesn't give you keyfiles. They are fucking stupid.

>>53172310

Most people use dropbox to sync keypass dbs. Dropbox is laughbly insecure.

>If you lose [your key file] or [if it] gets taken, you're fucked.
Weak argument. See https://lastpass.com/multifactor-authentication/ If you lose any of these methods, you're fucked too.
>>
>>53172497
Only with a very large character space and sufficient entropy this will take roughly a year, which you can easily distribute over multiple processors on multiple systems to speed up.

This is very feasible and not hard at all.
>>
>>53172518
Most of the 2-factor authentication methods Lastpass offers amount to the same thing.

You have the classic hardware tokens, which you can also realize with Keepass.
You have something akin to a TAN list you print out - which can be lost as well. A fingerprint authentication - which is laughable since these fingerprint readers are getting cracked open one after another and not even high-end professional fingerprint readers are that great.
And then you have a wide variety of smartphone apps for which you must be a colossal kek to use since you outsource yet another attack vector to an external closed-source application which you can't control.

I'm actually surprised they don't offer an SMS TAN since that is the pinnacle of unsecure two-factor authentication.

That's entirely up to you. You're no more likely to lose your hardware token than your key file stored on your flash drive.

Yet another weak argument. Just stop.
>>
>>53172641
Are you for fucking real? A keyfile I can burn on multiple discs and put them on multiple USB drives and store them in various secure locations.
With one of those joke smartphone apps you're fucked once your smartphone breaks, which happens very often to stupid retards nowadays.
>>
I used to use keepass etc

Then I was the victim of identity fraud, then I realized there was no point.

Anything you really don't want deleted, store it offline. Anything embarrassing you should just delete when you're done. Anything with money just ask your bank to refund you.

what does keepass have anything to do with your identity

Just use the same simple password for everything, there will be no consequences.

Keypass has 2 factor authentication if you want to use it.

Lastpass has 6. Stay mad.
>>

What if the basket is velvet lined and supported by a self-correcting gyroscope calibrated balancing robot?
And the alternative to the basket is having eggs lying around on the floor in your garage

In this situation you'd be retarded to put the eggs anywhere but the basket.

Your analogy doesn't work because if it did it'd also work against the use of safes in banks.
Banks shouldn't be keeping all their money in safes, that's just asking for trouble

Idiot, someone getting your DB is the easy bit.
It's fucking AES-256. If the NSA wanted in they'd be stuck with bruteforcing the password. For a password longer than about 15 characters that's a few billion years of attempts.

>>53174554

Your passwords are kept by someone else and can be accessed by anyone with a warrant.

They can break into my encrypted volume? Interesting.

>If the NSA wanted in they'd be stuck with bruteforcing the password
Who cares if they brute the password. They can't do shit without my keyfiles, which are also hidden, and required in order to open the DB.

I don't think you have any idea what's going on.
>>
>>53174568
>And how the fuck are they going to do that?

You probably use Windows.

Didn't LastPass get all their passwords leaked a while ago?
How the fuck do you still trust them, or ANY online server with your secure data still?

>>53174633
because this is a shill thread if you haven't noticed by now.
>>
>>53174607
Banks do get robbed. You think they'd lose more or less money by not having safes?

You can keep your keepass DB in as many locations as you want, it is a fucking 40 or so kB file.
So your basket and eggs analogy betrays a deep misunderstanding of the technology you're criticising.

You're arguing with a counter-analogy.

The fact that you think 'bypassing this program' is a thing shows how little you understand about the security of an AES-256 encrypted database.
Banks get robbed when the vaults are open.

As long as you're still logged into lastpass you can disable the 2FA. I lost my keychain which had my yubikey on it and I just disabled the 2FA. Even if you aren't logged in I think you can disable lastpass 2FA from your email.

it would actually be worth the time to attack it instead of your single keepass DB. Literally the only reason to use last pass is making sure the goyims and NSA get your credentials. If you're too stupid to keep a single file synced kill yourself immediately (or get off /g/)
