I feel like atleast one of these has been hacked at some point in the past, but I cant remember which.
It was LastPass, but the passwords themselves weren’t leaked. All of these encrypt the password.
This is an interesting and a bit terrifying podcast about it (and other things), from a infosec perspective. https://twit.tv/shows/security-now/episodes/905?autostart=false
Security Now is amazing. For anyone that wants the deep dive tech perspective, plus what it means for everyday people and users, this is a great option.
