Highly Recommend (long review) – IronVest Review

I’ve always been against cloud stored passwords until our company was breached. It was easy to see how dangerous weak passwords can be. Blur has made things much more secure for me without adding a big headache. The built in password generator with on the fly customization has been my “go to” for creating unique, long, and complex passwords. While focused on a website’s password box, blur can create a password then and there. You can cycle through the auto generated passwords it offers, adjust the character length, allow or deny certain special characters etc, without leaving the webpage. The masking of phone number and email was a huge bonus! It was not a key element of my decision to use blur but after having it I wouldn’t want to go back. Prior to blur I unknowingly had repeated passwords on several accounts. Blur kindly shows you which accounts have used a duplicated password, and shows you the password history for each account. I chose blur over other password managers for a various reasons: 1) Privacy is company’s sole function and focus. 2) Abine isn’t a huge nor hugely known company. (I prefer strong mid sized companies where the founders and executives are still close to the team) 3) They were proactive and transparent when a misconfigured file exposed customer data. The data did contain sensitive data but that data was stored heavily encrypted. (No company is immune to breaches. So I want to know how the information is separated and stored and how the company responds to a breach) 4) Easy 2-factor authentication. 5) US based company 6) Browser extension with added security against tracking sites. 7) They don’t sell or share your data with 3rd parties. 8) The companies privacy policy and transparency.
