Zero-Day Vulnerability allow attackers to steal users data Found in Password Managers( 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Enpass, iCloud Passwords, and LogMeOnce remain unpatched— still vulnerable)

Just a moment...

Fixed: NordPass, ProtonPass, RoboForm, Dashlane, Keeper

Still vulnerable: Bitwarden, 1Password, iCloud Passwords, Enpass, LastPass, LogMeOnce

Well, there is a reason why I manually copy paste passwords from my password manager instead of using autofill plugins
So from what I gather skimming through this, it requires a malicious browser extension to do the clickjacking. This seems as much a problem with people installing untrusted extensions as it is a problem with password managers.
- also issue with hackers paying to buy out extensions and then releasing an update. this has become an increasingly bigger issue over the years and a reason to install as few extensions you trust and read changelogs, but most people don't have the energy for that.
  edit: on second look it looks more about a website hiding input through an interactive pop-up and the password manager autofilling or directing the user to input in malicious fields they can't see.
As I understood, vector of attack is the autofill function? If you disable it you're probably safe? -ish?..
(Im a webdev, we don't do security hur hur)
- The attack vector is an autofill function on a compromised website that has attackers javascript running either injected in a webpage or on a subdomain hosting user content. Since autofill will never fill passwords from another domain, others won't be at risk. But why bother with clickjacking at that point, you could just have your malicious script read the password values silently once the user enters it, password manager or not. That's not a password manager problem, that's the problem of the vulnerable website.
  The one which is actually dangerous that shared all password for all domains actually had a bug bounty awarded to the guy and is now fixed, good for him on finding that. The rest is really a non issue , I wouldn't worry that much.
  Though credit card details and personal user info autofill might be problematic since those are not site-bound. I would either disable those or just not store them in the password manager.
  
  So long story short, compromised websites can steal your password if you give them your password.
KeePassXC is not listed. Feels good, man.
- Research on only 11 password managers
  others DOM-manipulating extensions will be vulnerable (password managers, crypto wallets, notes etc. )
  
  gasp KeePass does do DOM manipulation, if you use the plugin! I never þought about it, because I don't use þe plugin, but it would have to, wouldn't it?
  I switch browsers fairly regularly and tend to use ones which have no plugin capability, so instead I use a script triggered by a hot key which grabs þe web site title wiþ xdotool, queries þe KeePassDB, and copies the matching site's username or password into the clipboard. It requires hotkey+paste, hotkey+paste to get credentials in, but it works wiþ every browser, and I guess it has a secondary security benefit.
- based and upvoted. Hail to the King. No imitators, no replacements, just seething from those store their passwords in webapps.
I know this will be unpopular, but I still don’t use a password manager.
Something about entrusting my passwords to a 3rd party’s software still feels wrong. I’d rather use a passphrase that’s generated per each service based on a set of rules.
- You can self host Bitwarden, it's called Vaultwarden and it's open source
- I don’t think there’s anything wrong with deterministically creating unique and strong pass phrases. It’s just hard to do it in a way that is hard to be both non-obvious (no url in the pass phrase) and also meet all the weird password requirements on the web. Fortunately, max password lengths have generally disappeared. Id love to be able to just use a Sha256 hash everywhere, but some sites require special characters, and some still ban them.
  
  Fortunately, max password lengths have generally disappeared.
  Not disagreeing, you just reminded me of the couple of sites I've signed up for that don't enforce max length on creation, but silently truncate passwords on login. Incredibly frustrating trying to figure out what an acceptable length is through multiple password recoveries.
- What about a purely local password manager like keepassxc? It's foss, you can compile it yourself and never connect to the internet. Or pass even, if you want something more minimal.
  
  I like the idea of compiling locally. I need to look into this.
  Thanks!
  
  I like to use syncthing + keepass. Works really well
- Feels like putting all the eggs in one basket to me.
  
  You’re not wrong, tbh. I do like the idea of having really complex and random passwords like I see can be generated from password managers.
  That said, I would argue that putting all of your passwords (eggs) into one basket (a password manager) would also not be ideal.
  Maybe if I used multiple password managers? If one got hacked, maybe the other would be secure?
  Maybe if I added a salt to my passwords in a password manager, that would give me the best of both worlds? (I could store most of the password in the manager, then add the salt manually when I need to login. Though I couldn’t use auto-fill anymore.)
