LastPass password manager hacked, but password data should be safe

https://bit.ly/3dShbmF

LastPass, a password manager used by more than 33 million people around the world, said a hacker recently stole source code and proprietary information after breaking into its systems.

The company doesn’t believe any passwords were taken as part of the breach and users shouldn’t have to take action to secure their accounts, according to a blog post on Thursday.

Of course, this is one thing that Bitwarden would not have lost, as their source code is already open source, but it is also why you don’t want to have any backdoors (otherwise that would have been wide open).
