DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License Guest:
If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.
Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
It was great to hear that on the Podcast, also funny to hear Leo tiptoe around the "Other" password manager and how he's ditched it.and it is with great interest that Bitwarden is now a sponsor on the Twit network, specifically Security Now
Good luck to Lastpass (Logmein), but I'm glad to be rid of that rollercoaster of a company.
I switched to KeepassXC for Linux, but it doesn't have syncing or mobile, and it's buggy on the login fill. So I switched to Bitwarden free, which has multi-device syncing and mobile versions. It is also open source. You can run your own sync server, which will become necessary when Bitwarden is sold.
So it actually doesn't bother me (much) that I have to choose between only using it between PC & mobile since I've used it alongside another PW manager (LogMeOnce). I've decided I no longer need to use LP on mobile since I can just keep using LogMeOnce on mobile.
What bothers me now w/ using LP on PC is that LP has seemed to become useless now. It used to be able to do form-filling (like for entering sweepstakes and entering in my address) but now it doesn't seem to do that anymore. Has that feature been taken away in the FREE version too?

I don't use that feature, so I am unsure. Reading this page https://support.logmeininc.com/last...-experience-why-cant-i-find-my-form-fill-data it seems like maybe there is a some silly step you need to take to make it work [again].
I am in a similar position. I was using LP well before LMI bought them and gladly paid the annual price to have LP premium. Over the years I have started to have issues with LP and their support is not good at all. If I were using the free tier the poor support experience would be somewhat understood, but you'd think the paid LP users would get better support (or even slightly better), but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I use LP at work, as well, but have a separate work account. I'm not experiencing the same LP issues with my work account so I know the issue I'm having with my personal account is a browser issue, caching issue, etc...something specific to my account and not the actual LP service, however, I've done everything their support has told me to do (one ticket took about 90 days to get a 3rd reply from LP) and the issue is still there.
I am done waiting for LP, I am going to slowly stop using the service and I am going to switch to something else.
I was glad to hear Steve and Leo talk about LP and how great of a company it was (prior to the LMI purchase) and that Steve spoke with the LP founder and was very happy with how LP handled security/encryption/etc.
I know Steve hasn't had a chance and won't have time to vet all password managers, but based on what I hear on the podcast and read on forums, it looks like 1Password and Bitwarden are the two I'll be looking at.
I pulled the plug on LP when it was first announced they were changing. Moved to Bitwarden.
No regrets at all ...

Same situation here, although it took me a while to evaluate the alternatives. The transition was painless and quick. I have only experienced one issue where the password is auto entered in a secondary screen that is asking a security question. This is likely a miscoded web site.
Making the switch also introduced me to Authy which I am now using for 2FA with four other accounts.
