Is there a password manager that allows mass or bulk password changes?

I don’t have fricking time to change 75+ passwords on individual websites.

Password Manager Pro handles our root admin password changes on a lot of servers. Will it push to websites?

I use LastPass on all my browsers and phones. Uses a master password, can turn on Authenticator on your phone(google authenticator app). Can have SMS protect etc. Works great and I love it. It has helped me many times after I setup a new PC and need to get back into all my website and programs to install/setup new PC. Plus it lets me use very complicated random passwords for important things like my banking so it won't be guessed by someone. There's a free and paid plan depending how you want to use it. I have done fine with the free version for years now.

Not aware of one that has bulk password changes. Avoid Lastpass.

I dropped Lastpass and moved to 1Password after the insane Lastpass data breach.

Talk about being behind times.

I left 1Password long ago.

Went to something much better.

I don’t think there’s an app that will do this for you

I like Keeper Security. Bitwarden is also good if you want a free option. It was a PIA to change all passwords after the Lastpass breach as I was using that at the time.

You have time to recreate your system after being hacked?
Take the time and change your passwords.

It took me a solid 3 hours to change all my passwords one time. There has to be a better way. 2FA with my fingerprint and a text message - no password - make it happen.

LastPass could change passwords on most websites in an automated fashion. I use BitWarden now, which cannot do this.

I suggest importing your vault into LastPass, running the process to mass change those passwords passwords, then export the vault into your vault of choice, and delete the LastPass vault. I'm not as down on LastPass as most, but to each their own.

However, the varying password rules of even mainstream sites are so shitty (no longer than 12 characters, no longer than 16, must include special characters but not !$ or &, no repeating characters, etc.) that you may have to change a bunch of them by hand anyway.

SMS is notoriously vulnerable being used as MFA. I've got FIDO keys which I haven't used in years. I have nine MFA apps installed on my phone at this moment, two for work, the rest personal.

How do you feel about the mainstream sites that won't let you either autofill or cut and paste a password, and you have to type in the 26 character auto generated password by hand? That's for sure increased security, right baws?

Change your master password for any password manager to about 32 characters. Will never be cracked. Then go in and change those 75 passwords one time and you will be good. Also, please, please, please make all 75 passwords DIFFERENT. Also, since you are using a password manager you don't have to remember them. Make those passwords phrases.

A little pain but if you don't follow certain security measures no password manager is safe.
