Wonder if now is the time to look at alternatives, before the service potentially changes. I hear a lot of good things about 1Password, which seems to work for my iPhone/MacBook. Anyone know if there's a reasonable option for using it on Windows?
I chose 1Password because it works seamlessly across iPhone/MacBook/Windows. https://agilebits.com/onepassword/windows
This really rubs me the wrong way. Do not like the idea of my password manager bouncing around owners. Or infrastructure changes that new owners often push on the acquired company. If there's one business I REALLY do not want to be moving about, and I want as little churn as possible for, it's a password manager. The thing I liked about LastPass was that it seemed like the highly geeky, less startupy approach to pass…
These acquisition announcements are always the same, and always get the same sort of comments. They tell of good fortune for the owners of the thing that has been sold, but never tell the users what's in it for them. And that's usually because there is nothing in it for them. What am I supposed to be happy about?
Second, why do they owe you anything? Either you are a free user, at which point you don't really have a whole lot of say in what they do with their own company, or you are paying $12 for a stellar password manager, which I would say is definitely worth it.
I am not exactly a fan of LogMeIn, and I do really like LastPass and use it every day, but if they chose to sell their company and cash out, good for them. If the service somehow becomes bad, I will move onto one of many alternatives, though this time probably an open source one.

So, use an open source one.
What Open Source one was a convenient or as feature complete? Serious I love LastPass and I use it for everything BUT my banking. I just install the plugin on any device or open the webpage and I am all set with all my passwords.
For me, I use a plaintext file in a Truecrypt archive because I'm a massive dweeb.
There are times when it might be better to disable comments on your corporate blog. This was one of those times.

Highly useful to be able to have access groups like "team" (everyone, things like Zendesk) "team-secure" (stuff with CC's, like Amazon), "dev" (general dev accounts), and "dev-secure" (compose.io access and the like).
Makes it way faster to onboard new folks, and when people leave, to cleanly strip access and change passwords.
The open source tools don't solve for those kinds of use cases, as far as I know. Just "I have one computer, and want to store my passwords on that one computer."
