Hopefully they do better with this than when they bought Hamachi. It was a great piece of easy-config VPN software, and they just ruined it.

I knew a lot of people who used it regularly. Now I can't think of any.

Anyone aware of good alternatives? Primarily for enterprise customers who want to share passwords between teams.

We have developers, and regular ol' employees who use this of varying levels of computer comfort. We need to be able to share passwords org-wide and team-wide.

And on a personal note, I need to be able to manage my own passwords and my partner's and we share from time to time.

:( Hamachi quickly went to hell. I bet they use the tech Hamachi provided but the product was scrapped afaik.

Looks like Dashlane ($40) and Sticky Password ($20) are viable alternatives. Both are more expensive than Lastpass. Reading the reviews, these seem like the best so far. Anyone with experience on either of these they can share?

Linux?

They have browser extensions, so you can use it through that way on Linux it seems. https://agilebits.com/onepassword/extensions/

"IMPORTANT: This extension requires 1Password 4 for Mac or Windows", so I guess not.

I use opensource keepass. Sync my password db via dropbox. Totally works for me.

Using Dropbox for Security seems like a oxymoron? I fail to see that as anything I am willing to use.

I store the private keyfile outside of Dropbox. To me it's a very acceptable tradeoff.

Well looks like I'm going to have to convince, my wife, family, extended family, and friends that they all have to switch password managers now. I'm blown away, I've been a fan since day one because of it's simplicity and availability. I am torn between waiting to see what happens and giving them the benefit of the doubt and just changing all my passwords before Logmein can f--- me.

I don't know why this guy is being downvoted. I, too, am now looking for a new password manager. All I need one is that does local decrypting only, supports Chrome and Firefox, and can do Android as well.
