Huh. Gotta admit, I'm rather distressed by this, but I'm trying to think through it logically. * They still don't have access to my raw passwords. Everything's already encrypted before it gets to them, and they don't have the key. They just store the encrypted data. * They however do control access to the account. This means there's a point where they get all sorts of data on me, and while I personally don't mind, I…

This isn't quite a reason to jump ship for me yet, but I'll certainly be duplicating work to other services(which so far, I've found to be quite inferior). Did you try 1Password (which works with Dropbox, Wifi sync, etc.)? Not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.

70€ is quite expensive

Lastpass premium customer here. It was $12/yr. (that will probably change after the 2yr/$15M target is over) Right now lastpass encrypts in the browser and the company only saves a binary blob that they can't access. So your data is safe. But they said, "As we become part of the LogMeIn family over the next several months, we’ll be releasing updates to LastPass, introducing new features.." that makes me nervous. The…

KeePass apps are usually open source. Presumably some smart devs can contribute such Android support to an Android KeePass app.

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

Oh great! I've been using lastpass for a long time, I might've just overlooked this at the time.

I tried it for all of a week in the past. It's the top one I'm looking at moving to, but honestly the reviews that have been done by users of both are lacking on information, so I don't know what I'm giving up.

Seconded, a really amazing UI and UX with security at the forefront. Not to mention the apps are updated often to take advantage of the latest iOS and OS X features (they support other platforms but I don't use those apps).

I was a longtime LastPass user and switched to 1Password about 6 months ago and have been really impressed by it.

Very happy user of 1password here, features, UX and overall ethos of Agilebits are to be commended

+1 for 1password. Best password management software out there.
