Whew, I was on the fence between this and 1Password after Mitro shut down, just a couple days ago... Glad I went with 1Password LOL
Been using 1Password for years now... those guys are super committed to their software, I really like their product.

#182For anyone thinking about jumping to KeePass - consider the fact that they're still hosted at SourceForge.
That's a major red flag for me and I've been keeping my eye out for an alternative for a while now.

#183https://passopolis.com/ - I'm using this (formerly known as Mitro) Open source
I see a bunch of lame commits like changing logos and names and no actual work on mitro -- not sure how encouraging that is, since you've already jumped at changing the name and making a company around it.

#184Assuming your passwords are in a "stable" state (i.e. you're not constantly adding new logins to your vault), it would probably be a good idea at this point to make a backup of LastPass's database via the Export feature and hold onto that backup. I know I'm on the paranoid end, but I have this sneaking suspicion that the Export feature might "disappear" in the coming months to try to curtail a mass exodus of users.
I think that's unlikely, given how they handled the expiration of the Free LogMeIn accounts.

#185First off, congrats to the LastPass team! You guys have built an awsrome product and company.
My hope now is that LastPass won't go down the same path as Meldium, after they were acquired by logmein; the product went downhill very quickly.
In the case of Meldium, it seems they were trying to improve the UI by improving the design at the expense of functionality. It feels like LastPass is in a similar position now.

#186As someone who recently jumped from Lastpass to 1Password... I wish them the best, but I feel I'm working with the far superior product. Especially on iOS + OS x.
Re: LogMeIn acquires Lastpass
#187Huh. 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.
Am I missing something or is there really not a linux client?

This means there's a point where they get all sorts of data on me, and while I personally don't mind, I must admit I felt a bit safer when I thought it was a smaller, purpose-built company managing things." I've never really understood the appeal of account-based password managers. It was a startup and it needed a business model, sure, so from the company's perspectiv…
Agreed. Logically, something like KeepassX ( https://www.keepassx.org/ ) is the most logical, secure choice. I think a lot of people pick Lastpass and such for the convenience of browser integration, but I don't think that's necessarily impossible with keepassx - just so happens that nobody is really working on it (which is a shame).
An important thing is that LastPass works on mobile.

I've been a serious 1Password user for ~3 years. Love it. Mac OSX app, and Chrome plugin are amazing. It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it. However - don't think about using 1Password if you're on a windows machine - their windows app is really janky and works just enough to be usable
Re: LogMeIn acquires Lastpass
#190Anyone 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.
Can anyone enlighten me on when sharing passwords between teams is necessary? It seems to me as though it's always a bad idea because people leave and it's generally possible for everyone to have their own account.
