yes in US$ 12 vs 40+ dollar for single user

$12 a year vs. a one-time purchase. Just for clarification purposes.

One time purchase until the next major upgrade, then you need to pay more to stay up-to-date.

There is an official 1Password version for Windows: https://agilebits.com/onepassword/windows They also have bundled licenses for both platforms.

Just a note - the 1Password Mac app is MILES ahead of the 1Password app. I've been using both for about 3 years now, and the separation is only getting larger. 1Password is smooth, fast, and fluid on Mac OSX. 1Password works, but is none of those on Windows.

There is 1Password Windows Modern Alpha[1] which so far looks very promising. It's still not very suitable for a day to day use though. (Screenshot: click "Getting started" in the forum, then "Windows 10 Store")

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. gratuitous- uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted. I feel that my comment falls into what I consider a fair statement about the severity of the situation. They have my passwords and could easily hike up their rates. This change may add features I didn't know I wanted, but thus far I'm happy with the way L…

This comment meets the standard. Negativity without any explanation was the issue. Thanks for clarifying.

The explanation was easily inferred. Not a huge fan of your interpretation.

What about Password Safe "Passwddsafe" I use it om my computer and android and I'm very satisfied. And of course the fact that is designed by Bruce Schneier is a plus for me.

I can't exactly agree with you. First, lots of acquisitions are good for the user because they often mean backing by a larger entity with deeper pockets, ensuring that the service you use will be around for longer. 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 passwor…

> 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. Because I not only paid US$12,00 to them, but I have also invested time and thought in building habits and procedures based on their service. If they their serv…

OK, but why do they owe you anything for the time you chose to spend with their product? In fact by repeatedly using their product you subtract from their bottom line since you are consuming computing and support resources. As far as I see it, $12 buys you a one year LastPass subscription, not a perpetual right to be consulted on any corporate moves they might make. Practically, you probably have a bit more say than a free user would about the product features, but not nearly as much as one of their team members.

In short, while this change to LastPass might not be good for you (or me) in the long run, I don't see why they'd have any responsibility to consult you or me about whether to sell to LogMeIn. We are customers, not shareholders.

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.

KeePass [ http://keepass.info/ ] has worked well for me across Firefox and Android, though I haven't tried it on Chrome.

What do you mean when saying that KeePass works for Firefox?
