Give okeylabs a look. Not out yet but for the future.
Does it work with Linux, Windows or Android?
Seems like the alpha is only for Apple products, I read that their next step is to support Windows and Android
LogMeIn acquires Lastpass

Re: LogMeIn acquires Lastpass
#332Call me naive, but I created a change.org petition to try and make the voice of concerned users heard: https://www.change.org/p/lastpass-leadership-lastpass-stay-i...
Even if this petition accumulates hundreds of thousands of signatures, what should happen? The sale has been announced, which means that, but for regulatory approval (if any), it is done: The owners of LastPass have agreed to terms and have signed contracts indicating this, contracts that are binding.
Were they to change their minds LogMeIn could in all likelihood sue both LastPass and the owners of LastPass, personally and severally, for breach of contract and for a number of other things.
No government will interfere either, as few if any governments will assert that they know both a business's business and the needs of that business's customers better than the business itself - not to mention because of the precedent it could set and uncertainty it could engender.
The best response of concerned customers is one, research, and two, should the research so indicate, voting with their feet and either saying put or moving to another service.

#333This 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…
Dashlane looks really promising. Does anyone here have experience with it? Does it work as smoothly everywhere as LastPass did?
I use Dashlane, it is better but is not quite there yet in terms of multi-user support.

#334I had to find out about this from HN. Never got an email, even being a premium member.
I got an email, and then saw this post on HN...and then backed up and deleted my account. Wasn't going to renew anyways, just happened to be perfect timing.

$12 a year vs. a one-time purchase. Just for clarification purposes.
I use LastPass on Android, Windows and OS X, that means at least $80.
Then by all means, please continue trusting a complete database of the most valuable information in your life to the lowest bidder.

#336If you're looking to change your password manager, I've been using `pass` [0] for years now, and it's one of he best open source project I have ever used. Everything works, it uses git for remote storage and gpg for encryption. There is no fancy browser plugin, but a command line to get the password is enough, since browsers cache the password afterwards and most sites use long lived sessions through cookies. And the…
I can second this - I've been using it for about a year now, and it's fantastic. I'm able to store password history in git, and automatically sync it between all of my machines, using a private GitHub repo for backup.

If it's for an organization you should probably use KeePass, as all the data is kept locally by the organization. Allowing any third party access to sensitive passwords sounds like a bad idea.
I prefer KeePassX instead, so keep it in mind as well. While I wish there was an official version for mobile and it integrated into the browser, I almost like the separation as I've gotten used to it.
Be happy there is no mobile version. I don't know about you but I personally can't trust a mobile phone this days with anything sensitive. :(

I use opensource keepass. Sync my password db via dropbox. Totally works for me.
Are there plugins for safari/firefox/chrome and does it work on ios and have a nice little cli? I'm basically preparing to bail on lastpass with this news but need to have all my bases covered.
Yes there is a plugin for Firefox. Don't know about the others.

#339My first reaction to reading the title was "why?" After reading the article (and then reading it again) I'm not left feeling confident that this is in any way positive for me as a LastPass Premium and Xmarks customer. In particular the vague line about, "As we become part of the LogMeIn family over the next several months, we’ll be releasing updates to LastPass, introducing new features..." To me, LastPass is feature…
LogMeIn purchased, and absolutely ruined, Hamachi back in 2006. That program was the perfect lightweight virtual LAN client in existence with all the necessary features. Within months of acquisition, Hamachi had several "updates" and became bloated beyond recognition, slow, buggy, and downright unreliable. I have the worst taste in my mouth from what LogMeIn did to a perfectly working product and won't use anything t…
Yeah, they really ruined Hamachi. There isn't really a suitable replacement even now, to the best of my knowledge. I still resent them for that.
I hope they don't ruin LastPass also, but from here on out I'll be intensely skeptical.

#340FWIW, regarding the ongoing complaints about the LP UI, they just released a beta update to their chrome extension a couple days ago. Still a ways to go, but they are/have been clearly working on the end user experience. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lastpass-prebuild-...
I haven't had that much complaint about the chrome ext. What do people not like about it?
