I'd really love for some objective person to weigh in about why all the negative reaction to this. Is LogMeIn a terrible company? I have not used either LogMeIn or LastPass.
Some of these tools (1Password in particular) seem geared toward individual password management. And LastPass wasn't exactly user-friendly. What are you using for group/team password management?

> "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 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…
But if an attacker steals your Keepass file and acquires your password you won't notice. Lastpass can detect logins from new IP adresses and throttle requests, send warning mails etc. But sure, once their servers are cracked and their plugin is infected with master-password-stealing code it's all game over.
This, Duo integration and Linux support are the features that are making finding an alternative to LastPass difficult for me.

Having not used anything by Logmein or heard much about them, what's the reasoning behind wanting to jump ship asap? Are they just bad at running a company or are you scared they will sell your data or similar?
LogMeIn is used by those phone scammers who ring up and say "We have detected a Windows Virus on your machine and are here to help". They then convince the mark to let them start a session, then surreptitiously download data from their machine using a back channel. (LogMeIn lets you share screens, but also access the filesystem in another panel and the other side can't see). When you complain to LogMeIn and give them…

Been using it for years on multiple machines and iOS devices. Works great, and I happily pay for it every once in a while. I'd rather support a small company dedicated to this, than get a cheap product from a corporation with unclear goals.
Hi jwr, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. Thanks so much for appreciating our dedication to our product. Security is incredibly important to us and we take the quality of our work very seriously.
Eva - love your company and product, but you're spamming HN with this stuff. Update your profile to disclose your affiliation, up-vote the comments praising 1Password if you want, and answer questions candidly. Happy to see company reps participating in the conversation!
Just kill the "Hi so-in-so" and the boilerplate "I am Eva...". If all you have to say is thank you, upvote and leave it at that - your posts are taking up like 50% of the article commentary...

The explanation was easily inferred. Not a huge fan of your interpretation.
What's your explanation then?
I won't be doing that.

I actually did an evaluation of password storage services recently and chose LastPass over 1Password for a couple reasons: 1. 1Password is SUPER expensive for what it is. You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac. 2. It has no enterprise level features (This is for my organization) such as user management, access logging and fine grained roles and sharing. 1Password might be good for…
"You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac." Aren't those exactly the kind of things I'd want to pay for-- rather than opting for a cheaper solution that doesn't have those features?

$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.

I know the popular thing is to blame LogMeIn, but it would be very expensive to chase down the scammers. And, law enforcement is very likely to not give a shit, too. So, if the did what you said, likely it would be wasted effort.
