LogMeIn Acquired by Private Equity

I'm a +1 on BitWarden, I moved over pretty early on (paid account is only $10/yr) due to their fantastic migration page telling me point blank "LastPass may screw up special characters exporting your data" and lo and behold, my initial export had a bunch of HTML entities injected just like they said. That disclosure/warning sold me right then and there: https://help.bitwarden.com/article/import-from-lastpass/

LastPass started as $1/month, which I thought was a great deal. I started using it in 2011, and never really paid attention to the fee.

Then, it got bought by LogMeIn, and in 2017 they upped the price to $2/month. Last year they upped it to $3/month ($39..that's when I noticed the charge). That's right: for 6 years it was one price, which tripled in 2 years without any enhancements as far as I could tell.

Needless to say, this will be my last year with their product. I'm using KeePass2 locally on my devices, and it seems to do what I need.

If anything the price increase came with an enormously slower plugin. I switched because it just pissed me off.

They also made mobile device access free when they raised the price to $2, making the premium version less necessary though.

How are you sure that your keepass 2 DB doesn't get corrupted while syncing it across devices?

I have a few access keys in my LastPass account that contain quotation marks as part of the secret.

Their web interface won't present the textarea field for me to copy the key for use. I'd have to resort to the export options to get the plaintext and Ctrl+F for the key.

They're AWS keys, so LogMeIn's own staff should've had the same gripes I have, but it's just not fixed yet.

I'm going to take a look at BitWarden and see if I can move over as a winter break task.

I did it in 20 minutes this morning, would highly recommend!
