>moved over pretty early on (paid account is only $10/yr)

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?
