Click-bait headline. But there’s information that I hadn’t realized. LastPass is a PE owned company.

Yes, probably not the best headline, but I wanted to keep the original.

A bit off-topic but those "Francisco Partners" ringed a bell. They are the same idiots who bought Verifone in France, fired everyone, and expected outsourced developers to understand and use a 20 years old codebase with specifications and requirements (multiple PDFs with more than 2000 pages) written in French.

If it happened to LastPass, I now understand why they have so much problems.
