LastPass command-line interface tool

This is great. Only question is, how can they justify charging $12/yr for mobile/Premium access when anyone can write a full featured iOS/Android app using this code as a template? All the right endpoints are there, 2FA support, local encryption code etc.

I know that their API was reverse engineered a million times already, but this just seems like they are explicitly enabling copycat apps.

There's presumably a pretty strong lock-in effect where I might trust Lastpass, but I wouldn't trust some random app author with literally all my passwords no matter what assurances the app download page provides.

For me, the reverse is true.

I would rather trust an app running locally behind my firewall than I would trust lastpass. If the app tries to sneak a copy of my passwords out of the network its going to have to find a way through the outbound firewall first. I have no such protection when using last pass.

$12/year. $12. Twelve. Dollars.
