I am giving Sticky Password a try, it doesn't seem to bad but i still prefer LastPass so i am hoping it stays around as a freeware.

Same here. True Key doesn't allow importing (or work that well for that matter). Sticky Password doesn't have 2 step authentication. I cleared out my account on LastPass but didn't delete. I'm probably going to bite the bullet and just keep using it and hope LogMeIn doesn't screw something up. I'd imagine the old team is still working on it. They just probably have people barking orders to include some kind of remote desktop crap that not many will use. Xmarks is owned by LastPass so I'd imagine that is also with LogMeIn. I refuse to stop using that. Best bookmark sync tool that I've ever used. And it's free and has free backup like LastPass.

It will probably take a year for LastPass to even remotely change so I guess I can worry about this later on. I just got more RAM so I shouldn't be complaining about Sticky Password using the RAM of an AV all the time but I find it ridiculous. LastPass barely touches RAM and it only runs when the browser is running.

Let see this changes, by checking a brief of company background hence it seems to be worthy although a case of patent infringement occur way back on 2008.

Lastpass one of the reliable password manager out there and that should take care the reputation and its known performance in terms of encryption.

Has anyone got any ideas of how to get Sticky Password or DashLane to work in Cyberfox and SlimJet, they both work fine on FireFox but how to add other browsers.

Unfortunately I already uninstalled it and started using LastPass again. Sometimes programs have an xpi file (Firefox add on installer) or a crx (Chrome extension installer) which you'd be able to either find the file using the browser or drag and drop to install it. Typically they are directly in the directory where the program was installed.

Would surprise me if they got rid of any free versions as with Meldium that was acquired september 2014 still have a free version also I personal don't worry about what will happen with LastPass...quote: " In the near-term, both the Meldium and LastPass product lines will continue to be supported, with longer-term plans to center around a singular identity management offering based on the LastPass service and brand.

Oh Snap ! I just got Comodo to white-list LastPass publisher - Marvasol Inc - in Trusted Vendor List (TVL). If LogMeIn changes publisher name then I have to re-submit.

Submitting files and vendors to Comodo for white-listing is a never-ending chore...

If you don't believe me, ask @Malware1.

Moved from Lastpass to Blur. So far so good It does support 2 step authentication & importing from other password managers.. yet doesn't work with Lastpass, and its extension is a bit laggy on Chrome

Yes Blur works quite well for me also, been busy logging in everywhere and letting Blur save all my passwords.

Source: LogMeIn buys LastPass password manager for $110 million

The maker of LastPass, a popular password manager, is being acquired by LogMeIn in a sale worth at least $110 million.

LastPass, founded in 2008, makes software that generates strong passwords and stores them in anencrypted vault. The software integrates with desktop and mobile browsers and automatically fills in password fields on websites when a user enters a master password. The basic software can be used for free, but individual users and businesses can pay for premium features.

LastPass CEO and cofounder Joe Siegrist wrote today that his company is "excited to join LogMeIn in delivering the next generation of identity and access management for individuals, teams and companies, with LastPass at the forefront."

Siegrist wrote that LastPass will continue to improve its software for free, premium, and enterprise customers. Siegrist's blog post drew a few dozen comments, with most expressing disappointment about the sale and criticizing LogMeIn. "While I congratulate the lastpass founders on a nice exit, we as an Enterprise user will monitor very carefully if that impacts the pricing," one customer wrote. "There’s a reason we never used LogMeIn, because they’re not delivering appropriate value for SMBs at their price points."

LogMeIn provides remote desktop management and support software to individuals and businesses. The company discontinued a free version of its product last year.

LogMeIn's announcement said it will close the deal with LastPass in the coming weeks, paying $110 million in cash upon close with an additional $15 million in payments to equity holders and key employees of LastPass contingent on reaching "certain milestone and retention targets" in the two years after the acquisition.

“LastPass has a great business, a beloved and award winning product, millions of loyal users, and thousands of great business customers—they are synonymous with the category,” LogMeIn CEO Michael Simon said in the announcement. “We believe this transaction instantly gives us a market leading position in password management, while also providing a highly favorable foundation for delivering the next generation of identity and access management solutions to individuals, teams and companies.”

Last year, LogMeIn acquired a password manager for teams called Meldium, with the promise that Meldium would continue to provide the same service. With LogMeIn's latest acquisition, Meldium capabilities will be integrated into LastPass. "In the near-term, both the Meldium and LastPass product lines will continue to be supported, with longer-term plans to center around a singular identity management offering based on the LastPass service and brand," LogMeIn said.
