That's a lot of unhappy comments already.

Yeah, time to search for alternatives.

I've not read anything particularly terrible about LogMeIn. I'll wait to see what effect this has on LastPass pricing. Dashlane is about three times the price at the moment, so I'll hold fire for now.

The Register has just released an article about LogMeIn and its LastPass acquisition (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/02/password_manager_get_out_options/), it covers why people are angry and looks at alternatives.

I guess it will have to be Dashlane although it's a rip off price compared to the alternatives, and could itself get bought at any point. For now I'm happy to stick with Lastpass. I'm going to ignore Dick from the Internet (http://dilbert.com/series/67-Dick-from-the-Internet) and his foaming rants and see what happens. After two months with their new owners, it seems not much at all, so far.
