I'd really love for some objective person to weigh in about why all the negative reaction to this. Is LogMeIn a terrible company? I have not used either LogMeIn

  I'm curious as well.

  IMO not all that LogMeIn is a good/bad company, it's that LastPass was sold. Their (your) data is being moved from one company to another. It's certainly possible that LogMeIn stays hands-off and LastPass continues all operations exactly as they did before, but then why would LastPass sell? LogMeIn paid $x money for LastPass, and they intend to make $x + $y money for it, by doing things that LastPass was either unable or unwilling to do (otherwise, LastPass wouldn't have sold). Usually this means that LogMeIn is going to try to "extract more value" from the customer.

  I don't really know but I'm surprised people liked using the thing to begin with. Always struck me as junky.

  I can't speak for others, but the headline make my guts tighten. I personally experienced bad ethics from LogMeIn when trying to report those "We have detected a windows virus on a computer in your house" scammers.

  Personally for me, I just can't trust a none security focused enterprise, running a security focused product. I just know that priorities will slowly change from security first to some random not so secure feature. Additionally, LastPass did good job in disclosure of security incidents in the past. I'm pretty sure this won't happen now that they are tied with this big brand name which thinks that publishing security incidents is bad for its PR. Bottom line - It's a matter of trust for me, and I don't trust them.
