Some time ago LastPass automatically DELETED my five-year old account on Mendeley.
The "AutoFill" option of LastPass was turned on. I was browsing my profile settings on Mendeley. Somehow LastPass automatically commenced the account removal action, filled in my password, and confirmed the prompt. My account was gone.
I did NOT EVEN NOTICE when it happened. The only reason I know it now is because I managed to reproduce this behavior with a new account. I reproduced it one month later, after exchanging multiple nervous emails with Mendeley Support.
The potential for abuse of LastPass is huge. The hope is that LastPass will get better after this acquisition.
