Lastpass acquired by Citrix
- chayesfss 10y agoYou mean logmein? Lastpass was purchased in 2015 I thought
- dabernathy89 10y agoLastpass was purchased by LogMeIn, but yeah, strange way to word the title.
- cuonic 10y agoI think you mean LogMeIn has been acquired by Citrix, no ?
- PTRFRLL 10y agoJust to clarify, LogMeIn (which owns LastPass) is merging with Citrix
- barkingcat 10y agoThis is incorrect.
- supernovae 10y agoAnd i'll stick with the service.. last time the world freaked out and guess what.. NOTHING Happened.. actually, it improved and some paid features (mobile) became free.
- mdekkers 10y agoI found the service significantly decreased when LP was purchased by Logmein, and I expect nothing good to come from Citrix now owning LP. I have had an enterprise subscription for many years, but will now look at an alternative. Any suggestions?
- yalooze 10y agoIf you don't run Linux I would highly recommend 1Password. Great browser integration, great mobile clients. I've been using it for years and can't knock it.
- evaluniverse 10y agoI personally use 1password because I liked their explanation of their security approach, but from what I've seen LastPass looks better. Way easier to fill in passwords on mobile, and 1password is rough around the edges in a couple of annoying but not fatal ways.
- jscheel 10y agoI'd love to hear what has gone downhill for you. I was initially really worried about it, but haven't seen anything terrible personally.
- tmikaeld 10y agoSame here, I actually think it's more user friendly now and it fills the fields at higher correctness than before. Maybe he is still on version 3x? You can choose that in the settings.
- barkingcat 10y agomisleading headline. Logmein, the owner of Lastpass, is acquiring a subsidiary of Citrix called GetGo (GoTo... products) that was spun out. The new company is called Logmein, and has legally less to do with Citrix than even before! Wonder why the poster chose that particular phrasing (acquired) because it was Logmein (parent of Lastpass) that was doing the buying: https://www.logmeininc.com/about-us/faq https://www.logmeininc.com/about-us/faq What are the financial details of the transaction? As part of the merger agreement, Citrix spun off its wholly owned subsidiary, GetGo, which then merged with a subsidiary of LogMeIn. LogMeIn issued an estimated 27.3 million shares of LogMeIn common stock to Citrix equity holders in connection with the merger. The transaction is valued at approximately $1.8 billion based on shares to be issued and LogMeIn’s closing price of $65.31 as of July 25, 2016, the date on which the merger was first announced. What's the name of the merged company? The name of the new combined company is LogMeIn, Inc.
- rpazyaquian 10y agoThat sounds like the headline is less misleading, and just plain incorrect.

- tonylucas 10y agoCitrix has spun out the Goto* products, and that's what has merged with LogMeIn. Citrix hasn't bought LastPass Citrix hasn't merged directly with LogMeIn, it's still a separate company.
