I felt like they weren't above board previously with pricing. It wasn't fraud but IIRC prices got a big jump that was timed to be in combination with some kind of defacto mandatory upgrade. It had a bait and switch feel to it and at the time the family price across multiple devices seemed too high.

- WhitneyLand 10y agoThat's cool, but the problem is most software is not safe to use unless it's actively maintained and offering updates from at least a security perspective. So I don't consider that a realistic approach for most people, especially for something as mission critical as password management.
- tripzilch 10y agoYou just can't really expect proprietary software to be actively maintained indefinitely for a one-time fee. Add to the financial (and ego-) incentives to downplay security issues, I really don't think people should consider anything but open source password managers.
