Anecdotal and personal opinion, but I believe that it has. I've been a LastPass user since February 2014. I used to pay for the annual subscription because it was required to use their phone apps, but now that it isn't I find no benefit to the paid subscription, especially given how poorly some thing seem to be working.
The user experience with extensions for different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) is inconsistent. Menus look and behave differently. Some options are present (and turned on by default) in one browser's extension and absent in another. For example, Firefox's extension opens the vault every time you log in unless you uncheck a box, so if you're at a password field ready to login, LastPass decides to just get in your way.
But by far the most infuriating part for me has been the iOS app. For the past few months this is what I have to go through to use it:
1.) Open app
2.) Enter password
3.) Scan fingerprint
4.) Start looking for what I want to find
5.) App logs me out after about 30 seconds for no perceivable reason
6.) Enter password
7.) Scan fingerprint
8.) I'm now logged in, but the vault is completely empty
9.) Force close the app
10.) Open the app
11.) Enter password
12.) Scan fingerprint
13.) Finally get what I want
I really do want to switch to something else, preferably self hosted, but I haven't been able to set aside the time to do the research and export/import what I have in LastPass currently.
- HenryBemis 10y agoMy experience (with the risk appetite and settings to match said appetite): 1) open app 2) scan fingerprint 3) search "ycomb.." (which limits my results to HN account) 4) tap/copy password --------------------------------------- 5) switch to HN 6) login to HN to write this comment 7) ok I lied I wrote this on my laptop, but still..!! I was also scared when they were bought but no tragedies so far.
- jawon 10y agoI've been using the iOS app since it came out and have never had a problem with it. TouchID integration has been a godsend.
- iamatworknow 10y agoNot sure what would be causing my issues then. It's only been happening for the past two or three months on my 6S Plus.
