LP has a history of problems, but my company forces us to use that crappy product. I've complained about it for years. I use keepassx for personal, 1password for work, and lastpass for anything that I need to share with coworkers. I always wondered who got the kickback from LP.

>LP has a history of problems, but my company forces us to use that crappy product. I've been using them the better part of a decade, I've never had an issue and find calling it a 'crappy product' to be shocking. What sort of issues have you had?

  LastPass is riddled with problems, and the quality has dropped precipitously since their acquisition by LogMeIn. For a sampling of their problems I suggest searching this site for their name. https://hn.algolia.com/?q=lastpass https://hn.algolia.com/?q=lastpass

    I’ve used them for a long time. I noticed zero change in the service.

      Ok man if it works for you then keep on keeping on. I have chosen to leave the service due to a huge drop in reliability and several major security and service incidents.

  Before I switched to another password manager, LP has: - constantly managed to lose newly generated passwords - consistently failed to register new passwords with the Safari extension - failed to autofill credentials on many websites I had used LP for years, but these problems never went away despite these being a failure of core functionality. After I finally switched to an alternative password manager, I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything seemed to work in addition to a much nicer UI. In LP's defense, it's great that they offer such an important service for free, but I'd really prefer my password manager to be of more higher quality.
