Not sure i agree, they make it very easy to export your info/passwords and are just returning to a previous business model. As another user here commented, it only took 15 min to switch to another option.

curious how much time that would be
- jdauriemma 6y agoI'm sure some users will find an alternative solution and switch easily. I'm also sure that some users will not. My assumption - take it or leave it - is that the folks who would find this more inconvenient are those who were introduced to LastPass by more security-minded friend or family member. They aren't necessarily inclined or well-equipped to transition their devices over from one password manager to another. This may cause them to abandon password management altogether or do something dangerous like temporarily store their passwords in plain text while they find someone to help them transition to another product.
- CJefferson 6y agoI think 3 months is much more reasonable, at least. Doing this in the middle of a pandemic is actively hostile. My parents are using lastpass. I'm going to pay for a license for them until the pandemic is over for simplicity. As soon as I can physically visit them again I'm switching them over to something else in principle, and I'm changing to something else today (which includes cancelling my personal paid-for lastpass account).
