never used them but just went to their website and concluded it's some novice programmer who has no skill and wants to make a business around software so after

  They're a relatively well-known company, currently owned by LogMeIn, though that seems like it will be changing. It's definitely not some solo person's side project or anything. They're one of the most well-known names (whether good or bad) in the password manager category. While they have had security trouble in the past- they're big enough that it's not surprising at all to me that many people, including those on HN, are their customers. I would also not be surprised if they lose a chunk of tech-savvy customers over this- as they should.

  Kind of a poor way to judge a product, I'd say. I'm no longer a lastpass user but if you read up on them you'll find that your initial assessment is way off. They've had their issues but the idea of it being built by a novice programmer is very far from reality.

    I use a trivial program that manages a list of passwords generated using /dev/urandom constrained to simple ascii chars and provides basic features like copying it to clipboard to avoid shoulder surfing. It took an hour to write 10 years ago. and judging software from how bullshit their website front page is has not failed me a single time in the last 20 years. my predictions of what vulns they have is always spot on. im not interested in your (HN's) definition of reality as they still think string injection attacks are fundamentally hard to solve
