Log us out: Private equity snaffles Lastpass owner LogMeIn

Are you worried?

If you are worried about your data in LastPass or the cloud - then read this article https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2019/04/10/what-happened-when-the-dea-demanded-passwords-from-lastpass/

It seems 90% of the people in this thread - and the writer of this article - did not do their homework or know anything about how AES-256 bit encryption works... shame that the industry is dominated by people who do not understand the basic principles of encryption and cryptography.

Saying that open source is better is just ridiculous. Most people compile opensource in compilers that have in-built backdoors added to the code they are compiling for crypto mining or other ransomware and adware. 95% of the people do not check their compiler or code and therefore all of you using OpenSource software just because "its better" are way off the real world of security products. Good luck!

LastPass? More like lost pass. Or where the fsck has it gone pass. Five-hour outage drives netizens bonkers

Re: Moral of the story: Nothing in the cloud?

Except all your money, emails, pictures, contacts, government and personal details, all your location history and information, all your relatives pictures, details, data and your own backups. But passwords are the problem here :-D this just made me laugh!

And you break that one password you get access to all. Smart move!

My grandpa always said

He always mentioned that online news and articles would never be a thing and yet here we are...! I logged into my LP account no problem today, offline worked on both my Mobile App and Browser Ext. I see some of the contents about offline Pwd managers that you can maintain and manage yourself with no online sync... I am old enough to remember times when people wanted to run their own servers because Gmail and Outlook had issues and yet here we are now! Write them down in a notebook as long as you are at it...! Im staying with free for life LP ;-)
