LogMeIn Acquires LastPass Password Manager LastPass is one of the more well-known password managers out there. Now it's one that's joining LogMeIn. Both companies announced the acquisition earlier today. LogMeIn, despite having a name that already sounds like a password manager in its own right, is primarily known for its remote access software. From a corporate perspective, this sounds like a good match, but some people aren't so sure. LastPass users have filled the announcement post with negative comments expressing their disappointment. Several have complained of LogMeIn's bad customer service and price hikes. Given the sensitivity of the information LastPass holds on its servers, angst over this acquisition comes with another dimension. You really need to be able to trust the company that you're giving all of your passwords to. If you can't, well, folks with hundreds of credentials stored in the service won't have the most fun switching over to an alternative. Fortunately, those alternatives do exist. Folks looking for another password manager that works on Android can try 1Password or Dashlane. Folks who don't trust saving their information online can go with Enpass. And there's also the option to save your passwords in Chrome. Or, you know, you can wait to see how things go. Some acquisitions have a way of surprising you.
