In 2016 the company acquired GoToMyPC, the largest competitor to LogMeIn, and subsequently raised the pricing on that service. The company eliminated it’s free account offering of the popular remote control application by the same name in 2014. A large number of tech savvy users already scowl at the mention of LogMeIn. It seems that anytime a vendor takes away something that was free the Internet masses take to their media of choice to rail against the injustice. I currently have 763 passwords in my vault. A small cost for any IT professional that values their time (and productivity) and security in trying to keep the passwords for every application they use or every system they manage in their head.

At the time a LastPass premium account was $12/year. I’m a paying LastPass customer since 2013. I haven’t really mentioned LastPass since I first talked about them in December of 2014. The vast majority of videos and articles haven’t been kind to LastPass or their current owners, LogMeIn. It seems that everyone and anyone wants to talk about LastPass since their announcement on February 16th that they were going to limit their free tier product offering.
