+1 Agree. Lastpass has great functionality imo, and I want a level headed analysis before I jump ship to a competitor.
I do wonder though if the change in ownership last year has led to a decline in quality.

The user experience with extensions for different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) is inconsistent. Menus look and behave differently. Some options are present (and turned on by default) in one browser's extension and absent in another. For example, Firefox's extension opens the vault every time you log in unless you uncheck a box, so if you're at a password field ready to login, LastPass decides to just get in your way.
But by far the most infuriating part for me has been the iOS app. For the past few months this is what I have to go through to use it:
1.) Open app
2.) Enter password
3.) Scan fingerprint
4.) Start looking for what I want to find
5.) App logs me out after about 30 seconds for no perceivable reason
6.) Enter password
7.) Scan fingerprint
8.) I'm now logged in, but the vault is completely empty
9.) Force close the app
10.) Open the app
11.) Enter password
12.) Scan fingerprint
13.) Finally get what I want
I really do want to switch to something else, preferably self hosted, but I haven't been able to set aside the time to do the research and export/import what I have in LastPass currently.
I was also scared when they were bought but no tragedies so far.
TouchID integration has been a godsend.
To me, the point is managing the dozens of separate logins you have to manage to use the web. I often can't be bothered to remember which sites I've signed up for, let alone what the username and passwords are.
For critical accounts (email, financial stuff, etc.) I'll always take the effort to memorize some high quality and unique usernames and passwords. I find this to be the best trade-off.
