The first paragraph very nearly lost me – irrational, rage bait, directly contradicts later stated facts – but there’s some good content later. The chief complaint seems to be that LastPass is
not forcing this upgrade, they are just blast emailing unaffected people that they “forced” it while not actually doing so. And they’ve pulled similar stunts in the past, and in current communication seem to clearly be blaming users for their weak settings and passwords while erasing the fact that LastPass chose the settings, ok’d the passwords, botched the upgrade, and still hasn’t fixed most of their mistakes.
Everybody with a clue knows LastPass is a lost cause, but what’s more interesting to me is how we can generalize the lessons we’re learning here. I’d propose that user blaming in general is evidence of bad tech and magical thinking around it, and that points a finger at some very interesting targets.
