Disclaimer: I'm a former LastPass employee who left more than a year ago.<p>The other posters in this thread are extremely negative about LastPass' business model with this move<p>They have a huge number of enterprise customers. The CEO has said this himself on HN: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8116479" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8116479</a>. This comment was >2 years ago.<p>Suggesting LastPass is selling data about it's customers is ridiculous. People like the product they have built and are willing to pay for it. Holding customers data hostage on a device was something people didn't like.
Can anyone shed some light onto how they are going to be making money now? I know there is some kind of useful info they can derive from letting users voluntarily have their password db's scanned for strength/pw duplication/etc, is there some money to be made selling something derived from that to third parties?
