Password Manager LastPass Acquires Xmarks

Very logical fit. LastPass have been making noises about integrating bookmark sync since around the time Xmarks added password sync support, and I'd rather it be this way around than the alternative (LastPass is extremely secure, Xmarks... don't know). This presumably means my bookmarks will sync between all my browsers, computers, and my phone, as well as my passwords. Hoorah!<p>Disclaimer: I am a LastPass subscriber

It would appear that Xmarks is a good fit for LastPass. LastPass already deals with cross-browsing syncing and I would assume that their backend hardware would be generally 'compatible' with whatever requirements Xmarks has.<p>So if LastPass already has a viable Freemium model, then they should be able to integrate Xmarks into their business plan fairly easily.

You know, people storing their passwords on a /free/ service always seemed a wee bit icky to me. What happens when the service goes bust? Will all their passwords be lost, like tears in the rain?

I hope XMarks doesn't end up dragging LastPass down with it. Don't get me wrong, they're both good services, but I don't think it's possible to make money with what XMarks offers.

All your bookmarks now belong to them.<p>Sure hope they were encrypted.

I hope LastPass will help Xmarks to overcome its difficulties...
