LastPass password manager overview

LastPass is quite an old player among the password managers. It started back in 2008 as a standalone password manager. Later, in 2015, the software firm LogMeIn, Inc acquired LastPass not before the latter took over the Xmarks browser extension for syncing passwords. This move already hinted at how LastPass rules the realm of passwords in the coming years.

Following its acquisition by LogMeIn, the firm launched its two-factor authenticator in 2016. Thus, strengthening its position further as an inclusive login tool.

Although, later, in 2018, LastPass had to shut down Xmarks owing to its similarity of services with LastPass.

Nonetheless, the rise of LastPass popularity among the users clearly proved it a wise decision by LogMeIn.

And now, they have a single yet dominant password management product that offers every feature of or relating to passwords.
