I use LastPass, and I only trust it with accounts I wouldn't much care to lose.
I would never trust any password manager with my important accounts, like Paypal, my main gmail account, etc.
Why?

Maybe I'm being irrational, but I have a good memory so it's not a problem to remember my complex passwords for the important accounts. 20+ characters with numbers, symbols etc.
Well done, you can remember a 20 character, complex password. The majority of people cannot.
And if you can remember your 20 character complex password, then why are you trusting your "not important" accounts to a password manager? Surely you can remember the simple passwords because they are by definition, simpler.
Has anyone had their Lastpass account compromised yet? I suspect not.
Been using Lastpass for years. Have tried other ones but keep coming back to it. I don't save all of my passwords there though, ISP and e-mail ones are memorised as those allow me to recover any compromised account. So in the worse case scenario and Lastpass is compromised and my accounts abused, I can get back control eventually.
Theirs no way you would know if they updated their software to read your encrypted data.
Lastpass source code is available for all to see.I actually agree with your point here. You really can't 100% trust closed source software.
I use KeePass(X) because it's FOSS, which makes it much easier to trust - the code is all out in the open, and the motives of the contributors were to write good software.
I probably wouldn't use any of the closed source options for the reason you mentioned, unless it was paid for. I definitely wouldn't use a free (as in £0) closed source password manager.
As is the new pricing and reduced features, might have to look for an alternative to lastpass after many happy years of use
I see that LastPass has doubled it's price. Hummmmmm.
I use the free option so unlikely.
Yer - it's now an ungodly, almost £20 a year! OMG!
