LastPass is a browser-based password manager with extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge as well as Android, iOS, and Windows phone apps. By the time it was bought by SaaS company LogMeIn in 2015, it had grown to seven million users supported by just 30 employees. LastPass was created in 2008 by four developers tired of having to encrypt and decrypt their password document every time they updated it.
