Lastpass

Compared to Google Smart Lock, I can only see one remaining drawback: we are still trusting a closed-source software with our sensitive data. Since LastPass has built-in support for handling bank account credentials, social security number, etc. its users are certainly putting all their secrets in their digital vault. It means that someone with access to LastPass codebase could tweak the front-end application or browser extensions to send all the user secrets, decrypted after the master password submission, to some malicious server. This could happen if the people behind LastPass go rogue or, more realistically, if they get hacked without noticing it. In any case, the consequences would be tragic!
