LastPass Hacked, Change Your Master Password Now
-
Yeah, I was not even going to try and change passwords today. The last time this happened (2010 ??) the reset servers were completely overwhelmed.

I agree with Nick and Scott - while this is not good, it's definitely not as bad as it sounds... the bad thing - non technical people won't understand why and they'll just crucify LastPass instead.
I'll include myself as non technical person here. It does further put me off hosted solutions. That's not the only reason I use on-premise (Keepass) as I didn't really like LastPass when I tried it anyway. I do store my Keepass databases in the cloud though, but that's a different risk.

If I mentioned this to my boss she would kill my desire to push out this service to our users.
Pushing last pass to users- is it as a suggestion to all users to manage their own pass or will it be used as a password manager for company use?
At this point it's a suggestion to users so they can manage their own passwords. A few have tried it so far, and like any password manager has quite a learning curve, it's going OK.

The sad fact of the matter is that unless you completely unplug yourself, you just can't avoid hosted solutions. I say sad, and others will say, what makes it sad? Life has so many advantages today because of the hosted/integrated solutions - this is a conundrum I haven't reconciled yet.
