It may be kicking LastPass, but it may also be trying to head off customer defections away from ALL cloud password managers.

What happened at LastPass is likely to shake customer confidence of all vendors.

Yes, seems fair enough to me. Most people (quite reasonably) just aren't going to get the nuances differentiating cloud-based pw managers. One blog post isn't going to change that in itself, but it's fair for Agilebits to get the word out where they can. It's natural they don't want to suffer reputational damage consequent on a competitor's breach.

I agree. I think it was totally justified and well timed. I'm glad they came out explaining why they're different and better, and why they can be trusted.

What's pretty tacky is how LastPass is lying, or at least misleading when pretending that LP master passwords cannot be cracked.
