Most importantly, we\u2019ve provided a simple solution to help people easily access their bookmarks, wherever and whenever they needed to. We\u2019ve had thousands of users tell us that Xmarks has become an integral part of their browsing experience. You can rest assured that LastPass will continue to build upon the service in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also committed to keeping Xmarks free while implementing a viable long-term plan.
