I've been using Lastpass for nearly 2 yrs....I think....?

Anyway...I like it a lot! It's handy just having a master/"God" password that you can use to go in and change the dozens of other pwds I have! There's a setting to require a 2nd pwd, if you don't like to be "auto-logged" in to sites. You can just use LP to generate & save good pwds when you start with a new site. Lots of other features available....

I'm gonna keep using it!

Thanks, Faron. I think I will

try it. I have different passwords for most sites and I am always forgetting them and having to reset. It is supposed to be more secure, too.

I like the idea of LP, but always wonder, what if, for any reason, LP ceases to exist? Is there some master key you can download, print, and stash somewhere?

I guess that's what makes me hesitate, that I am somehow handing over the keys to someone else.

I like KeePass. It is free, sits on my desktop (not in a cloud somewhere), generates passwords, you can create folders, etc. It is very good. I have been using for at least 4 years.

Thanks, Walnut. I think that site was recommended as well as last pass. Stupid hackers.

I'd highly recommend LastPass. Here are some comments about it:

1. I have not used KeePass so I cannot comment on that.
2. There are tons of users, so there is safety in numbers. It is also a paid-for service, so there is a better chance that they will keep a staff of security specialists.
3. They are very responsive to defect reports (I have a paid subscription so that I can use it on my cell phone, which is well worth the money, in my opinion, for keeping this type of important info).
4. I've tried Clipperz and it was great .... until they revamped the entire
   user interface making the desktop browser experience so slow that it
   was unbearable. I've not yet had that experience with LastPass.
5. For choosing any of these password storage services, I would do a google search for how safe they are. I know of at least three other people in my company that use LassPass without fear of their passwords being abused/stolen.
6. Other than keeping passwords safe, I also heavily rely upon LastPass's automatic login feature: I have to login (and relogin) to multiple sites in my daily work. Without that automatic login, my productivity would plummet.
7. With LastPass, I can share some, but not all, of my passwords with my wife, keeping my own personal websites from cluttering up her view into her own LastPass. So that when the passwords need to change, it isn't much fuss or bother to keep her view updated.

Good luck!

1. There are tons of users, so there is safety in numbers.

Don't follow the logic there. There were 500 million yahoo accounts in the hack. More users means a better target for hackers (more data = more money), so I would X that one from the list.

No opinion on lastpass one way or another here. I did like 1pass, but it's doing so many things now that it's much more expensive than it used to be.

I had tons of problems with my yahoo account including it getting repeatedly hacked. When I switched to gmail, I discovered that not only did none of the spam escape the spam filter (unlike yahoo) but they responded much better to hacks.
