Stop Forgetting Passwords

Let me ask a question;  Do you ever forget a password to a site, or use a password that is so easy it’s hardly worth the effort? If you are like most of us then the answer is YES to both.

Let me introduce you to LastPass.  LastPass is the answer to your problem, even if you didn’t know you had one.  With the growing popularity of social sites and putting up tons of personal information on the Internet, Security is no joke. Not to mention that just about any site you go to these days wants you to register for whatever reason.  So what is LastPass?  In short LastPass is one of the most well regarded services when it comes to protecting your usernames and passwords and giving you access to them anytime you are connected to the Net.

But don’t take my word for it, here is what LifeHacker has to say:

Windows/Mac/Linux: Firefox extension and Internet Explorer add-on LastPass is a secure password manager for all your web passwords. Like other web-focused password managers, LastPass puts all of your individual passwords behind one master password. When you type in that master password, LastPass can then automatically log you in to any web site you visit with saved login credentials. Even better, LastPass syncs passwords over the internet, so all your saved passwords on your work computer, for example, will always be synced up on your home computer. I haven’t been using it for long, but so far LastPass works seamlessly with Firefox and exactly as expected. If you’re creating a login for a site for the first time, LastPass can auto-generate a strong, secure password for you (remember, all you have to remember is your LastPass login).

The thing the makes LastPass such a worthwhile application is that is truly a cross-platform application. It works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and most mobile platforms, such as iPhone, Android and Blackberry.  Plus, it includes the option for you to create long complicated passwords and then remembers them for you.  LastPass is worth a look-see.
