Re: [LUG] Password Manager

 

I've certainly not had any issues with Lastpass crashing in FF or Chrome. Not used the android app much, not had the need.

Note that saying that a password manager "seems to work fine" is like
saying that a bulletproof vest is good because it matches the colour of
your trousers.

The point of a password manager is to securely store your passwords.
Where you put the balance in 'securely' versus 'store' depends on your
threat model, but LastPass (which I've had no problems using in the
latest FireFox) is significantly more secure than the default password
manager that comes with the browser.

So with Paul I am curious what bit doesn't work.
