Glad I haven't paid for it. This could be another reason for me not to gallop into Win 10, as I have posted elsewhere!


Lastpass does work with Windows 10, just not in Edge. I continue to use Lastpass on Windows 10 with Firefox. It will still work with IE and presumably Chrome too

+1 for Lastpass

For $12 a year, it has saved me so much grief!

Not so fussed about cloud retention as it's all encrypted, master password is nearly 60 characters so good luck forcing that!
Used to use Keepass too, but lastpass a doddle to use and does what I ask of it.

I also use keeppass.

One of my clients really loves the cloud tho, so for that reason (he pays me too much to say no) I also use lastpass and some other cloud services for his stuff. But I would always advise local vs cloud storage when security is a concern.

I have been using lastpast for a few years now, i never had a problem with it, I did go premium when I went into hospital last year as i thought it would be useful on the tablet.
I am normally a bit worried about cloudy stuff, but lastpast have been fine

I use Lastpass and i've watched Steve Gibson thoroughly evaluate and explain why high-security passwords are necessary, and he shows how LastPass makes storing those passwords secure.

Let's face it, all of your passwords are stored on websites that are probably considerably less secure than the LastPass one (as recent events have demonstrated). In the end the only passwords that I think are really important are those for bank accounts, and mine won't work with any password manager.

I used Lastpass for a while and liked it. However, I wanted to sync multiple android devices and desktops, but that's only available with the premium package. So I migrated to Keepass which is completely free and open source. The interface isn't quite as polished as Lastpass, but you get used to it. The android apps work flawlessly, and with all the plugins available for the desktop program, it has more than enough functionality for anyone.

I can use Lastpast to store the username and password of my bank account, but then after that I need to input the data manually.

As I said, I have never had a problem with lastpast
