Yes! Steve Gibson devoted part of an episode of Security Now! to discuss his findings on LastPass...Brb with the link


Edit: Having issues finding the exact episode I was referring to. But I remember listening to him speak favorably of it. I'll continue my search.

Edit2:Apparently, I lied. My memory is failing me or I just fabricated a portion of my memory. He's only talked briefly about LastPass...He owes us a full review.

Password Safe is also safe to use.

leo laporte uses it extensively & talks about it all the time on his podcasts along with the security now podcast.

his laptop was just stolen so he changed his last pass config to require a login each time instead of a persistent login. otherwise, he's still using it.

I have used lastpass for about 7 months now and I love it. It is free to use and I never have to worry about keeping up with passwords. The built in password generator is also nice and it does the filling in of forms well too. I considered an online manager vs a locally stored manager and went with online because if hardware is stolen I can change the login password to lastpass and I am still protected.

Lastpass is also good at updating to support new browsers. It works for chrome, opera, IE and firefox. Even when betas for browsers are released they usually have a version out in a day.
