CNET How To - How to get started with a password manager, LastPass

Every web service requires a username and password. To be more secure, try out LastPass, which does the heavy lifting of creating unique passwords and stores the data for you.

First of all, great to see Iyaz again! Second, great job! Last but not least, I will never trust a password manager again, ever. Sorry.

Thumbs up for the video though :)

I would highly recommend NOT to use any service like this.

I was thinking about using this app but I came to some bumps in the road. Such as what if a friend is over and they want to use my computer or portable device? He can just go through all my accounts right? Second I was worried about my passwords. What happens if there is an issue in the system and I have to use one of my passwords again. If I don't write them down somewhere I might have to go through a password recovery stage. Although there are some things im worried about, I think I will use this because I am horrible with remembering passwords. I am also constantly losing things. So this could help a lot. Lol I just contradicted myself didnt I.

Yeah, like people should really stuff all of their passwords into a single web-based service...

I am thinking of signing up for Lastpass as I am in need of a Password Manager. However I cannot find the answer to one question I have. If LastPass creates and controls all of my passwords on my devices and computers, what do I do if I need to log into my accounts from someone else's device or computer? There is no way I will be able to recall the randomly generated passwords that LastPass created for me. I travel internationally often for extended periods of time with just a mobile device. What if I lose my iPhone or iPad. Am I locked out of all my accounts until I can get back home and get to my Macbook with Lastpass access?

Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Just curious, what is wrong with google's password manager?

Lots of complaints about the last update on Firefox reviews. Seems they added a toolbar and some other things folks don't like. Guess I will pass for now.

Naa I'm not I do make sure have them stored somewhere safe lol! But I use safari on all my devices. Which makes life a lot easier. I can't remember all the passwords for every site. Lol

I put all my passwords in the note app and then lock my phone.
