If you also would like to share login details with other LastPass users, you can do so securely through the Online Vault you even have the power to choose if you want the recipient to obtain the password, or just be able to use it in the corresponding website.
Furthermore, you can attach images and documents to your notes so that you can access them from anywhere.
#LASTPASS V. PASSWORDS PLUS DRIVER#
In your LastPass Vault you can keep notes of virtually anything that you want to remember- sensitive details such as bank numbers and driver licenses are two typical examples. You can set its length, letter case, number of digits in it, and other filters too.

Instead of typing a password yourself, you can let the Password Generator create a strong password for you. The Password Generator is another feature of LastPass which can be used when creating an account for a new website. In a few words, the program allows you to create passwords that can be used only once to login to your LastPass account- so that even if someone can log the password you used, it will be unusable in the future. Whenever you want to access your LastPass data from an untrusted computer, you can use One-Time Passwords provided by LastPass. LastPass supports the following multifactor options: Google Authenticator (Free), Grid Multifactor Authentication (Free), Microsoft Authenticator App (Free), Toopher Authentication (Free), Duo Security Authentication (Free), Transakt Authentication (Free), Sesame Multifactor Authentication (Premium), Fingerprint Authentication (Premium), Smart Card Authentication (Premium) and Yubikey Multifactor Authentication (Premium). This kind of feature is widely used the recent years, and allows a user to further secure his account by having to use a second authentication step coming from a different device, before he can actually login. In addition, LastPass supports multi-factor authentication for extra safety.
Can’t get safer and faster at the same time than this. Then this process is iteratively performed a few thousand times (the number of rounds is customizable) and voila! Your encrypted key has been created. To apply PBKDF2 safely, LastPass uses SHA-256 hashing algorithm. Your master password is encrypted using AES 256-bit algorithm, and its effectiveness is increased with the help of Password-Based Key Derivation Function ( PBKDF2) which makes the brute-force password cracking process much more difficult than it normally is. There are two Vaults actually, the Local Vault and the Online Vault your data is synced between the two, so that in case you need it but are not using your personal computer, you can still login to the Online Vault and access the data from there. To see saved passwords, you need to access your LastPass Vault. Depending on the type of the website (shopping, entertainment, bank, etc.) each account is saved under a different category. Note that you can have more than one account saved under the same website. Then, every time you visit it LastPass will let you automatically login using the credentials you used when you registered.

Then, whenever you come across a registration page LastPass will offer to automatically fill in text boxes for which it has saved profile information (name, email, address, etc.) and when the registration process is over it will save all entered information for that website. After installing the program, you’ll have to create your account (and enter a master password) under which all passwords and settings will be stored. How it worksīut let’s get to more important stuff, like how it works.
#LASTPASS V. PASSWORDS PLUS ANDROID#
Of course, it couldn't lack support for handheld devices (for premium users only though) its app is available for iOS, Android and Blackberry devices, but you can also find it in the Windows Store for devices using Windows Mobile. LastPass supports a wide variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) and several browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer. So in this article we will point out each one’s strengths and weaknesses and in the end compare them. From those I used, two made a difference for me and are objectively two of the top ones in their category: LastPass ( homepage) and Dashlane ( homepage).

That was the way for me until I started trying out password managers - software that safely store your accounts and their details, with the added advantage of logging you in automatically to websites. In the past I used to register to at least a couple of websites every 2-3 days, and I really hated creating accounts with the same password, although it was so convenient since I didn't have to remember different passwords for each account.
