Re: Apple/Amazon hacking

I have the Chrome extension (and there is one for most major browsers) and
they store the data "in the cloud".

You have one master password that is used to the encrypt the passwords. So
it uses a trust-no-one methodology. They can't decrypt your passwords. You
can also access your passwords on their website.

They just added a feature where you can restrict what countries can log
into your account. They have multiple ways to do multi-authentication
(including UbiKey and Google Authenticator).

There was a Security Now episode that is talking about how secure they
really are. I believe searching for "Security Now LassPass" should turn up
that show.

I have used 1Password (which is also really good), but switched to LastPass
because of the convenience of accessing the passwords at work and at home
(and mobile).

Mike,

What if one accesses sites from multiple computers? I use three [3]
computers (this one at work and two at home). How would/does LastPass work
in that environment?

Thanks.

All social engineering. When I read that... I immediately changed a few key
passwords that still used my old method of passwords.

I now use LastPass and generate longer random string passwords for every
site.
