I seem to be the only one in the world who actually feels more secure saving my passwords on a server INSTEAD of my computer. I came to Lastpass after using some general system info software and seeing how easily it found the passwords “hidden” on my computer. I am much more nervous about my smartphone or computer being stolen, and hacked, than worrying about whether someone can hack a remote server with 256 bit encryption.

It is sooooo easy to dump the contents of a hard drive and scan the insecure text files for passwords. Trying to crack encrypted messages over the internet, not so much.

So now, if my phone or computer is stolen, all I have to do is log on to Lastpass, change my password, and send my phone a text message to reformat everything (using F-secure or Kapersky) Easy as pie!

I’m a Lastpass Firefox addon fan. That’s all I use.
