I initially intended for this post to discuss my disappointment with password managers.  After a few years of hearing tech sites and other tech geeks praise password managers, I finally jumped on the bandwagon last week.  A password manager is software that helps you organize and remember passwords, PIN codes, and sometimes even bank account and credit card information.  I wanted a password manager that would work across multiple platforms – PC, iPhone, and U3 (SanDisk’s thumbdrive technology).  For that reason, I started with eWallet.  From there, I also looked at KeePass, which is the manager I have seen discussed the most in tech circles.  In both cases, I was disappointed.  I was wondering whether my expectations had been too high.  It was then that I discovered LastPass.

For another password manager comparison, check out our showdown between LastPass and 1Password.
