LastPass is a password manager which allows you to manage all your passwords and login details securely with only a single utility tool. You don't have to waste your time remembering passwords or worrying about forgetting and resetting passwords.
With LastPass, all you need is to remember a single password, which is the
master password to unlock this utility where all your passwords are kept in an encrypted vault. Without the master password, nobody is able to access the encrypted data, including the software developer.
Wherever and whenever you need your passwords on your desktop PC, laptop, tablet or mobile devices, you can use LastPass to sync them for you. You have to synchronize your
settings manually since you may need different security profiles at different places and browsers. You can set up different preferences in each browser.
LastPass also incorporates a
password generator for generating unique and strong passwords,
auto form filler to simplify your life and
Secure Notes, also known as digital wallet, to simplify online security.
If you are installing LastPass on your desktop PC or laptop, you'll need to install the LastPass browser extension for saving and accessing your passwords. With this extension, you can import your stored login details from your previous password manager.
