LastPass Password

How many passwords do I need to remember just to use the Internet? I need one for my bank, my forum, blog site, Facebook, Amazon, and on and on. You say you got it beat, just have one userid and password for everything. What a great idea but there is one tiny problem, if somebody somehow got your password, you are in big trouble or a Korean would say in deep kimchee. So how do you solve this cumbersome problem…Answer, get Lastpass and it is FREE.

My co-worker introduced me to Lastpass but I didn’t take him seriously because I’m thinking how can I trust some company with my password that offer this service for free, so I did some digging and found out it is very secured and everything is encrypted so even the Lastpass people won’t know your password. Of course nothing is never but it would take tremendous amount of time to break the encryption, so I wouldn’t worry unless you are hiding something that everybody want. Anyway, if you don’t want to take my word for it listen to a security guru who actually did an in-depth review of Lastpass at http://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm episode #256.

Now that I have convinced you to use Lastpass, let me introduce you to another Internet service you definitely need, if you are a traveler or have multiple computers you need xmarks. Xmark site is at http://www.xmarks.com/ and its feature is to keep your Internet explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari bookmark in the Internet cloud so that wherever you are or whichever computer you’re on, you’ll have access to your bookmarked websites. Xmark was procured by Lastpass not too long ago and it makes a perfect marriage for people who use the Internet for their daily work or pleasure.

Try it out and let me know what you think. I been using it for couple of weeks and loving it, or as the British would say “lovely darling”.
