    Anyone currently using this?

    I'm looking for something easy to use for my parents so they can toughen up their passwords.

    I have used it for several years now, and love it. The only password they have to remember is their lastpass MASTER password. If they lose that password, then they are screwed.

    I'm using premium version. No issues here. Make sure to turn on 2 factor authentication.

    You can setup emergency telephone no. It allow you to recover your password if you forgot your login details.

    using it since 5 years I tried other password managers and nothing comes close to LastPass and the ease of using it, adding passwords or even editing them after a password change. Other password managers don't fill in the credentials autoatically sometimes but this one always does as long as you go to advanced / enable auto login in that site' entry

    I've been looking for a good password manager and was looking at this one. Will it generate passwords for you?

    Nevermind. I see that it does. Think I'll try it out.

    I'm officially in love with Lastpass! It's fascinating watching it auto-change a password. :D

    I use Keepass2, I can take my portable USB password with me anywhere anytime and doesn't require the wifi or internet to use - should I have no to access my password protected links. That is something LassPass can't do should you have no internet or wifi to log into it. LassPass is only there if you have internet access AFAIK.
