If you're not, hit up CNET's handy "How to protect your passwords with LastPass" tutorial. If you're already a user yourself, hit the comments and let your fellow cheeps know what you think. (I'm not saying Dashlane is the better program of the two, merely that it's what I use.) There's a free version of LastPass for those who want it, but given that you can try Premium free for a year, why not try Premium for a year?ĬNET awarded LastPass four stars out of five, and PCMag handed the Premium edition an Editors' Choice award last September. I'm a paid-up Dashlane user for exactly that reason, and you know I don't like to pay for anything. I can't begin to tell you how handy that is. And that mobile support is one of the main benefits of having the premium version, because all your passwords and other important data (credit card numbers, for instance) get synced to your phone or tablet. It not only integrates with all the major browsers, but also works with just about every mobile device known to man: Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows RT, and so on.
It not only stores your passwords and generates new, difficult-to-crack ones, but also auto-fills passwords as needed when you visit various sites.
LastPass works along the same lines as tools like Dashlane, KeePass, PasswordBox, and RoboForm. (Yep, I'm looking at you, certain family members.) Because once you start using this, you'll wonder how (and why) you ever got along without it. Granted, that's literally saving you just a buck per month, but I'm hoping it's enough to encourage people who otherwise balk at the idea of a password manager. PT, the site appears to be working properly, and the giveaway is up and running. I'll let you know when I get a response from the company. AppSumo's site appears to be down, no doubt due to heavy traffic.
Update: As often happens, free stuff broke the Internet. If not, get ready for a seriously sweet offer: AppSumo is offering a free one-year subscription to LastPass Premium. If you're already using one, great - feel free to skip ahead to the bonus deals below. Regular readers know of my undying love for password managers, which make your online life considerably easier - to say nothing of way more secure.
