I’ve tried many different password keepers, some free and some not. For the PC, I found that Roboform was great. It remembers your passwords, logs you in, even fills out forms for you. But it doesn’t play at all with the Mac. For the Mac, I found 1Password works great. Same functionality as Roboform (plus syncing to the iPhone). However, it doesn’t play with Windows. (Sure, you can import and export between the two, then use something like Dropbox to sync them, but it’s a hassle and isn’t real-time.) So, now I’ve got two great systems and neither one easily communicates with it other, so passwords on my PC can’t be found on my Mac.

That’s where LastPass is perfect. LastPass works with Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. So, you can use it on your PC and Mac. It stores all of your passwords, ENCODED, on their server. You log into the extension in Firefox for example, (please use a STRONG password!) and it provides the same great functionality of Roboform or 1Password, but all your passwords are SYNCED!

And, if you visit a computer without LastPass installed, just go the LastPass web site, log in, and there are all your websites with passwords. (No longer do you have to bring a sticky pad with your login information around when you travel.)

If you have lots of passwords and want a great, easy-to-use FREE password keeper that syncs (via cloud), then check out: LastPass.
