It also allows you to have “secure notes” – so it doesn’t have to be just logins.  I find it an amazing tool – just so impressed with how it works.   But there is a deeper reason why I wanted this tool – to protect against one site compromising others. The best strategy is to not use the same password on more than one site – so in case that one site is compromised they can’t know your password on other sites.  But there’s a problem – who in the world can remember all those passwords? I don’t think anyone can (and I’m sure you never forget a user id either).  LastPass fills the bridge – you just remember the one password – it takes care of the rest – filling in the logins on each website.  And you can always look up the user ids and passwords – even on your mobile phone!

So I don’t know if I can say enough about how much I like this tool – it Rocks!!!!   It solves a fundamental problem with passwords across the web – balancing security and usability.  And since it’s free ($1 per month if you want to have it on your phone) – it’s hard to make a case why not to use. So try it today – be better with your passwords and logins…

Again this just hows me how nice the overall UI of Windows 7 is – in that the taskbar just seems better – more usable.   Thank you Microsoft and all the beta testers for getting this right.
