This. Wouldn't you worry about one password getting hacked? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 25, 11:55 14
- I must be super dumb because I dont understand how Last Pass could be helpful to me -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 12:03 11
  - I don't even understand how it works. - JaxSean Aug 25, 12:06 10
    - It's just a place to go to keep track of all your passwords. I could not keep track of all the various usernames and passwords I have to remember. - pmb Aug 25, 12:09
    - THe general principle is that you use a wicked hard password (like a sentence) for LastPass so that it can't be "hacked" in that way -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 12:08 8

        Something like that or : "Spawn is a butthead and he knows it. Verify Me" -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 12:11 2
        
        Not that one specifically, but I already use a few pharse passwords. -- nm - Spawn Aug 25, 12:13 1
        
        I'm continually saddened by how many supposedly security oriented sites get screwed up using long passwords - oblique Aug 25, 12:14
      - but why am I storing them in the 1st place? just so its more secure then me writing them down? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 12:09 3
        
        So you don't use the same password on every website. - spamlet Aug 25, 12:11
        
        Because it generates long, random, difficult passwords and has a browser plugin to recall them so you don't have to write them down -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 12:10
        
        Yes. And all in one place for access. -- nm - pmb Aug 25, 12:10
- Yeah, I have password keeper but I only keep it on my phone. I'm more concerned with a smart hacker going after it on line than somebody finding my - pmb Aug 25, 11:59 1
  - Brute force isn't really a concern if you're using a passphrase more than a handful of characters long - oblique Aug 25, 12:12
