Basically exactly like your browser does (generates passwords, stores them, offers them to you in login boxes) - oblique Apr 6, 11:30
Think of them like an encrypted spreadsheet that you unlock with a master key, and then copy the passwords out of as you need them. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:28 11
- They don't work on individual apps, do they? -- nm - Max Apr 6, 11:36 10
  - Generally speaking, yes though occasionally one will not support it. LastPass integrates with iOS the same way the built in iOS password manager does - oblique Apr 6, 11:45
  - For iOS it really depends on how they implement the login for the app. - spamlet Apr 6, 11:42 7
    - that seems hard. -- nm - amanda Apr 6, 11:44 6
      - Not as hard as remembering 300 different 64-character passwords. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:45 5
        
        google does it! -- nm - amanda Apr 6, 11:48 4

        right? I'm going to be feeling/hating this for weeks. in other news, my outlook for web issues seem to have corrected so.... - amanda Apr 6, 12:15 1
        
        We’re not allowed to use outlook for web because people can’t stop clicking on phishing emails. - spamlet Apr 6, 12:18
        
        with this? -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:53
  - Sometimes they do but not for every app. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 11:38
