Re: [orca-list] Password managers?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I think that keepass2 is preffered over keepass, but have never used either one. 
I think it still may be accessible enough to be usable, but lastpass is really good, smart at dealing with 
less common password configurations, has easy 
to use multi-profile formfilling so that you can have a profile that includes bank card  data if you want, 
another that does not, another that may use 
false or semi false data for throwaway registrations on websites you don't really want to have a serious long 
term relationship with, etc. 
Usually when you change a password you are offered the option to update the password either on a specific 
page or everything offered by a website and or 
domain, or to create a new entry with the new PW while keeping the old creds as an option. 
There support ppl respond to queries on twitter, not sure about other ways of contacting them, and nice 
security flexability is available. You can get 
temporary passwords to use on mobile devices or public computers, set the extension to do anything from 
logging off after a few minutes of inactivity to 
staying logged in on all browsers on a given device for up to two weeks. I use different security settings on 
different devices to balance convenience 
against security. 
It has all the other little extras that you'd expect as well like secure PW generation, and can be set to 
prompt you to log in to save data when 
registering on a new site or not. 
I think you do need a premium account  to use lastpass with phone OS's,  like IOS and Android, but I've only 
used the free version, and had very good 
experiences with both Linux and Windows. 
You can install extensions browser by browser, or install a binary that installs last pass on all your 
browsers. I've used the multi browser installer 
on both Windows and Linux, but usually ust install on a browser by browser basis either from the google web 
store or the firefox extensions manager.
