User Review
( vote)If like me you own multiple online accounts, login credentials and security pins. Caring about those will be like a primary responsibility to you.
There are some of my online login details I consider inevitable such as;
- My facebook and other important social networks accounts login details
- My forum and blog admin details
- My cpanel details and that of clients
- My paypal and other online banking related details
- My primary email account details
While there are the others I can play around with, without having any form of fear such as;
- Random forums login details
- Random blogs that require registration to comment
- Random sites and individual social networks that requires registration
- Some freelancing sites with low trust rating
- Apps and low trusted services that requires login
Why this analysis?
I decided to point this out to alert you of the security risk it can pose using same credentials as number one group [inevitable] above and number two group below.
In fact, most websites gets hacked ‘cos of this loophole. Most of this website owners [ the group 2 category] aren’t all trusted individuals to start with and can manipulate their php-myadmin to get your individual passwords and login details to try on your other important services.
This is the reason I will personally advice against using same password for both your important and unimportant services. Even in rare cases, a hacker can break this forum and blogs just to steal the login details of the users, same with some untrusted apps out there that has no respect to your overall security.
This is where LastPass comes in, making sure that you are saved from the pain of having to remember each of your individual passwords each time you need to access the sites.
LastPass does not only save you from the stress of having to remember these passwords but will also auto-generate secure login credentials for you and will also log you in automatically whenever the need arises.
This is the reason why LastPass is earning my sincere review today.

Hey Obasi,
I’ve been using this program for over two years now and have written about it myself in the past. I love this program and I would be seriously lost without it.
This is why I’m easily able to change my passwords every month because with this program I never have to remember them all. It’s so easy and I can be on anyone’s computer to access my account.
You did a wonderful job with this review and I do hope that if anyone is looking for a great program to use they’ll seriously take a look at this one. I’ve introduced it to so many people and they love it too.
Thanks for this write up and I’ll share this post as well. It’s been awhile since I wrote about this one.
Happy Halloween and hope you’re having an amazing day.

Thanks for the lovely contribution Mam, it ‘ve been an awesome program hence, my choosing to write a review about it today. Thanks for the wishes too, I am feeling great about your sharing the content. Do have a splendid weekend.
Nothing is safe in cyber world, The Giant “Adobe” itself got hacked a couple of weeks ago, a giant corporation that literally spends millions on internet security was breached.
so i don’t expect any password holder to be that safe, although the review sounds nice, but what happens if you’re not on your pc and trying to access your accounts? on your mobile maybe, how can you memorize those supper secure random generated password?
maybe i got it wrong, LastPass is an application you download and runs locally on your computer right ? or it’s a web you sign in to and then browse other sites from a third party ??
Many thanks and Best wishes!
Thanks for dropping by Mitch,
Certainly security is very vital and so should be treated with high sense of diligence. Concerning the question on , those features comes with the pro version of the app.
Concerning the second question of how LastPass works, at first, you need download and install the software, which will only add browser addon to all the web browsers in your pc. The passwords are encrypted with the highest level and could be accessed remotely in any other pc or devices by memorizing only the “one time master password” that is given to you during the setup UI.

Hi Obasi,
LastPass looks like it would save you a world of time. This is a must in my book. The more time I can save after I clear my cache the better for me.
Thanks for sharing!

Hello Miracle!
Wonderful review you’ve got here. I’ll be trying last pass soon. The only problem I have with the review is that it’s silent as to whether last pass is premium or free.
