Move over RoboForm, This 100% FREE and secure Password Manger rocks!

I have now exceeded the 10 passwords the free version or RoboForm allows. While I love it, I decided to see if there was a free equivalent I could find to manage my growing number of passwords for FREE.

As often happens, when I really need something it comes to my attention via my inbox or RSS feed.

Secure This week when I was going to search for this kid of program my favorite freebie finder, Gizmo Richards just happened to review LastPass. It sounded good so I installed and began using this tool and I must say I am more than happy.

LastPass can be used on your iphone, ipod, mobile device, or any computer by accessing your lastpass vault via the web. You passwords are encrypted and you use a screen key-board (image) to enter your lastpass vault password.

Features:

Prompts you to save new passwords to LastPass as you enter them.
When you return to a site where the password is saved the icon appears in the log in area to indicate that your password already saved. § Strong Password generation.
If you want to view your passwords you can log into your on line lastpass vault.
Store Confidential Information using secure notes (I an not trusting enough to use this feature).
Automatically fill in form information with one click.
Drag a bookmarklet to your tool bar and log in to your accounts with one click. If you have multiple profiles a menu will appear and offer log in choices.
Protect yourself from keylogging software by logging in using a screen keyboard. This is very useful if you need to log on at work or the library, a hotel room to access your lastpass vault. You use your mouse to point and click the keyboard that appears on your screen.
Finds and asks if you want to add existing passwords to your encrypted vault.
Create one-time passwords to potect your LastPass vault from key-logging software when using an untrusted computer.

Want learn more? They have great video tutorials. So throw away that paper in your desk, delete the password file from your computer, ditch that dirty business card in your wallet (I recommend shredding it) and download LastPass and simplify your life!

Caryn- Once again you have a great resource. I didn't know that Robo Form only lets you keep 10 passwords...I must have bought it, as I have a bunch of passwords stored. Thanks for the info :)
