eric76 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Makes me glad I use LastPass. Yes, my passwords are stored by a third party, but they're paid to do so, therefore have incentive to keep their customer base happy. To get my LastPass password, and Yubikey, you'd have to either be very good at hacking and physical theft, or have my bollocks hooked up to a 12v battery... Isn't LastPass an application that automates your password handling? If the passwords you are creating (or it creates for you) aren't extremely difficult to crack, then it adds very little, if anything, to your security at all.
