[WebPub] online password managers?

[Monique Yeaton]

I've been using LastPass. The nice thing about it is that your passwords are encrypted in the vault LastPass sets up. If you need to see your passwords, you have a master password (which you won't want to forget) but at least you don't have to remember all the passwords within the vault.

I'm happy with how it works so far. Nice thing is it's free.

Thanks,

Monique

Subject: [WebPub] online password managers?

I was wondering what experiences others have had with online (not desktop) password managers.

I've finally reached a threshold where I can't keep up with all my passwords, and I imagine others have the same issue. I've looked at IS&T's recommendations about passwords in general (including info at the bottom of this page http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7144415 that refers to browser-based password managers). So far, I've been looking at LastPass and Mitto.

Any recommendations, good experiences or bad?

Thanks,

Lisa
