[Discuss] deadmanish login?

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

A while ago I looked into a number of these. I prefer LastPass (
https://www.lastpass.com/). LastPass works well on Linux, Windows, Mac, and
Android. Passwords are encrypted on their server, so that if you forget
your passphrase you are SOL (which is a good thing).
The Chrome and Firefox plugins work pretty well.

I did have a case where I changed my passphrase, and apparently mistyped
it, but I had lastpass open on my home desktop and was able to change my
pass phrase. I have not revisited the other password keepers recently.

The main security issue with lastpass is that you can set it up to remember
your passphrase. This is ok for me on my encrypted work laptop and my home
desktop. I do not set this up on my personal laptop. Also, on Android it
requires my fingerprint.
