I think it's never a good idea to save passwords online.

I use the app KeePass, it's pretty easy to use and it's save.

Seems I wrote about this before. I never trusted this method.

Thanks for the tip.  Master password changed.

My password is 27 characters long, they would be hard pressed to brute force it. Still it's better safe than sorry.

Thanks, Doc and Hankers.

How ironic, I decided to be cautious about this and change and back up my passwords on lastpass. Imagine my luck that not only does Firefox and the lastpass extension fail to change my password but also failed to backup my passwords and I have now lost everything I had on the site. Lucky for me I tend to have more than one backup thru different methods and so I still have my websites and passwords although there is a chance a couple may not be updated but that should not be a problem. As of this moment I will no longer use Lastpass as I am very disappointed how difficult it was to export a backup and even harder to import it.

I will now try keepass instead. Thanks for the tip.

Good call, thanks.

I only registered a couple of days ago, which makes me question my decision. Need to look into KeePass then.

On a side note, someone in this thread, I'm not naming any names, stole my self-stolen avatar. Is there no honor among thieves these days?

I'm red with rage!

 ....up the irons, mate!

How do you change your master password? I can't seem to find the option.

-Side note, I'm not too worried because I only manage passwords to sites I don't care about with lastpass.

I use to work for the State Dept of Ed.  One of the Asst. Superintendents was probably brilliant in his field, but lacked any technical sense.  So if we had to work on his computer, we merely looked at the side of his monitor where his password was written down (along with his login ID).

He may have had a more secure method than any online method used today.

I store my passwords in MY memory, it's harder to hack

Wait a minute. If they steal my identity do they also get my degenerative back pain as well? And my mom-in-law who I love SO VERY MUCH that has been living in my recliner since Christmas? And ALL the f*cking issues that come with having Skinhit as my arch-nemesis???????? There is potential for something good to come out of this, right?

For anyone else, I'd say probably.

Not for you, Smedley.

You're just jealous cause no one WANTS to steal YOUR identity.  I, on the other hand, am just that fucking awesome.

Lifehacker has came up with
