LastPass

LastPass is a life savior: yes, quite literally – as it remembers all your passwords across every device! Presumably, we’ve all been there shaking our heads, trying to rummage through a plethora of forgotten & similar suggestions. What about the time you needed to share that all-important password with a trusted one, yet was wary of the method of communicating this. Well with LastPass you can do so with ease & confidence of no interception. Then the frustration that usually ensues suddenly is alleviated. After all, we’re always preached to use strong & different passwords: cumbersome is an understatement. LastPass also assists with formulating good passwords So let’s see how this convenient solution works:

• Store all login credentials for all your regular sites to ensure hassle-free entry into them. As an extension of this, one can securely save all associated digital record data via encrypted means. All are available in a plug & play module to ease even e-commerce transactions seamlessly.
• Backed by data security software to alert you in case of any integrity breach incidents, be it over the dark web too

Then again, with things that sound too good to be true, there’s often a caveat and this by no means is an exception to that fact. Just take a look:

• Ironically, despite this package storing your password data, it doesn’t actually facilitate displaying the actual password should you wish to view this for future reference. This is counterintuitive, I would say, as users report being unable to log in to LastPass for this reason. The word pointless springs to mind, right…?
• As an extension of the aforesaid, it appears that there’s no obvious method to import any database using this, which is disappointing & unfriendly
• Lack of any live technical support in case you run into any difficulties: where’s the ownership considering that they’re handling such sensitive data of users?

In all then, whilst LastPass initially appears to offer convenience by taking away the headache of recalling numerous login data, it backtracks with poorly implemented interfaces & functionality. What’s worse is that if you need to ask a question or require help, then sadly you’re on your own! For me then, this is a BIG NO.
