What is LastPass and why we use it

Say goodbye to your notebook, your post-it notes, storing passwords in your address book or notes app. Say hello to Lastpass.

It’s all too easy to get sloppy with your password security as the number of accounts and accompanying passwords pile up. It’s time to start letting LastPass generate and manage your passwords.

LastPass is a password management tool that takes all the effort out of managing your passwords. We all have our reasons – most of them in common – for not using passwords as strong and varied as we should: it’s a pain to remember them, it doesn’t seem that important to vary passwords wildly, entering complex passwords for each website we visit is a big hassle, etc.

LastPass removes these barriers by making password generation, management, and deployment really simple and seamless.

LastPass is unique in that its free to start using, and lets you securely share credentials with others without revealing your actual password.

While there are other password managers out there (our team also love 1Password), Lastpass is the only one that we found that is free and allows you to share your passwords with others.
