My go-to password keeper – LastPass – is available free via website AppSumo. If you’re still using the same login and password across multiple online sites now is the time to stop. Using LastPass I generate (and REMEMBER) unique lengthy passwords for each site I visit. These login/password combinations are all encrypted then stored in the cloud so I am able to access them anywhere – including on all my mobile devices.

Mobile clients are available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry. While paying for the premium version of LastPass is not a necessity to use the program it does add some crucial features such as the ability to use mobile devices to carry passwords with you, shared family folders (up to 5 people – only one has to be a paid subscriber to LastPass).
By downloading a browser extension (Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) you can have LastPass automatically insert both your login and password to sites you visit regularly. Two factor authentication can be enabled so that you’re prompted for both password and a second factor (I use Google Authenticator).
Initially I had some concerns about keeping all my passwords in the cloud. However the downside of using an insecure password seems to far outweigh the relatively minor risk of storing my fully encrypted passwords in one central location.
If you’re not already using a password manager – check out LastPass for free (normally $12) – here
