There are apps for popular mobile platforms: iPhone, Windows Mobile, Symbian OS, and the exotic Blackberry and Android, which are distributed on a paid basis ($1 per month, which is affordable for a convenient service).
In the browser, the applications work simply. When registering on websites or entering a password, LastPass offers to save this data. Then it will automatically fill in the required field; you just need to press the login button.
There is a feature for filling various forms. You only need to fill out the form in LastPass once (full name, address, etc.), and afterward the application will do it automatically.
It is important to remember that the LastPass database is stored in one place. The creators claim the information is encrypted reliably, with the only vulnerable point being the password to the LastPass service. Therefore, follow the basic requirements for a strong password – choose a longer password and be sure to include numbers and alphabetic characters in both lower and upper case. Then you can rest assured about your sensitive information.
LastPass is a useful and convenient tool if you spend a lot of time online and visit numerous websites. Try it now; this tool might be exactly what you have been looking for.
