Lastpass, being primarily a browser plugin, makes generated passwords much more convenient. When I'm setting up a new account, I press Alt-G to bring up the generator dialog, and then it auto-fills when I need to log in. I honestly don't know most of my passwords (I still memorise my primary email password, so I'm not totally stuck if I lost access to LastPass).
This is a compromise, because I'd prefer to trust an open source tool and an encrypted local file, but I trust Lastpass enough, and the convenience is very nice.

- Quiark 11y agoMakes me wonder if LastPass uses CS PRNG for that :D
- dchest 11y agoLast time I checked I think they used some kind of user-space RC4-based PRNG, but it was seeded properly from window.crypto.
