Lastpass knows how to change your passwords for many popular sites, and can automate it away for you.
- benjaminl 10y agoLastPass uses local encryption to enable LastPass to have Zero knowledge of users passwords. This means that user's passwords aren't passed in the clear even inside a TSL session. So LastPass isn't the password manager mentioned in the post.
- Elizzy 10y agoI think he's recommending it, more so than assuming it's what he uses.

- SomeCallMeTim 10y agoI have been reluctant to use a service that keeps my passwords for me in the cloud. Instead I'm using KeePass. KeePass is open source and has its "full stack" of encryption available for review. For LastPass I need to trust they're doing everything right, and that a government actor hasn't asked for some kind of backdoor. It's so easy to screw up security that I'm more comfortable trusting two levels of security: That KeePass has its encryption done right, and that Google Drive keeps my KeePass file out of the hands of bad-guys. LastPass would become a single point of failure compared to what I'm doing: They just need to make one mistake and suddenly any bad guy gets all of my passwords. Nice feature for LastPass, though.
