The problem with KeePass, LastPass, etc. is that you need to hear about them, look them up, and install them. Things would be much simpler if the browser included a similar functionality by default.
Unfortunately, all three major browser vendors seem too busy pushing their own single sign-on schemes (Chrome: Google account, IE: Microsoft account, Mozilla: Persona). So they're unlikely to pay any attention to plain old password generation and storage for the foreseeable future. Which is a real pity because passwords aren't going to disappear overnight.

Looks like this is being done.
- dublinben 13y agoInstead of using a cross-browser solution that works today, you're complaining that the browser makers haven't created their own schemes.
- kijin 13y agoI use LastPass, thank you very much. My only complaint is that most other people don't, and I think browser vendors are partly to blame for not doing what they can to bring about a large-scale adoption of password generation & storage best practices.
