Free Password Management Add-on for Firefox
My husband just recently introduced me to a great, free password security add-on for Firefox called LastPass. It also works in IE and some other browsers as well. It’s called LastPass, and I would definitely recommend that you check it out if you are not currently using something to store your passwords, or if you are unhappy with what you are currently using.
The basics are the following: after you’ve downloaded the add-on (only takes a few moments), LastPass will automatically grab all usernames and passwords that you currently have stored on your browser. After it sucks them all in, it will ask if you want to delete the originals off the computer (which you do because what’s the point of getting LastPass otherwise?). LastPass has a little icon up in the right corner of the browser where you can access all of your information. You’ll just want to make sure to go through the sites that it grabbed off your browser an edit anything that you want to (like auto-login status, favorites, security password, etc.) When you go to any page that requires a log in not already in Last Pass, it will save it for you once you have entered your info. for the first time.
The most important thing to remember about LastPass, however is your main password. You have to come up with a huge multi-character password to start that will be your number one password. All other passwords are safely stored and easily displayed when you need them. The only time you would need the big one is if you want to use LastPass on another computer, or if you want to add an extra security measure to any of your existing sites. So, just make sure to keep it in a safe place as LastPass doesn’t store the biggie.
LastPass has a lot of other nice features, as well including automatic form fill in. You can enter as many categories as you want to (personal, business, or specifics that you need only for specific sites) and LastPass will automatically fill out the forms for you at the site. So check it out! You can’t beat free!
