Hi, I’m LastPass!
Some call me “The Last Password You’ll Have to Remember,” and I’d have to say: that’s pretty accurate!* My job is to make it easy to secure your passwords. You only have to remember one (sufficiently strong)** unique master password.
How I work, in a nutshell:

In my next post, I’ll explain how to install me on your computer. It’s pretty easy, not to mention “required by NTC’s Information Security Policy.” Which is really another way of saying, “It’s fun!”
Your Friend,
LastPass
* (There may be a password or two you’ll have to keep in your head, but the majority of passwords you can “set and forget”)
