I’m so reliant on LastPass autofill these days that I dread going back to the dark days of doing life without a password manager (even if Google Password Manager is free). If that doesn’t work, there are straightforward solutions to extend the password length or add/remove in uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols. Most of the time you won’t have to change a thing and can copy/paste the secure password to your new account. Better still, a right-click anywhere in Chrome opens the LastPass password generator for secure password creation with easy-to-tweak parameters.
Whenever I create a new account somewhere in Chrome, LastPass pops up for a single-click way to add that password to my vault. I tend to use LastPass reactively for sites that need credentials, rarely opting to manually search in the odd instances when a credentials recommendation is off or for a non-browser login portal. Instead of having to remember one password, you just remember one. Like all password managers, all of your precious credentials are hidden behind a single master password. Google Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, and I’ve been using the LastPass Chrome extension for years. Nor is there any need to give up entirely and use multiple clicks via the browser extension. That’s not the case after the most recent update, which means no games of trying to find the pixel around the eye icon that lets you actually get to LastPass. While this is where LastPass excels, it also used to offer its one-click credentials prompt beneath the eye icon that shows your password. This means LastPass and other password managers tend to be most useful as Chrome browser extensions (or whatever other browser you use).
Password managers are at their best where they’re most useful: for website credentials. LastPass rolled out a well-time update just before I started this review, which addressed one of my biggest gripes.
