You can install LastPass as a plugin on your browser and download it as an app for your phone. LastPass is a password manager that stores all of your passwords in encrypted form. It’s about the changing nature of computer security and what it means for you.

But this story is about more than a “free” app giving me what I paid for (nothing). It turns out I’m far from the only one who’s had a problem with a password manager. That day finally came last week when LastPass surrendered its last password.

It stored all of my passwords on my laptop and recalled them securely whenever I needed them. Before passwords got complicated, and before the massive data breaches scared the living daylights out of us, LastPass was the perfect app for remembering my login information.
