BTW: None of the pw mgrs deal with "apps", i.e. those stupid "I dont wanna be a web page" things that infest our phones.
So if you have a login relating to an app, LastPass, 1Password etc will only be a nice cut/paste alternative for you. BTW: I'm curious how many of us use a pw mgr and their generated passwords. I always feel a bit reluctant to give up control of my passwords to an app/extension. On the other hand it sure is secure and unique per site. OTOH: I *really* want Google's authentication 2-factor app to be used by other sites so that 2 factor can be managed by a single PIN generator. My bank still uses a dongle, alas. Not sure about recent 2-factor use .. Dropbox, for example has it I think. I can just see it now: 50 2-factor PIN generators.
