LastPass
"'Don't put all your eggs in one basket' is all wrong. I tell you 'put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.'" -- Andrew Carnegie, 1885
When it comes to privacy tools, Andrew Carnegie is usually dead wrong. In the case of password managers, however, Carnegie is usually more dead than wrong. So much of our online privacy and security rely on guarding the single digital basket -- a well-chosen password manager -- into which we've entrusted every login key. To wit, I've been using LastPass so long I don't know when I started using LastPass. But now -- with new restrictions on LastPass' once-legendary free service and the discovery of the web-trackers in the software -- I'm finally making the switch.
