Best free password managers, auto fillers and rescuers


LastPass encrypts and hosts your passwords, to you use them from whatever location you are at the moment. You need to remember or save locally a master password. All encryption and decryption occurs locally, not on remote servers. Sensitive data won’t travel over the Internet but only encrypted. LastPass gives you also tools to generate secure, non-guessable passwords. My experience from LastPass is excellent. It works without problems, it is secure and it is very convenient. If you need a password manager that is also able to auto fill forms, you cannot ignore LastPass.

S10 Password Vault is free for personal use only.
