Using a Browser-Based Password Management Application In this project, you use the LastPass application installed in the previous project.
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Notice that you now have a LastPass button at the top of the screen. Click LastPass.
3. Enter your Master Password and then click Login.
4. Point your Web browser to a Web site you frequently use that requires you to enter your username and password.
5. Enter your username and password. Notice that LastPass now asks Should LastPass remember this password? Click Save Site.
6. When the Add LastPass Site window opens, enter Test for the group and click Save Site.
7. Log out of the Web site.
8. Point your Web browser again to that site. Notice that this time your username and password are already entered for you. Log on to this site.
9. Log out of the Web site.
10. Now log into two other Web sites and record their passwords in LastPass.
11. Close the Web browser.
12. Reopen the Web browser and click the LastPass icon on the toolbar. Notice that you are still logged in.
13. Revisit the two Web sites in Step 10 for which you recorded your LastPass information. What happens when you go to these sites? Your LastPass passwords can be retrieved from any other computer's Web browser that has LastPass installed; you are not restricted to only this computer.
14. Because your login information automatically appears in LastPass, you do not have to memorize any account passwords and can instead create strong passwords for each account. Is this an application that would help users create and use strong passwords? What are the strengths of browser-based password programs? What are the weaknesses? How does LastPass compare to KeePass? Would you use LastPass?
15. Close all windows.
