There are LastPass apps for iOS and Android phones and tablets, and you can always get to your information from the LastPass website. Sign up for it at On a computer, most of you will use the Chrome extension that puts a LastPass icon in the upper right corner. There will be far less of a chance that you’ll be hacked by someone running algorithms to guess your password, and you won’t have to worry about other accounts if one of your passwords leaks out in a large-scale hack of a big company.

Once you have confidence in LastPass (or any password manager), you can use unique random passwords (the ones that look like this: g88*GZ&HwRx) for every website. It’s more convenient and more secure than a notebook in the desk drawer or any password system that relies on your memory. The most important thing you can do to improve your security is to use LastPass.
