LastPass is a browser add-on that let’s you store all of your passwords in the cloud, with encryption and password protection built in.

It’s definitely a unique concept to most and it might be hard to adopt…at first.

What happens after you start using it is nothing short of amazing!

Let’s take my personal usage for example. I visit a site for the first time. I decide I want to register with the site. I start to enter my details and then remember that I have a great tool at my disposal. I have already created a custom profile for this situation. Why not utilize it? I make a few mouse clicks and I’m surfing secure and happy.

When you start using LastPass, it’s easy to miss all the cool features below the surface. Sure, it’s a killer password saving utility, but even more it’s got a lot of junk below the trunk.

One of the coolest “hidden” features of LastPass is the “Profile” feature. You can set up an almost infinite amount of profiles if you want. One good use would be to set up your legitimate info in one profile. When you go to new sites to buy something, you can use LastPass’s “Fill Form” to quickly fill in all your info. It is very cool and saves loads of time.

The uses of LastPass are more than meets the eye. If you have an interesting use, please share with a comment.
