In this day in age, everything needs a password. With Identity theft issues on the rise, it is also important that you don't use the same password across multiple sites, and that your passwords be a mix of numbers, symbols, upper and lowercase letters (you know the drill!).

To keep track of all of them can be a pretty challenging task! Most people either resort to

1. using the same password across multiple sites and adding the site or a variation of it at the end. (EXAMPLE: Password123!-amazon)
2. writing all their passwords in a book, slips of paper, or post-it notes.

The reality is neither of these methods are that secure. A better alternative is to use an online Password Manager. An online Password Manager requires you to remember just 1 password: the Master Password. It then stores all your other passwords in it. Most of them generate secure passwords for you, and some of them allow you to store more than just website passwords. These sites are highly secure and encrypted to protect your sensitive information.

Since we deal with a lot of Client passwords for their e-mails, hosting accounts, CPanels, you name it, it is essential that we use a secure Password Manager to protect that information, as well as our own passwords/etc.

That is why we store all are Passwords in LastPass.

LastPass is loaded with features. You can store just about anything in it you can think of: Websites, Software Licenses, Passport, ID Cards, Insurance Documents, Gift Cards, and the list goes on and on. You can even write Secure Notes and upload attachments. If none of their templates work for you, you can create your own!

LastPass also has some great sharing features - including a really neat family account with emergency contact feature. With this set up you designate someone as the emergency contact and set the number of days to reject a request (lets say 3). If something were to happen to you, the emergency contact can ""request access"" to your saved passwords/etc. and if you don't reject that request after the days specified (3 in this example) then access is granted. This is great for things like insurance documents/etc.
