That might sound a bit risky, but LastPass is password-protected too \u201d\u201c it\u2019s the last password you\u2019ll ever have to remember, hence the name LastPass.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Why is it surprisingly easy?<\/h4>\n<p>As well as helping you to remember the 265 million passwords you currently store somewhere in your head, LastPass also encourages you to improve your online security by setting up different passwords for every account. This is especially important after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/technology-27681236\">\u201d\u02dctwo weeks to cyber-password-apocalypse\u2019<\/a> news story that did the rounds earlier this year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The best bit<\/h4>\n<p>LastPass is very easy to set up; all you have to do is log-in to your favourite sites and LastPass will do the rest. It also syncs across various devices, so you can access any passwords you saved on your phone on your PC and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t even have to open LastPass to fill out your passwords, as it\u2019ll fill your log-ins for you. All you have to do is enter your LastPass master password.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The downside<\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019re in a bit of a pickle if someone discovers what your master password is. It doesn\u2019t automatically locate your passwords when you\u2019re setting it up either, so you\u2019ll need to reset any you\u2019ve forgotten before adding it to LastPass. But hey, at least you won\u2019t forget it again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/lastpass-for-premium-customers\/id324613447?mt=8\">Download LastPass on iOS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.lastpass.lpandroid&amp;hl=en_GB\">Download LastPass on Android<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Wednesday, we bring you an app that\u2019ll make your life easier.
