LastPass pocket – encrypted passwords on USB

I log into perhaps 40 different websites a day.

Rather than remember all those passwords, I use free software called LastPass, recommended by the Security Now blog.

But what happens when my laptop is lost or stolen?

Ah ha. I’m now carrying a backup of that encrypted data (and more) on a USB stick. I can access it by master password from any computer.

LastPass Pocket is a stand-alone application providing storage capability and offline access of your LastPass vault. …

Pocket can be installed from the download page for Windows, Mac, or Linux and then dragged and dropped onto your USB drive. You can double-click the file to launch it from the USB drive, prompting you to login to your account. After logging in, Pocket decrypts your data and displays all of your sites and Secure Notes in a searchable interface.
