Reviewing Lastpass and its Security

At California State University, Northridge I took a computer security class. Computer Security has always been a hobby of mine. I always listen to Security Now religiously. Security became a hobby when I owned and hosted my onetechtip.com website and my website got compromised. At the time I had very little knowledge about security so I was forced to wipe everything and start over. This experience then fueled my fire to learn about security. 

On the Security Now Podcast I learned about a password manager called LastPass. Lastpass helps you manage and produce strong passwords. It auto fills passwords so you do not have to remember all your unique long complicated strong passwords per each website. I quickly adapted this service and have been using it since. A question arose Security Now Podcast, "How secure is LastPass?". This fueled my interest to listen closely to the co-host Steve Gibson review the technology. I listened closely and it fascinated me.

While I was taking the computer security class at CSUN I was instructed to write a paper on Security. I choose to re-analyze the technology and write a paper.
