Hi everyone,

I just came across this project called LessPass, which doesn’t require a database as a back-end and can compute passwords on the fly instead of storing them. The idea really intrigued me, and I wanted to know from the community about the experience of using it - did you run into any troubles with it? How does it compare to more traditional password managers (which would need me to think of a back-up strategy)?

Is it possible to back up your passwords from LessPass? Can you use your own passwords when you prefer to? How are the client programs?

Thanks!

    The fact that all your passwords change if you change your master password is not great.

      They need to use a key to generate the passwords that your master password unlocks or whatever, then you can change the password.

      Buuut then you’d have to store the key…
