Remembering passwords is difficult nowadays. Between all of the crazy site-mandated requirements and the directive of never reusing the same password on multiple sites, the human brain is outmatched. It is for this reason that I, and many others, swear by password managers. Not only do they securely store login credentials, but can generate ultra-secure passwords too.

While there are many companies that offer such solutions, I stick with LastPass. Why? Linux. Yes, LastPass is one of the only solutions that works with all major operating systems, including Linux distributions. By default, many users of Ubuntu, Fedora, Chrome OS, and more, choose LastPass because there aren't many other options. Sadly, today, it is revealed that this password manager is at risk of a nasty phishing vulnerability. The author, Sean Cassidy, has published details about what he has dubbed 'LostPass'.
