During the install of this on Win7 you'll come to a point where it will ask you if you want to proceed AND ERASE ALL LOCAL PASSWORDS ON YOUR SYSTEM. Figuring, ok, I have BACKUPS, why not then allow my pws to exist on their encrypted server instead? I guess that might be ok, but then after ok'ing it, the installer's next step was to Import my passwords. OK, seems logical, but then the usual green progess bar would just burp at the seeming end and restart itself, over and over, for half an hour.
I finally used the Task Manager to break out of the process. Then, logging into the LP site, I can see that my passwords are in their Vault. Good, ok, but because I broke the installer process it never got to the point of installing a Firefox or IE add-on, nor did it erase my non-secured passwords. Without LP running, my Fox still will auto-fill my credentials. I'm not sure how bad that is, but whatever functions the add-ons ADD are not there. I looked around the LP site for add-ons installers but no go. I emailed the LP folks but they're busy with supporting paying users, no reply.
Obviously this works well for most, but I just got fed up and uninstalled it.

I don't get why other people seem not to like this great little app, it's dead simple and works a treat.
Takes about two minutes to gain an understanding and start using it.
Even installs in SeaMonkey (my favorite and default browser) and just works.
I hope I've dispelled some of the FUD that's been posted here, there's not much, but there shouldn't be any.

Do I have to create an account?? I don't want my passwords sent anywhere, encrypted or not, trusted or not, I want to store my stuff LOCALLY. Plus I get a pop up saying my passwords will be less secure if I use LastPass to store my passwords. Seriously, what the....?
No thanks. While the interface and setup looked so promising, I don't care for the funky way this is run. I did try to store them locally but found absolutely no way to do so.
I'll use something else.

Absolutely awesome. Like Keepass, you can choose to use a portable, secure, and zero-installation app on a thumb drive...but why bother?
The real strength of LastPass is its impressive combination of seamless convenience and rugged security. Simply install the extension/add-on/doodad to whichever browser you`re using, and the LastPass feature train starts flying along. Auto-Login? OK. Autofill, but don`t auto-login? Cool with that. Fill in arcane, specific,and different data types into an array of unusual field types, all of which I`d rather LastPass auto-detected? LP has got your back, bro.
