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!
Despite what others are saying, I’ve been using it for a couple years and it can work great.
The key is to just use it as a sync system. E.g. avoid the risk of cloud storage, at the risk of having passwords stored locally. When I’m out, or using someone else’s device I can still always get my password. Even though they’re not in the cloud.
When I’m on my personal machine, I just let the local autofill save them.
There are a couple caveats.
I don’t understand. Why would I save my passwords in the browser of I’m using a password manager?
It avoids the need for cloud storage.
If I’m out somewhere, with no device on me, I can still generate my passwords
