Short story, if you use a long good master password, you dont have to trust them, even if they are evil or servers get attacked, if you attempt to bruteforce AES 256, the information might get decrypted for your grand-grand-grand-grand children to look at, or said otherwise, when the human race has move civilization to mars.
We’ve used LastPass online for 2 years now, no problems whatsoever, and we store credit cards on every account we use!
We left RoboForm because it was hacked on our systems by a Trojan virus which compromised our financial data.
RoboForm is still hackable (apparently!) and we’d like to keep our Identities ours.
Citrix is a ripoff, all their products are overpriced and there are better, free alternatives out there. Instead of paying out the ass for GoToAssist, check out TeamViewer (it’s free)
He mentioned you can only have one SSL certificate bound per IP address. This is wrong, you can have one per PORT on an IP address.
@bestSVMS You’re incredibly wrong about this. If you want to test it out yourself email us at support@lastpass.com.
Lots of “can-we-trust-them” posts here…
Is Steve Gibson trustworthy? In five years of podcasts I have yet to see him being called out over a major issue. That he is humble enough to correct errors on the show makes him more trustworthy than most for-profit corporations who never “admit to wrongdoing”. We all trust Google with our passwords with neither source nor audit. You’ve got to draw the line somewhere.
I use LastPass and I trust them. They have too much to lose if they mess up.
gangz im with you, how can we sure about it?
to what i know = don’t trust anyone on the net. keep your password only with you and change them from time to time.
keepass can be safe because you can check if it broadcast to the net.
I hour and 4 minutes into the video Steve talks about a site name he makes up that we can’t trust, so what does this really tell us, who can we really trust and oh because LastPass is some fancy name we can now all trust it? As an IT Tech you can never be sure of anyone you put your trust in on the internet and this means LastPass too!
Only problem is that they haven’t been security audeted, and there is no source availible. There is no way to check of they do everything they say, such as not storing your password, encyrpting properyly, or making sure they aren’t sending back you passwords

@Austinmassee
Geez, you have the attention span of a 2 weeks old kitten.
It starts at 0:52:00
I’m only six minutes in. This video is incredibly long.
I am excited to hear about last pass tho. Eventually?
