Came across this article today on forbes.com and was recently thinking about signing up for LastPass to actually keep track of my passwords because I'm looking to get away from just having Google Chrome remember all of my passwords for obvious reasons, is there anyway to really keep track of your passwords securely?

'So major password manager firms will be feeling the heat today after a report from Independent Security Evaluators (ISE) found fundamental flaws that expose user credentials in computer memory while locked. According to the researchers, this renders them “no more secure than saving passwords in a text file”.'
 
'The ISE evaluated 1Password, Dashlane, KeePass and LastPass, which are used by a total of 60 Million users and 93,000 Businesses globally. It found that all the products failed to provide the security to safeguard a user’s passwords “as advertised”.'
 
'the researchers found that in some circumstances, the master password was residing in the computer’s memory in a plain text readable format.'
 
The original report by ISE here:

In any case, this is fairly worrying. Lots of people use lastpass, and I think they even sporsored LTT quite a few times.

Hey guys!
 
So as some of you may know, last Wednesday we created and released an Official LTT Discord to the Floatplane sub-forum. We wanted a bit of breathing room and time to fix bugs with permissions, work out rules, and other things before going ahead with a public launch. It seems like we've worked out most of the kinks so we're going ahead and launch this to you awesome peeps over here in the forum and our socials before later expanding to our YouTube community.
 
There's already more than 4000 people on the server but this is still a "soft launch" for now. Eventually you'll probably start hearing "and check our Discord server @ discord.gg/ltt" at the end of videos, but for now we're just publishing it here, and on social platforms.
 
Join the Discord!  
 
PLEASE NOTE: Your Discord account MUST have a verified phone number to chat at all. We also recommend link your forum account to the discord! There is also some exclusive Floatplane member chat rooms, as well as automated notifications for video releases (the floatplane rank will sync when you link accounts).
 
Enjoy,
