Anyone else using "Dashlane" for their passwords?

[Horitexan]

After all the news coverage on the Heartbleed vulnerability lately, I finally took the plunge and signed up for Dashlane to manage my password security. So far, it seems terrific; with lots of features that will make life online a lot easier and safer.

Just curious whether anyone else is using it or prefers a different service? I'm still in the 30-day trial so I can switch if theres a better one out there?

I jumped on the Dashlane bandwagon because I saw a report on it on Fox and several experts on the report recommended it. Mainly, they were talking about the high level of encryption that Dashlane uses. I'm going to check out those others too, though. Thanks for the info, guys.

I'm not good enough to really explain it but your passwords are stored with them so you don't have to log into websites any more (it does it for you) and it can create these crazy complicated passwords. So, you can have all these impossible-to-crack passwords (a different one for EVERY site you log in to) and you don't have to remember them. Even the company has no way to access the encrypted info. You create a master password that's the key to the encryption (God help you if you forget it because nobody but you has it! Lol!) and that's all you have to remember. Makes changing passwords really easy too. Plus, it has an ewallet component so you can keep all your banking info on there and it makes online purchases safer & easier. It also keeps all of your receipts for purchases in one handy place and you can auto-fill forms with it. It's a little scary putting all your personal info into something online but you only put what YOU want to in there. I did a lot of research before I signed on and I couldn't find I've negative report on it. In fact, all those security guys testifying before congress about the obamacare website vulnerabilities specifically recommended that everyone use Dashlane or "something similar." I figured I'd try the name brand they mentioned.

Nothing about having all of your passwords & financial data in one place sounds SMART!

Sounds like a gold mine for the NSA. You know they have a back door.

I don't think I'm comfortable having that much info in one place.
