It is possible to make lastpass automatically login when open the browser?

@maylolik When you install Lastpass it will ask you; "Do you want to import your Firefox (or any browser you're using) passwords. So short answer is YES it will IMPORT them

[maylolik]

Can you import all your logins/passwords from firefox or do you have to visit all those sites again and enter them individually?

I forgot the last password I had to remember lol jk

@TrojanMuzic it's almost like using the rem door lock 4 ur car, someone can sit there, snoop the radio transmission, decrypt the signal, then make another remote using your signal, thus unlocking your car. are we really going to live in so much fear that we dont use remote door locks? One thing I learned studying IT security, it is that you trade security for convenience. Keep in mind I would not use lastpass for corporate or banks, but its nice to have dozens saved anywhere u go.

@djlowtek encrypted data doesn't mean safe, a massive company such as Sony admitted that the credit card details stored weren't "encrypted" enough. So I'm sure if Sony weren't able to encrypt it well enough, LastPass developers couldn't either. Encrypted data can be decrypted if you try hard enough ;]

@TrojanMuzic I see, yet there would be no point in hacking laspass since all passwords stored there are ENCRYPTED (same with hacking into the secret file of a linux machine), all you get is hash crap that will NOT WORK if you tried to use it. Hashed (encryped) data is useless and is simply junk without the decryption key.

Check out passwordfox, or chromepass to see how easy it is to extract passwords from your browser, compare that with military grade encryption lol. Pointless to argue.

@djlowtek is that why they've been hacked?

LASTPASS IS FUCKING GR8

@djlowtek My point was that they developed an addon for Firefox to store passwords when Firefox already has this functionality. The logic wasn't there.

Regardless, I'd trust my own browser storing passwords in 2 separate files (but needed together to work) which can't be opened by simple text editors over some separate third party application which just runs as an addon.

Things like the Gawker attack have showed me that using remote servers to store sensitive information is a bad thing to do.
