It is no longer just one computer or one browser, but like Ishan said, it is being able to use switch between computers and browsers as well as the multitude of mobile devices out there. At least LastPass attempts to solve this problem nicely (they have browser plugins and native clients for most platforms, including mobile ones). Also, they store the passwords online after it is already encrypted by the client (ie., they never leave your pc or mobile unencrypted), so even it is compromised, it needs an NSA level hacking job to make sense of it.

@Shatimi: I respect your opinion, but don’t agree with your verdict. Personally I have been using these plugin based password managers simply because they work in all the browsers. The native Password manager of Chrome is not much helpful for those who use multiple browsers (I use all 3: IE, Firefox, Chrome).

  1. What’s wrong with the native, built-in password manager of Chrome?
  2. Do you want to tell me, that all these managers store MY passwords ONLINE? With hackers and stuff being like a widespread disease? And some passwords can open really confidential doors.
  3. What’s wrong with KeePass? It’s open-source, offline and it generates secure passwords. Sure, you need to do some extra clicks - like, copy-paste the name and pass manually - but it’s a small price to pay.

Verdict. Online password managers are a failure at their core.
