Most crackers would try different variations of your old passwords, since that is what most people do when forced to change passwords. I don't see the value of that other than keeping a casual person from using your password that is stored in plain text.

And LastPass doesn't know you master password, so even if someone broke into LastPass's server and stole your database, they still don't have the master password to decrypt your database. By you do need to make sure you have backups of your KeePass database and preferably at least one backup outside of you home.Īnd for companies such as LastPass that do store your passwords on their servers, the password database is encrypted using your master password before they are sent to LastPass's servers. It isn't a company, it's just a program and your password won't be stored on a server unless you put it there. If you aren't comfortable storing your passwords on someone else's server you could look at KeePass. Is it conceivable that such a password management company could be compromised and then a hacker knows EVERY password? Can't seem to grasp how the security would be better with a password manager than with say, Target.
