LastPass Password Manager Introduces New Mac App

I'm a recent convert to 1Password from Keychain but this statement is simply untrue if you have ever looked at the Keychain preferences. For any keychain on the Mac you can choose a separate password than your login password, and, you can set what time period can elapse before it will lock (same as 1Password). If Keychain is properly used it is no less secure than 1Password. In either use-case you simply cannot walk away from your Mac unless you have locked Keychain or 1Password first.

With that said, 1Password is certainly more secure and convenient than using Keychain in conjunction with browsers like Chrome (yes Chrome does use Keychain). I'm loving 1Password and appreciate the polish, security, and support it provides.

Yes, I can set a different *keychain* password. But when you use Safari to save a web password, you do not ever go into keychain or need to worry about keychain. If Safari saves the web login, you only need to open Safari, go to a site, and Safari enters the info. With Safari saving passwords, you do not have to type in a password at first launch, such as you do with 1Password.

I'd recommend against installing this kind of software from the Mac App Store. If there's a security problem, you want it patched immediately. That doesn't happen on the Mac App Store as all updates have to go through Apple's approval process.

i am still confuse that why we need for apps like last pass its way to invites hackers to hack single account so they can easily access all data from my last pass like app account. If i have used my mail pass word like example.example than i am sure that for last pass also use example.example or add some xyz with this. so its not to hard task to hack from hackers
