The LastPass plugin on my Firefox browser used to open a login window and after logging in, it would display a drop down window with My Vault and other things like Generate Passwords that I used to use. This plugin stopped working.
My work around is to log into the
https://www.lastpass.com web page and then to find the Generate Passwords and other options when I need them.
Is there something wrong with my plugin or has there been some sort of design change?
Does LastPass store my passwords locally or on a server?
If LastPass stores any of my information on a server, is my information encrypted?
If LastPass encrypts my information, does it do so in an automated way and does it do so in a unique way such that my information is automatically and uniquely encrypted in a different way from any other LastPass customer?
The reason I ask is because the
https://www.tutanota.com email service says that they have servers that uniquely and automatically encrypt each customers email and that the people who work to support their email service do not have the keys or encryption methods to access or hack or look at or pry into my private emails.
I wish that all of my information were uniquely encrypted end to end on the internet and I wish that all self describing data streams transmitted and stored across the internet were wrapped in uniquely encrypted formulas with dual keys so that each and every network message and piece of information I generate locally and across the internet stored on servers were uniquely encrypted. This is the only way to ensure privacy and retain freedom and independence on the internet.
I do what I can locally by encrypting all of the devices that I use uniquely and do not mind the performance impact. If LastPass does not use the same approach that the people at Tutanota use, I would encourage you to consider doing so and offering this as a free option to all of your customers making sure they are asked up front and during upgrades if they would like to use this encryption feature to protect their privacy.
I love the Tutanota email feature that allows me to send encrypted emails and then to communicate the key to these via some other method of communications. I also like their email feature that allows me to send emails to others that are not encrypted. I wish LastPass, Google, FaceBook, Twitter and all of the social media platforms would offer unique encryption for each customer and make our information more private than it is today.
Seeing some of the things that have been happening on the internet in recent years, it is about time our technology people get out in front on this and stop being naive about how some people, organizations and governments will abuse such an open system. If software people can invent self describing network messages, they certainly can wrap these with encryption formulas and key exchanges so that an individual can create, store, read and write information in a secure way across the internet and be able to share what they wish with whom they wish and no one else. This is just an idea, not necessarily a good one or one that is good for everyone. I'd just like to have the freedom to choose for myself instead of just being out here hoping for the best and the good intentions of anyone and everyone who can gain access to anything and everything I do on the internet.
