[整理]发现个比RoboForm方便的密码管理软件LastPass

2010年2月13日 Galaxy 发表评论 阅读评论

以前一直用Roboform来管理密码,有Keygen也就不在乎是否需要交米。后来,打算用Linux,却被这个问题困扰了——Roboform没有Linux版。
KeePass是Open Source的,但在浏览器整合上没Roboform方便。KeeForm和KeePass Toolbar也不支持Linux。
刚刚上wiki看到KeePassX(其实Gentoo装的就是这个…),但还是没自动填表,非要drag’n’drop fields。(确实有Auto-Type,不过,是SendKey之类的东东。)
偶然间,看到LastPass,虽然是在线的,但国外的在线服务总比国内的可信,比如Gmail。看完privacy,感觉还行。至于是否保存三次元的密码(就素那些银行帐号啥的),Galaxy还没想好。

转两个介绍:

Five Windows tools to keep your digital life in sync

LastPass

Price: Free (premium edition $12/year)

System requirements: Windows 2000/XP/Vista (IE 5.5+, Firefox 2+), OS X 10.4+ (Firefox only), Linux i386 and x86_64 (Firefox only)
现在已经支持Google Chrome和Safari(.dmg)了。

Last year, when I put together a list of my 10 favorite Windows programs of all time, one of the superstars on that list was RoboForm. Since then, I’ve found a replacement that does everything RoboForm can do and more—and it’s completely free.

LastPass will make you more secure online, period. It combines a well-designed web service with browser add-ons (for IE on Windows and Firefox on Windows, OS X, and Linux). The first time you visit a web page that requires you to log on with a user name and password, LastPass records the credentials so that you can fill them in automatically later. When you register for a new account at a web page, you can use a secure password generator to create, enter, and save a random, impossible-to-guess password exclusively for that site.

What makes LastPass different from RoboForm is its superb web-based integration. Every time you save a set of credentials, that information is encrypted locally on your computer, using AES-256 keys and a master password only you know. To retrieve the encrypted data, you have to supply the same master password, and again the decryption is done locally.

If you’re sitting down at someone else’s computer, you can retrieve usernames and saved passwords from the lastpass.com website. But the system really shines when you install the browser plug-in, which takes a few seconds and allows you to work with your password vault on a new PC immediately. You can also create and store personal data for use in auto-filling forms, another RoboForm feature that LastPass frankly does better.

The creators of LastPass, which just came out of beta a few weeks ago, promise that the basic service will be free in perpetuity, with only some unobtrusive ads to generate revenue. For an extra $12 a year, you can use the Premium version, which adds support for Blackberry devices (iPhone support is up next) and two-factor authentication via Yubikey. But the free version does everything most people will need, and I recommend it enthusiastically.

最后,它的官方中文名叫“终码”,不过不咋出名。
还有,Chrome插件的中文翻译超烂,竟有翻错的;Firefox插件的没那么差,但Galaxy还是换回英文版。
