Two-factor paper passwords

I think this approach is better for your mom than for your average developer. I use LastPass and it continues to be difficult even for me to use, less savvy people wouldn't have a hope.

How is it difficult? I trust the security settings on my laptop, so I'm always logged in on my main browser. The process is as simple as entering the website and clicking on log in. When I register to something new, I just click on "save password". I generate passwords using Alt+G.

Comparing this to not using password managers, (in my opinion) I would say that LastPass is both easier and safer alternative than not using one.

I'm also a Lastpass user, and while the service is near to flawless, I keep thinking that the UI is really bad. I wish they could work on that.

Yeah. It's slow, and just plain badly designed in places - crucial interactions hidden behind icon-only menus etc. I really hope they sort it out one day.
