Why is an account needed for the demo??? That turned me off enough to give up. I am tired of having to create an account for everything and anything - and it makes managing passwords harder, or promotes using weaker passwords. I don't want to live in a world where each step I take on the internet requires a separate account/password!

I guess this doesn't bother me anymore. I've used Lastpass for the last 5 or 6 years. Not having strong, separate passwords for any site requiring an account, is so 2007...

My experience as well. Plus, my passwords became stronger. If I know I won't remember it anyway, why stop at 10-15 character passwords? I just crank it up to 40 characters of gibberish, and let LastPass do the remembering. I love it.

Just so you know the demo is wiped every 24 hours or so, and you don't have to confirm your email address. Just go try it out with [email protected] and give a "password" password and you're in!

It's a demo. Just make a fake account using a fake email address or use a temporary email service. Works fine.

It's a demo site dropped and rebuilt every night. Register with a mailinator email not to reveal your own.
