Review: LastPass For Windows Phone 7

One of the best Windows Phone application for storing your hard to remember passwords, is LastPass, an app we found ourselves falling in love with. If you are a regular user of the popular desktop browsers, there is a high chance you might have heard of LastPass, if not, let us break it down a notch for you.

The main use of LastPass is to store and secure your passwords for all the websites you log into on a daily basis. Passwords are stored in the cloud, so if you should lose your internet connection, well, tough luck bud. The application gives you the convenience to have access to your passwords anywhere, however, after the trial, you will be asked to fork out $12 per annum, which is not bad, especially if you are a regular user on the desktop.

LastPass for Windows Phone is straightforward. Log in by entering your email address and password, from there the app takes you to your vault where you can edit and add new passwords. Sadly, if you tap on one the saved websites, LastPass fails to launch IE9 and instead fires up its own version of IE. We would have preferred to have easy access to IE from the browser, but that is not the case.

If you are going to use the default browser and want to log into your favorite website, it won’t be easy. Right off the back you will have to launch the LastPass application, copy paste the details into the browser and off you go.

We love this application, and although some of the problems can be an annoyance, they weren’t enough to persuade us to look the other way.
