Hi everyone,

I just came across this project called LessPass, which doesn’t require a database as a back-end and can compute passwords on the fly instead of storing them. The idea really intrigued me, and I wanted to know from the community about the experience of using it - did you run into any troubles with it? How does it compare to more traditional password managers (which would need me to think of a back-up strategy)?

Is it possible to back up your passwords from LessPass? Can you use your own passwords when you prefer to? How are the client programs?

Thanks!

    LessPass has the possibility to connect to a database (via its API) to store the configurations made for each site. This API can be used from any of the clients (either the browser extension, the mobile application, etc.).

    You set up the DB server wherever you want. If you want something light you can use this implementation. And if you are interested, there is also a command line client.
