About LessPass
LessPass is a stateless password manager. Rather than keeping an encrypted vault of passwords, it derives each site's password on demand from details you enter, together with a master password, so there is no password database to sync or back up.
It is used through its web app at lesspass.com. It suits people who want a password generator with no stored vault, and who are comfortable regenerating passwords rather than saving them.
Strengths
- No password database to store, sync or leak
- Passwords can be regenerated wherever you use it
- Open source
Limitations
- Changing a password means changing the inputs used to derive it
- Cannot store existing passwords or other secrets
