Follow up:

For those of you who are not passsword minded, I have a solution (Min, this means you):
"Passphrases"

Consider this password:
"fuck bible Thumpers, get common sense"

Rather secure and easy to remember.

Just be sure to have that comma ',' in there -- it'll screw with a password cracker.

Yeah I started using passphrases, took a while to get used to, but they're just as easy to remember as any normal password.

Downloaded last pass why does it not seem to make any difference?

Changed my password to a more complicated one. The original would of been a little difficult to guess, but have made a longer and more difficult one to guess.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

You have to fiddle around with a little. First, make sure the app is activated on your browser. If you are using Google Chrome, click the little red and silver star thing to the right of the address bar and sign in. Then you will have to login to each of your accounts and choose to save them to LastPass (there should be a pop up at the top of the screen). You can also manually add the passwords to your vault, but for them to autofill your passwords, you must have it activated on your browser. Saving them in your vault and just checking them when you need to is fine as well. Big Grin

Do I have to change my password AGAIN?!?!

I gets done on a yearly basis (I think) Do I need to change it NOW?

If it's a short password, yes.

If it's long -- probably not.
