The popular security service LastPass has finally spawned a native application for Mac users, enabling them to safely store all their credentials in one vault on their computer for easy access when needed.

Mostly known on mobile platforms and as an add-on for web browsers, LastPass is finally a native Mac app that offers the necessary tools to access user names, passwords, credit card information, social networking accounts, and sensitive notes. All you have to remember is a master password, which opens them all up.

With the free version you can sync your passwords and logins across all your devices with LastPass installed, save and autofill usernames and passwords for an unlimited number of online accounts, speed up your online shopping with form fill profiles, create secure notes containing sensitive information, search user names and sites across the app, organize your stuff with folders, and more.

The password audit area lets you check the strength of your passwords, including how old they are, ensuring you never hold on to a weak password for too long. For peace of mind, you can even apply two-factor authentication to secure your master password.

Premium Features

There are also some premium features to be had with LastPass, including unlimited mobile access, a shared family folder, multi-factor authentication options (more than two), and offline access to your data on the mobile versions of LastPass.

It isn’t clear how these features can be enabled, since the app doesn’t seem to include any options to upgrade the offerings, while the description on the Mac App Store doesn’t say anything about in-app purchases or things like that.

Download LastPass for OS X using the supplied link and secure your online presence starting today.
