If you have been using the password management service called LastPass, then you would be pleased to know that you may now use this service in a better way on the iOS8 platform. The company has made updates to this tool and released a new version called LastPass for Premium 3.1.0. Check out what the updated service brings to you.
Appearance
If you already have a Premium subscription and account on LastPass, then you may now make use of the updated service on your Apple devices. The updated LastPass tool now features an extension for Safari. This new extension enables LastPass users to properly fill-in web logins in the Safari browser itself. For iOS8, it has also added the feature of Touch ID integration that will help you unlock this tool in a simpler way. Now, you can just use your finger to unlock LastPass, instead of using a master password or passcode.
Performance
LastPass for Premium 3.1.0 works nicely on an iPhone, as well as on an iPad and iPod Touch. Users need to have iOS 5.1.1 and later running on their devices. However, the updated features are only accessible on iOS8. The new feature of LastPass Safari Extension is supported by the changes in iOS8 itself. Thus, it has become easier for the tool to adapt to this new platform and perform better.
Ease of use
With the updated LastPass version, it has become easier to access existing logins in Safari, as well as store new logins. However, you will have to make a few quick changes in your settings for activating the new features of Touch ID integration and Safari extension. It can simply be done by altering relevant options in your LastPass Settings.
Usefulness
The LastPass service has become more efficient due to the introduction of a new extension that supports the web login work in the safari browser. Previously, users had to leave the Safari browser when they needed to fill-in any details in LastPass. This happened because LastPass only allowed using its built-in browser. Thus, there is no manual copying-pasting from now on. The task of unlocking LastPass has also become smoother due to the new changes done for iOS8. Thus, LastPass for Premium 3.1.0 appears to be more useful than its previous version.
Value for money
Changes in version 3.1.0 of LastPass do not require you to pay anything extra if you already have the LastPass Premium subscription.
