The problem with Wi-Fi networks these days is that while you can control the password used on your own networks you can’t do the same for other Wi-Fi networks that are not under your control. This can make keeping track of passwords difficult particularly if you choose not to have your operating system remember them, if you cycle through devices or they have complex passwords that are too hard to remember.<\/p>\n

Sure, you could write them down but that is hardly a secure or efficient means of storage.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, you can use LastPass to serve this purpose using a secure note template built specifically for Wi-Fi network information. You can access it by doing the following:<\/p>\n

  4. On the next screen, select\u00a0Wi-Fi Password<\/strong> as the Note Type.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
