LastPass

  • You can easily add LastPass to your Safari toolbar to manage myriad login information with one master password. 
  • Note that you'll have to download LastPass through the company's website, as the LastPass version available in the Mac's App Store won't allow you to add LastPass to the Safari toolbar.

Using lots of passwords is a necessary evil when it comes to your online security hygiene.

Fortunately, free programs such as LastPass provide crucial assistance: The password manager creates encrypted passwords for any login credentials you choose to add. You'll only have to recall your LastPass master password. 

Best of all, Safari users can add LastPass to their Mac toolbar when browsing, with the LastPass toolbar extension for Safari. Here's how to add LastPass to the Safari toolbar.

By
Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing.

Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...
