I sometimes read about the benefits of storing LessPass-related information locally.
When talking about "saving locally" the local storage/browser cache is addressed.
Personally I am used to regularly clean the browser cache. So I would delete all the information that has been locally stored. So what's the point?
Do those who store locally never clean their browser cache?
What sort of data do I need to uncheck/exclude when cleaning Chrome's cache to prevent LessPass-related data from being deleted?
Thank you for your help.
@panther2 only local storage is used.
You can see the information saved in local storage on https://lesspass.com with inspector in console console.log(localStorage.getItem('lesspass'))
local storage is only here to improve user experience, and we try hard not to save to much information
What sort of data do I need to uncheck/exclude when cleaning Chrome's cache to prevent LessPass-related data from being deleted?
probably: Cookies and other site data
See http://stackoverflow.com/a/37105645/866886
In Chrome, localStorage is cleared when these conditions are met: (a) clear browsing data, (b) "cookies and other site data" is selected, (c) timeframe is "from beginning of time".
Thank you, I am not sure I like this feature, though, as saving any information locally appears to be counter-productive to the purpose of LessPass, IMHO. But using this or not is up to the user, of course.
See an interesting explanation, I've added it to your wiki (see How does the local storage work?)
Additionally I have realized when testing, that I have to change my cookie-management to make this feature work. On "delete cookies when closing browser" the local storage is deleted, too....
Thanks
I close this one after the @Kcchouette add in FAQ
