Why is an account needed for the demo??? That turned me off enough to give up. I am tired of having to create an account for everything and anything - and it makes managing passwords harder, or promotes using weaker passwords. I don't want to live in a world where each step I take on the internet requires a separate account/password!

I guess this doesn't bother me anymore. I've used Lastpass for the last 5 or 6 years. Not having strong, separate passwords for any site requiring an account, is so 2007...
My experience as well. Plus, my passwords became stronger. If I know I won't remember it anyway, why stop at 10-15 character passwords? I just crank it up to 40 characters of gibberish, and let LastPass do the remembering. I love it.
Just so you know the demo is wiped every 24 hours or so, and you don't have to confirm your email address. Just go try it out with Zibulon@Zibulon.com and give a "password" password and you're in!
It's a demo. Just make a fake account using a fake email address or use a temporary email service. Works fine.
It's a demo site dropped and rebuilt every night. Register with a mailinator email not to reveal your own.
