It looks like LastPass will only fill in username and passwords in the embedded browser. How functional is the embedded browser? Does the browser support links that attempt to open the destination page in a new window?

Ideally, the embedded browser would figure out how to share cookies with the Safari browser. Then, when you log in with LastPass, then you can just go to the regular browser to continue browsing

I'm sure Joe will chime in here, but the guys are still hard at work on the app. I asked him briefly about bookmarks, etc. but I'll wait for him to offer some official words. ;)

Apple implements 'sandboxing' preventing the LastPass embedded browser from accessing the bookmarks and cookies of the built in mobile safari browser. We're still considering how to handle this best, e.g. we could ultimately become a better web browser and potentially offer to take over http:// and https://protocols. For now the 2 browsers, cookies, etc are separate.
