Most people would only think that it is the company’s responsibility in keeping their encrypted password safe on their servers and very quickly to put the blame on LastPass when their account got compromised.
An important thing in using a password manager that a lot of people aren’t aware of is their role in keeping their password management account safe. It is also easier to setup and use if compared to KeePass. LastPass has additional advantages over KeePass which include online cloud storage that allows you to access your password from anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection. While KeePass is an excellent open source offline password manager that is very flexible and extensible, it does require the user to be experienced in computers to be able to set it up and also to use it correctly. However when it comes to LastPass, it is currently the most popular password manager and undeniably the best in the industry. Other password and credential lists are available on the dark web.Sometimes a piece of software being the most popular in its category doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the best. You can download a 17GB password list comprising the 613 million most common passwords from haveibeenpwned, for instance. The LastPass password vaults have been in the hands of criminals for some time now, and even though they're encrypted, they will eventually be subject to brute force attacks.Īttackers will find their work easier thanks to the existence of massive databases of commonly used passwords.
No password hint is going to help if your password is "lVoT=.N]4CmU". However, LastPass is unique among password management services in that it allows users to set a password hint to remind them of their master password should they lose it.Įffectively, this encourages users to use dictionary words and phrases as part of their password, rather than a truly random strong password.
LastPass requires the master password to be a minimum of 12 characters, and recommends "that you never reuse your master password on other websites."
