App of the Issue: LastPass (Password Manager)

LastPass is a password manager that securely stores your passwords and personal information in a secure vault. As you visit apps and sites, LastPass autofills your login credentials. All you have to do is remember your LastPass master password, and LastPass will autofill logins for you. Stop getting locked out of your online accounts or struggling with frustrating password resets. Let LastPass remember your passwords for you, and keep you safe online. You can use LastPass across all your devices, including phones, tablets, and personal computers, for free.

Features of the free app include:

  • Store usernames and passwords for all of your online accounts securely in your LastPass encrypted vault.
  • With the release of iOS 12, LastPass can now autofill in-app. Simply launch your apps and LastPass will fill in your username and password.
  • Autofill usernames and passwords seamlessly in Safari and other mobile browsers.
  • With free syncing, anything you save on one device is instantly available on all other devices.
  • Securely store information like credit card numbers and health insurance cards in the encrypted vault.
  • Log in with your fingerprint for simple, secure access to everything in LastPass (iPhone users).
  • Safely and conveniently share passwords with others, such as the cable login or WiFi password.
  • Create secure passwords in one click with the built-in password generator.
  • Multi-factor authentication secures your password vault to add a second layer of protection on your account.

LastPass never has the key to your encrypted data, so your information is available to you, and only you. Your vault is encrypted with bank-level, AES 256-bit encryption. There is also a Premium version available, but there is an annual cost for that. Some of the extra features for LastPass Premium include:

  • Unlimited sharing of passwords, items and notes
  • 1GB encrypted file storage
  • Premium multi-factor authentication like YubiKey
  • Priority tech support
  • Desktop fingerprint authentication
