Password Management with LastPass #3

 Password Management with LastPass :


Why Use a Password Manager?

  • Security professionals recommend using a password manager for all your accounts. 

  • You only need to remember one password. LastPass uses one strong “master” password to protect the passwords of all your other accounts.  

  • LastPass uses strong encryption to ensure that access to your passwords is secure. No one, not even UC Berkeley or LastPass, can access your passwords.

  • Security challenge. The LastPass "Security Dashboard" will give you a personal security score.  This score looks for reused passwords or if any of your accounts have been involved in a breach.  You’ll learn how to improve your password security immediately.

  • Phishing protection. LastPass only fills your credentials into actual websites. For example, if you encounter a fake site that's identical in its look and feel, but uses a slightly different url from a real site LastPass recognizes the difference and will warn you and not auto-fill in your username and password.
