It will ask you to either confirm that you’ve changed the password or to save a new site as a new entry in your password database. When you’re done filling in your new account information LastPass will again detect that there is activity with the new account. When you hit accept LastPass will automatically fill it in for the site (and remember it on your behalf). You can accept the password or generate a new one with new variables until you’re satisfied. There you can set your password length, accepted characters, and other parameters. When you click the generate button LastPass will open a new tab with the password generator. In the screenshot above we started the signup process for a Yahoo! Mail account. When you create a new account for a web service, LastPass will prompt you to generate a secure account.

Using LastPass to Generate and Store Secure Passwords In the next section we’ll take a look at that process. As you get more comfortable using LastPass and need fewer reminders, go ahead and return to this menu and toggle some of them off.įrom this point forward LastPass will automatically detect when you’re visiting a website that you’ve already created a login for and will prompt you to generate a secure password for new web sites you’re joining.

We’d recommend leaving the default notifications in place as they serve as excellent reminders to use LastPass and to generate secure passwords. We happen to like the notifications but many people aren’t so fond of them. The first thing we want to do is hit up the Preferences menu. Once you login the LastPass logo should switch from dark gray to red and white.Ĭlicking on the logo yields a drop-down menu filled with LastPass goodies. We let LastPass remember our login but leave the password blank. Login using your email and LastPass password. In the toolbar of the browser will be a dark LastPass icon (which looks like an asterisk).

We double recommend against those things if you’re using LastPass on a portable computer or mobile device.Īfter you finish the LastPass installation, launch one of the web browsers you specified in the first step of the setup. We recommend setting it to log you out and not using your vault as your homepage. We’re almost done! The last setup step is to specify whether or not LastPass should log you out when the browser closes and whether or not your LastPass Vault should be your homepage. In the next step it will list all your saved sites, their username/passwords, and a toggle for you to select and deselect them for import into LastPass.

Even if you’ve used “password” for all your passwords, it will at least build a list of sites you’ve been using insecure passwords on so that you can later go back and update them. There’s really no good reason not to do this. If you have to, write it down and tape it to the bottom of your desk drawer or otherwise hide it away.Īt this point you’ll be prompted to import all the passwords from your web browsers into LastPass. Again, use a strong and memorable passphrase. They can’t stress it enough and we can’t stress it enough on their behalf: if you lose your LastPass password you’re totally out of luck. Now is a great time to start using a passphrase instead of a simple password-i.e. You’ll only be using this password to access your web password vault and to login once every browser session to the local database. Type in your primary email address and select a strong password. Select that you do no have an account and wish to create one. The advanced options gives you more control over the specific aspects of those browser installs skipping the advanced section is fine for most users.
