LastPass also offers mobile applications for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 for when you’re browsing on your mobile devices or on the road without your workstations. From there, it knows that you are logging into a website with a username and password and prompts you to save that account in your Lastpass vault. Lastpass works by installing a browser plugin on any major web browser that you use.
All you need to remember is one, “master” password to access your password manager. Password managers like LastPass store your existing passwords in a central location and helps you generate new, stronger passwords that you never have to know or remember. It’s easier than you think for people to find these files, even accidentally.
You write all the passwords down and store them in a notebook that you keep near you or in a unlocked document stored on your computer. Even if that password is stored securely by the website, which is not always the case, a weak password can sometimes be cracked in a matter of minutes or even seconds.
In this day and age, It is very easy for a malicious actor to break those insecure passwords using a wide range of widely available and free hacker tools. You use many insecure passwords or a variation of one password that are easy to remember If an attacker gets access to your password through an insecure, innocuous website, they can then use it to pivot to more sensitive ones, like your bank, tax, or online health care accounts. Password compromises are becoming quite common these days and one weak link in the chain makes all the other links vulnerable. Unfortunately all it takes is one of your online accounts to get compromised to open up all of your other accounts to compromise. Let’s say that this password is very complex, a mix of letters, numbers, caps and symbols. You use one password for all of your accounts
