The only other added security is an emergency access feature that allows you to securely share your information with a trusted third party in an emergency. LastPass Premium adds a few more options to the list for MFA support, which is highly appreciated, including biometric login and USB security key support. Your master password and the keys used to encrypt and decrypt data are never sent to LastPass’s servers and are never accessible by LastPass. You’ll create a password manager account with an email address and a strong master password to locally generate a unique encryption key. However, in my experience, the pairing of the LastPass browser extension with the web app is almost all you’ll ever need.Īs to how LastPass safeguards your data, it uses AES-256 bit encryption with PBKDF2 SHA-256 and salted hashes to ensure complete security in the cloud. While the macOS version is fairly robust, the Windows desktop app is no longer being developed and has some significant limitations. The LastPass desktop app has six primary and five secondary sections, making it a bit more like the web experience. I love this concept and hope to see it crop up more often for services like this. You get a 10% discount for completing “achievements,” mostly geared toward teaching how to use the features of this service. What I found most interesting about the UX was the reward mechanism implemented for exploring the user interface (UI). “Notes” is like a catch-all for keeping information secure that doesn’t fit into these pre-established categoriesĪdding and editing information was easy across the board.“Bank Accounts” adds direct banking information such as account and routing numbers.“Payment Cards” saves your credit and debit card information.“Addresses” populates data sets for automatic form filling.
“Passwords” manages your saved accounts.The LastPass extension has five main sections in the left toolbar to help manage your saved information: Passwords, Notes, Addresses, Payment Cards, and Bank Accounts.
