If you want LastPass to logout instead of remain logged in, enable these settings:ġ. I strongly encourage every one to regularly check all the security parameters of you have the plugin installed, by default LastPass keeps you logged in to the browser plugin for two weeks. Then, navigating through the security parameters I discovered a new feature which offers to carry passwords across your multiple devices and outrageously, this feature was activated! ![]() I decided to take a closer look at Chrome's parameters: This was absolutely not normal and quite worrying too. Not only I knew I haden't logged in yet and Lastpass was already available, but when I went to Youtube, there too I was logged in!!!! I thought, ok: it's become such an automatism for me to logon when I open Chrome that maybe, I just don't remember doing it.īut then it happened again on Friday evening. > I always shut down my computer before I leave and Chrome is configured to NOT store any password The first time I though it was just a miss-representation from Chrome's cache but when I clicked on the logo, there I was, logged in my Lastpass vault When coming home at the end of the day and opening starting-up my iMac, after I launched Chrome I noticed the red logo of Lastpass. Twice in the last couple of weeks I noticed a very strange behavior: Here you can open Last Pass' Security Check as well which opens the page on the Last Pass website to run a check on all accounts in the database.I use Chrome on my iMac at home and on a MacBook at work and login to LastPass every time Here you can disable the alert for the current website, or all weak or duplicate site alerts instead. If you do not want the alerts to be displayed in your browser, you can disable them with a click on the disable alert pulldown menu. Last Pass will detect the new password and offer to change the current one to it. ![]() You can now change the password on the site, since you are logged in on the site. It displays the type of issue, weak password or duplicate password, explains what it recommends you to do, and displays the domain and user name of the site. When you click on it, you open an explanation of what Last Pass detected. The password seems to be tested during log in only. It is activated by default and indicates a weak or duplicate password by changing the extensions' icon color to yellow in the browser's address bar. The feature is currently only available in the Chrome version of Last Pass, but will be added to the company's other browser extensions in the near future. The company behind the online password manager Last Pass announced two additions to its password manager that help users identify weak or duplicate passwords. Selecting password, princess or qwerty as your password guarantees that attackers can decrypt it in record time to access your account. Weak passwords on the other hand are either guessable right away or easily decrypted via dictionary or brute force attacks. The attacker may decrypt the password and try it on other popular sites in hope that it may work in combination with the selected email address or username as well. Imagine one of the sites getting hacked that you used the password on. Duplicate passwords can lead to a serious problem. ![]()
