We declared this incident closed but later learned that information stolen in the first incident was used to identify targets and initiate the second incident.” Incident 2Īgain from LastPass’ recent update: “The threat actor targeted a senior DevOps engineer by exploiting vulnerable third-party software. No customer data or vault data was taken during this incident, as there is no customer or vault data in the development environment. Incident 1įrom LastPass’ recent update: “A software engineer’s corporate laptop was compromised, allowing the unauthorized threat actor to gain access to a cloud-based development environment and steal source code, technical information, and certain LastPass internal system secrets. Here’s what happened, and what you can learn from the breach. It proves that regardless of how sophisticated or careful a company is, with enough time and motivation, talented hackers can breach some parts of said system. However, you will have to re-enter your master password every 14 days or less (depending on if you delay it for the full 14 days each time or not).The LastPass breach was a pretty stunning turn of events for a company on the cutting edge of cybersecurity best practices. Dashlane does offer limited biometrics depending on the browser you are using.
Hopefully, some of the other options, like Dashlane or Keeper, follow suit with their own password-less logins to eliminate master passwords altogether. This means that, eventually, you’ll be able to use your fingerprint as well as specific security keys like the YubiKey products. LastPass plans to also allow for other authentication options that also make use of FIDO2 compliance. Thankfully, the company isn’t done with developing this out. Of course, this isn’t the perfect solution as it still requires you to enter something. The app will allow users to unlock their vault using a random code through the app, skipping the need of having to enter a password. The company is allowing usersto unlock their vault using the LastPass Authenticator app (in case you don’t already have enough Authenticator apps installed). However, in order to access the vault of information they store, they typically require some kind of a master password. The next biggest reason is so that they no longer have to type them out every time. One of the biggest reasons someone decides to use a password manager is to avoid having to remember every single password they make for a website, app, or service.
