Another BMT Recommendation Proven Safe!
As you probably have heard by now, Last Pass, the world’s largest password manager was breached last week. The breach appears to have been of the development servers, facilitated by a compromise of a LastPass developer account. The breach has been contained and there is no evidence of any customer data or encrypted password vaults being accessed.
What You Should Do
The first question you are probably asking yourself – are the passwords in my vault still secure? The answer is yes. LastPass has made it clear that, courtesy of the ‘zero knowledge’ architecture implemented, master passwords are never stored. “LastPass can never know or gain access to our customers’ master password,” said Karim Toubba, the LastPass CEO, “this incident did not compromise your master password.”
Highly recommended by BMT, a Password Manager is by far the easiest and most secure way to manager your passwords.
- Passwords are remembered for you – no more jotting down on post-its!
- Passwords are guaranteed to be unique and complex, extremely difficult to hack
- Passwords are encrypted
