LastPass is Lehigh's selected vendor for password management, and managed accounts can be provisioned online from the LastPass website. Follow the instructions below to activate and begin using your account.
NOTE: If you already have an existing LastPass account, using a Lehigh email address, it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that you change the email address associated with that account BEFORE enrolling in a new, managed, Lehigh LastPass Business account. LastPass has a support page with step-by-step instructions for updating the email address associated with that account.

If you already have the LastPass extension installed, skip to step 3 |
After your account has been created, you will get a congratulations message prompting you to install the browser's extension. Once you do, click on Install LastPass. Depending on your browser, this process may vary slightly.
Once installed, log in to the LastPass extension. Here’s what the LastPass browser extension looks like:
To function properly, LastPass must have permission to access and collect web addresses (URLs). Without permission, LastPass can't save and fill your credentials to your sites. When prompted to accept permissions, click "Accept."
Click on the browser extension. Enter your Lehigh Email address, your Lehigh password, and click Log In. Note: You will be prompted for Duo multifactor authentication upon login. If you are asked for your LastPass Master Password, this is your Lehigh password.
At this point, you're ready to start using LastPass Premium for securely storing account names, passwords, and other common form fields. Visit LastPass to discover all the ways this service can simplify and secure your online browsing.
