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."
3. Log In!
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
Adding a Personal Premier Account to Your Lehigh Business Account
In addition to the Lehigh administered Business account, Faculty and Staff are also eligible to add a free Personal Premier Account to their Business account. This is highly recommended as there are many benefits to doing so:
- Functions the same as your Business account, and can be accessed while logged into your LastPass business account via the browser extension
- Lehigh cannot access any information stored in your free Personal Premier account, unlike your Business account
- If you separate from Lehigh, you will not lose passwords or data stored on your Personal Premier account, unlike your Business account
