Why should I use LastPass?
LastPass makes it easy to keep all your accounts secure -- you only need to remember One Master Password. Using LastPass makes it simpler to access all your different accounts, by remembering your login information for you. LastPass also lets you utilize browser plugins and has a mobile app for added convenience. • Passwords and login credentials stored in Password Managers cannot be accessed by vendors, software providers, Lehigh University. • If you lose your Master Password, you will lose access to all of your stored credentials! Prevent this by setting up account recovery options (link is external) • Make your Master Password easy to remember and follow our suggested guidelines • Support for LastPass is provided by LastPass, not by Lehigh University.

Can Lehigh access or retrieve the information I store in LastPass?
With the exception of shared folders (i.e. passwords you have specifically chosen to share or have shared with you), no one else at Lehigh can see your credentials (usernames and passwords). Passwords stored in LastPass are encrypted—even LastPass.com staff cannot see them.
What if I already use LastPass personally?
Within the LastPass browser extension, you have the option to link your personal account to your Business account. This does not merge the accounts, but instead makes your personal vault visible within your Business vault. If you login with your personal account Master Password, you will only see your personal account information. If you login into your Business account you will see your Business account information, as well as another section containing your personal account vault. For more information on linking accounts, visit the LastPass website.
What happens to my LastPass account if I leave Lehigh?
When you leave the University, you will no longer have access to the passwords stored in your Business account, and your personal account will be unlinked from your Business account. You will continue to have access to the contents of your personal/Premium vaults.
What happens when the LastPass website is down? Can I still log in?
If you are logging in via the LastPass browser extension, it will automatically switch to offline mode, and you'll still be able to view your stored data.
What if I’m already using a different password manager?
If you are using a different password manager for your personal passwords, you can continue to use it. For work-related passwords, please use LastPass. One option is to use one browser for personal use and one for business use, and to only put the LastPass extension on the business computer.

What else can LastPass do?

Phishing protection
When you're logged into LastPass and you visit a website, LastPass will autofill passwords. But what if the link and page look real, but it's actually fake? LastPass won't be fooled, and it's an excellent way for you to spot fake websites.
