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
3b. Check your Email for the LastPass invitation.
These steps are for the users that have an existing LastPass account using their Lehigh email address. If you do not, you will receive the email described in step 3a. Disregard this step and skip to 4.
- In the “LastPass Account Created” email invitation, click on Activate LastPass.
- You'll be taken to the LastPass login screen.
If you don't receive an invitation to claim your LastPass account, or your invitation has expired, you may request an account by emailing the Help Desk.
4. Log into the LastPass Client with your Lehigh credentials.
- If necessary, click on the 'puzzle-piece' icon to display the extensions menu (in Chrome), and click on the 'pushpin' icon next to the LastPass entry to enable the display of the LastPass extension icon. Once displayed, you can click the LastPass extension icon to go to the LastPass login screen.

5. Set up another device with LastPass
Remember that you can log into LastPass from multiple devices, (for example, try installing on a Mobile Device) but when you do, you may get an email verification challenge. If logging in doesn't appear to work on a new device, simply check your email, and click the approval button to "Verify New Device or Location", and go back to the device and re-try the login.
