BEFORE YOU START

If you already have an existing LastPass account using your Lehigh email address, it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that you change the email address associated with that account before enrolling in your Lehigh curated LastPass Business account. It is likely that your existing account passwords will save and transfer over; however at that point any information in your account becomes administered by Lehigh, and if you separate from Lehigh you may lose access to those saved passwords, addresses, and credit card info. This LastPass support page has step-by-step instructions on how to change the email associated with your existing non-Lehigh LastPass account.


Get LastPass Business (Faculty & Staff)


Step 1 - Activate Your Account

Faculty and staff can enroll in LastPass through the LastPass Self-Enrollment Portal.

After you enroll, within two hours, you will receive an email invitation to establish a Business LastPass account to store passwords used for university business. 


In the “LastPass Account Created” email invitation, click on Activate LastPass. If you have not already received an invitation to claim your LastPass Business account or your invitation has expired, you may request an account by emailing the Help Desk.

If your account is federated (most accounts are), you will get Account Activation (image 🅱) enter the Activation code (temporary password can be found in the invitation email) and Click Continue.

If you already have the LastPass browser extension installed you will get Lehigh SSO (image 🅲 ) enter your Lehigh's password and you are ready to use LastPass.





Step 2 - Add the LastPass Browser Extension 


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."





Step 3 - Log In!

Click on the browser extension.  Enter your Lehigh Email address, your Lehigh password, and click Log InNote: 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

After logging into your Lehigh LastPass Business account for the one of the first times, you will typically be prompted to add this free account. Simply follow the given prompts to do so. If you have not been prompted or wish to add an account after initially declining to do so, LastPass has a support page that will walk you through the process.
