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.
Install and Activate LastPass Business (Faculty & Staff)
1. Enroll in Lehigh LastPass on Lehigh's Enrollment Portal
Faculty and staff must enroll in LastPass through the LastPass Self-Enrollment Portal. (https://accounts.lehigh.edu/tools/lastpass/self-enroll).
On the web page, click on the 'Enroll' button.
This will initiate the provisioning process, which will result in an email invitation to join LastPass, but can take up to two hours.
In the meantime. . .
2. Install the LastPass client program for your browser.
Logging in through one of the client programs is required to activate your LastPass account, and having it installed ahead of time makes that easy.
- Open your web browser of choice.
- Go to the LastPass download page (https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php).
- Click on the 'Quick Install' button.
- Add the extension to your browser.
3. Check your Email for the LastPass invitation.
- 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 Business 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.
a. 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.
b. On the LastPass login screen, enter your Lehigh email address, and click "Log In" (note how the password field disappears when '@lehigh.edu' is entered).
c. In the Lehigh-Logo password box, enter your Lehigh password. A Duo Multifactor prompt will come up next.
5. Set up another device with LastPass
Remember that you can log into LastPass from multiple devices, but when you do, you may get an email verification challenge. Simply check your email, and click the approval button to validate the new device.
