LastPass

LastPass password manager users have been experiencing significant login issues starting early May after being prompted to reset their authenticator apps.

The company first announced that users might need to log back into their LastPass account and reset their multifactor authentication preference due to planned security upgrades on May 9.

However, since then, numerous users have been locked out of their accounts and unable to access their LastPass vault, even after successfully resetting their MFA applications (e.g., LastPass Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator).

I haven’t been lockout of LastPass yet. I did the upgrade a few months ago to 600,000 rounds as recommended.

“This has prodded LastPass to release several advisories about the security upgrades explaining that this is being done to increase password iterations to the new default of 600,000 rounds.”

I think I’ll be going back to my first password manager, RoboForm. I never had problems with RoboForm.

LastPass wants users to upgrade to Premium, what a joke! I’ve got the free one.

This is what I have on my Free Drop Down of Last Pass:

 

I don’t believe they will be in business very long. Ever since the last breach I’ve been bombarded with nag screens on the drop down to go premium. Bad enough the paying customers had to put up with a breach, now they are locked out of their account. Sad, Sad! ☹️
