Why do I need a complex password?

To you, your passwords are the keys to your accounts. To hackers and other bad actors, your passwords are a gateway to your digital life, including your sensitive personal information, money, and undisclosed business data. Even the hack of “unimportant” information could cause your other accounts or private life to be compromised.

What makes a password strong?

A strong, secure password is one that isn’t easy to guess. Every password you create should be both unique and random, and they should never be reused. Best practice is to create a password which is over 12 characters long and includes a combination of symbols, numbers, and upper- and lowercase letters. It can be difficult to create a truly unique, random password on your own – and it’s even harder to memorize them. A password generator makes the process easy, though. Set the parameters and let the LastPass generate, save, and memorize secure passwords for all your accounts.

Why a password generator is the best way to create secure passwords

It’s completely random. There’s no human factor with the LastPass password generator. Users or admins can set password generation requirements – password character length, characters used, whether it’s easy to read – and let LastPass handle the rest. Best of all, you can seamlessly generate passwords right from within the LastPass app or browser extension. Generating a completely random 16 character password with numbers, symbols, and uppercase and lowercase letters has never been simpler.

Is the LastPass password generator safe?

Yes. The LastPass password generator creates random, secure passwords based on the parameters set by and admin or you, the user. Every password generated is tested against the industry-standard zxcvbn library – a password strength estimator influenced by password hackers – to determine the strength of the generated password. Once you have saved the generated password to your password vault, it is automatically stored and encrypted so only you have access to it.

What is a Master Password?

LastPass users have a Master Password which allows them to decrypt their encrypted password vault. When you enter your Master Password, it is applied to a cryptographic function that creates a key that encrypts (or decrypts) your vault, providing access to your saved credentials. It’s a part of the zero-knowledge encryption model LastPass is built on, meaning the only person who uses and knows your Master Password is you – LastPass never stores it. Moreover, LastPass never has access to your unencrypted vault or the passwords stored inside it.

How do I create a complex password that’s easy to remember?

A complex password is a password that’s a minimum of 12 characters in length and is comprised of a variety of numbers, symbols, and upper- and lowercase letters. It should also avoid using identifying information – personal information a hacker could find from a Google search or scouring your social media accounts and whole words. Creating a memorable, strong password can be difficult. And if it’s a password you need to remember, like your LastPass Master Passwords, you want to make sure it’s both uncrackable and easy to memorize. A good rule of thumb is to use a mnemonic device or an acronym, one that includes symbols and numbers. For instance, say The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” is your favorite song. Make a password out of the first letter of the lyrics, alternating lowercase and uppercase letters. So “Hey Jude, don’t make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better” becomes: hJdMiBtASs&MiB Now just add in some other symbols and numbers, ones that you’ll be able to remember – such as the year the song was released (1968). So your password becomes: $1hJd9MiB6tAS8s&MiB! This is a memorable password that’s incredibly strong – it’s over 16 characters long, has a mix of letter casing, and uses various numbers and symbols. For any passwords beside your Master Password, rely on the LastPass password generator to create a unique, strong password for you. Then save it to your vault and LastPass will autofill it the next time you need it.

What password cannot be hacked?

Unbreakable passwords are at least 16 characters long, mix upper- and lowercase letters, have numbers, and use several symbols. A good example of a strong, random password is: P03$cEw^b7gH@uY!2 Most of all, you should never reuse your password. Because even if a password is strong, it can be cracked if it’s reused for multiple accounts. If one of your accounts gets hacked – say, your Facebook password gets leaked due to a breach of Facebook itself – any other accounts that use that password are at risk of getting hacked. You should always generate a unique, strong password for every account you already have or create. The LastPass password generator makes that an easy task.

Can I use the password generator to create a username?

Technically you can; however, it’s recommended you use the LastPass username generator tool. Our username generator tool will not include any numbers or symbols, which some websites do not allow in their usernames. In combination, you can use the username generator tool to create a random username and truly secure the account you’re creating by using the password generator tool to generate a strong password.

Comparing LastPass to Built-in Free Password Generators

How do browser password managers compare to LastPass?

Password managers like iCloud Keychain and Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other browsers lack the essential security features that are built-in to LastPass. When it comes to sensitive information like your passwords, those security features are crucial.

Access your passwords across all your devices

Premium LastPass plans work on all browsers, across all your devices and any OS – from Mac to Windows, Android to iOS. You can freely access passwords across your work laptop, your smartphone, and your home tablet, securely accessing essential logins and secure notes whenever you need them.

Browser password managers, on the other hand, only work with the browser you’re using – they don’t support other browsers. So for Google Chrome and iCloud Keychain, you’re stuck storing and accessing your passwords only in Chrome and Safari.

Military-grade, award-winning security

With LastPass, you get best-in-class security. LastPass utilizes a zero-knowledge security model which features AES 256-bit encryption of the vault and PBKDF2-SHA256 one-way salted hashing of the master password. Both ensure only you have the keys to unlock your vault and that your data is never visible to anyone but you – not even LastPss.

Best of all, even if a security incident occurs to LastPass, the company, your LastPass password vault will never be compromised thanks to the premier vault encryption.

Compartilhe senhas com familiares e amigos de forma segura e descomplicada

O LastPass oferece compartilhamento seguro com outros usuários, para que você possa compartilhar senhas com amigos e familiares sem complicação e sem abrir mão da segurança, eliminando a necessidade de compartilhá-las por mensagem de texto, DM no Instagram ou WhatsApp. O LastPass Premium permite o compartilhamento com um usuário LastPass por vez, enquanto o LastPass Families permite o compartilhamento com quantos usuários LastPass você quiser.

O gerenciador de senhas do Google e o iCloud Keychain não oferecem compartilhamento de senhas e só compartilham senhas com o aplicativo do navegador, forçando você a compartilhar suas senhas por métodos inseguros, colocando sua cibersegurança em sério risco.

Diferentes planos do LastPass oferecem opções mais sofisticadas de compartilhamento de senhas. Por exemplo, com o plano LastPass Families, é possível até gerenciar e compartilhar senhas por pastas. Assim, você pode compartilhar uma pasta chamada “Senhas de streaming” com sua família enquanto compartilha a pasta “Informações bancárias e de crédito” apenas com seu cônjuge.

Mais camadas avançadas de segurança

Se quiserem, os usuários LastPass podem intensificar a proteção de suas contas colocando mais barreiras intransponíveis entre seus dados e os malfeitores.

Todas as camadas do LastPass têm acesso à autenticação multifator (MFA), que adiciona pontos de verificação extras antes do acesso ao cofre para garantir que os dados fiquem realmente bloqueados, e os usuários podem utilizar o aplicativo LastPass Authenticator ou métodos adicionais de autenticação de terceiros.

Já os usuários do Google Chrome e iOS podem implementar a autenticação de dois fatores (2FA), mas só podem fazê-lo com o autenticador integrado, o que limita as opções de segurança.

Os assinantes de planos pagos do LastPass também têm acesso a opções avançadas de MFA, que incluem biometria (leitura de impressão digital) e chaves de hardware de terceiros, como YubiKey. Os usuários podem definir qualquer um desses métodos avançados de MFA para proteger ainda mais a conta contra acesso não autorizado.

Seus dados ficam separados e seguros

Não coloque todos os ovos na mesma cesta. Com o Google e o iCloud, você coloca todos os seus dados pessoais em um só lugar, ou seja, se alguém invadir seus dispositivos Chrome ou Mac/iOS, poderá facilmente acessar suas informações (como e-mail, calendário, armazenamento de arquivos, documentos confidenciais, fotos), sem falar nas senhas.

O LastPass mantém seus ambientes separados e só lida com as senhas e os dados confidenciais que você armazena — mantendo tudo criptografado com segurança, disponível e visível apenas para você.

E ao aderir à abordagem sem senha para sua senha mestre do LastPass, na qual você usa suas informações biométricas (impressão digital) como uma senha mestre, você remove os obstáculos entre você e os sites armazenados em seu cofre sem colocá-los em risco.
