Why you need LastPass security principles

How is LastPass secure? We help customers achieve better protections using LastPass security in two ways:

Building security into the very foundation of the product, with additional layers of protection to safeguard customer data at all steps, and
Offering features, settings, and operations that allow users and admins to customize LastPass to meet their specific security needs and follow best practices.

By building security and safeguards into the product, we strive to ensure that all LastPass users are protected from threats, both in the cloud and locally on their device.

We are constantly improving the LastPass software and updating our service with the latest technology as new attack vectors and security threats emerge. We work closely with members of the LastPass community and security researchers who help improve the service for the benefit of all users. LastPass fundamentally believes in taking proactive measures to review security reports, address issues, and regularly evaluate new technologies that will strengthen our security model.
