Lastpass security challenge : you should do it for your own security !

I’ve already posted about lastpass, the service I use to secure all my passwords in one single place.

A new tool is now available : the “security challenge“.
This tool will screen all your your login/passwords recorded in your lastpass vault and give you statistics

• number of duplicate passwords
•  weakness of the passwords
• average password length.

I did it.
The first result was obviously terrible : many duplicate passwords.. I basically use 4… and quite weak passwords.

Then you can imagine that changing all these passwords (I’ve 260 websites secured in lastpass) will be a big pain. This is where lastpass can help again.
Based on the list of all the web sites, it propose you to directly open a new window on this site, then you go to the “change password” option and change it. Of course you still need some time to do it, but it helps a lot !

I love when services like that really gives added value that you did not expect…

Thank you lastpass !

My best Chrome extensions : Lastpass (the ideal password manager)

LastPass is a password manager that promise you “The Last paswword you have to remember”.
The principle is to record all your passwords in a simple place and remember only one which is your lastpass password, like the key of your safe.

I use the service since few years now to secure all my passwords for all the services I use (I’ve more than 200 sites secured).
Lastpass proposes a chrome extension I use everyday when I’m connected : at home, at work.

The main reason I use it is because of the chrome extension : it makes the access to the service simple and easy.

This simple extension is the access point to the lastpass service and gives access to your “lastpass vault” where all your passwords are secured.

The extension is also screening the pages you’re browsing and if necessary proposes you to automatically fill login / password. It’s really very well done.

I hope you’ll enjoy it !
