Still, it certainly sounds like a bad breach, but the consensus among security experts is that it could\u2019ve been a lot worse.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, LastPass is currently defending against potential account theft by requiring email verification\u2014or multi-factor authentication if enabled\u2014whenever a new login comes from an unknown device or new IP address. An attacker would need access to your email account or authenticator app on top of cracking your LastPass master password to get in.<\/br>&#8212;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2936621\/the-lastpass-security-breach-what-you-need-to-know-do-and-watch-out-for.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2936621\/the-lastpass-security-breach-what-you-need-to-know-do-and-watch-out-for.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/lastpass.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/lastpass-300x247.jpg\" alt=\"lastpass\" width=\"300\" height=\"247\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-51070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/lastpass-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/lastpass.jpg 589w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"left\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lastpass.com\/2015\/06\/lastpass-security-notice.html\/\" target=\"_blank\">LastPass Response to FAQs Regarding the Security Breach<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Was my master password exposed?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, LastPass never has access to your master password. We use encryption and hashing algorithms of the highest standard to protect user data. We hash both the username and master password on the user\u2019s computer with 5,000 rounds of PBKDF2-SHA256, a password strengthening algorithm. That creates a key, on which we perform another round of hashing, to generate the master password authentication hash. That is sent to the LastPass server so that we can perform an authentication check as the user is logging in. We then take that value, and use a salt (a random string per user) and do another 100,000 rounds of hashing, and compare that to what is in our database. In layman\u2019s terms: Cracking our algorithms is extremely difficult, even for the strongest of computers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Am I at risk if I have a weak master password?<\/strong><br \/>\nAn attacker could try to guess your master password, then use your per-user-salt and authentication hash to determine if their guess was correct. Typically, an attacker would try a list of commonly-used passwords or dictionary words (such as 12345678, password1, mustang, robert42, iloveyou). They would have to do this for you specifically, since your \u201cper-user\u201d salt is unique to your account . Because your password is hashed thousands of times locally, and is again hashed 100,000 times before being stored server-side, guesses will be very slow. If your master password is weak or if your password reminder makes it easy-to-guess, then the attacker could significantly reduce the number of attempts needed to guess it correctly. Then the attacker would have your master password, but not your data, since your data vault was not exposed. If the attacker attempted to get access to your data by using these credentials to log into your LastPass account, they\u2019d be stopped by a notification asking them to first verify their email address.  We require this security measure for any attempt to access your vault from a new device\/location, unless you have multifactor authentication enabled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Were passwords or other data stored in my vault exposed? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, your data is safe. Encrypted user vaults were not compromised, so no data stored in your vault is at risk (including form fill profiles, secure notes, site usernames and passwords). However if you used your master password for any other website, we do advise changing it \u2013 on LastPass as well as on the other websites. Note that you should never reuse passwords \u2013 especially your LastPass master password!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should I do now?<\/strong><br \/>\nOur security and processes worked as designed, and customer data was, and is, protected. Because we are requiring verification for any new IP address or device, your account is secure. You will be prompted to update your master password when you login. Not all users will see the prompt immediately, but your account is safe and you can update when prompted. For added security going forward, we recommend enabling multifactor authentication. Also, be wary of phishing emails asking you to disclose your master password, payment information, or any other personal information. Never, ever disclose your master password or any confidential information, even to someone claiming to work for LastPass.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWhy did I hear about this in the media first?<\/strong><br \/>\nEmails have been sent to all users regarding the security incident. Notifying millions of users via email takes time. Therefore, we also announced the security alert to our blog and our social accounts in real-time, and the media quickly picked up the story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I reset my master password, but now I can\u2019t get in!<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you forgot or mis-typed your new master password, please revert your change: https:\/\/lastpass.com\/revert.php and login again with the previous master password. Then you can try another change (and be careful of typos!).<br \/>\nI don\u2019t remember my old master password.<\/p>\n<p>Please try password recovery: https:\/\/lastpass.com\/recover.php on a browser where you\u2019ve used LastPass before.
