So if you’ve used a strong non-dictionary master password together with a multifactor authentication, there is a very very low chance that your LastPass login account information can be illegally accessed by the hacker.
The 2 major security breaches in LastPass show that only small parts of the database that can be used to crack the user’s master password have been copied out by the intruder but did not touch the encrypted user vault data. Most people would only think that it is the company’s responsibility in keeping their encrypted password safe on their servers and very quickly to put the blame on LastPass when their account got compromised. An important thing in using a password manager that a lot of people aren’t aware of is their role in keeping their password management account safe. It is also easier to setup and use if compared to KeePass. LastPass has additional advantages over KeePass which include online cloud storage that allows you to access your password from anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection.
While KeePass is an excellent open source offline password manager that is very flexible and extensible, it does require the user to be experienced in computers to be able to set it up and also to use it correctly. However when it comes to LastPass, it is currently the most popular password manager and undeniably the best in the industry. Sometimes a piece of software being the most popular in its category doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the best.
