The Problem â Easy to Guess Passwords
Technology has evolved incredibly over the years, with that so has the threat to your data. It is no longer safe to use easy to guess passwords. A computer is able to âcrackâ that easier than you would imagine. If you use the same password for multiple sites, once one is compromised, all are. The only safe passwords to use look something like this, âiH28$u2hFC%YOâ, which are almost impossible to remember.

LastPass can generate long and secure passwords at the click of a button, and easily store your login credentials for ALL of your sites and accounts. All of this is kept secure and encrypted behind your single âMaster Password.â
