With so much of life spent online, what would happen to your social media accounts and email addresses in the event of your passing? 

Just as you’d make arrangements for your physical assets after you’re gone, your digital information needs the same careful planning, too. A digital will makes it easier for your loved ones to take control of your digital life after you’ve passed. While you can’t spare them the heartache, you can prevent the stress of inaccessible accounts. 

Ghost accounts, as they’re called, are those that live on even after you’ve died. Your information is unavailable to loved ones when they need it most while also being a prime target for hackers. Take, for example, an employee’s account being used to <a href="https://www.healthcareinfosecurity.com/dead-system-admins-credentials-used-for-ransomware-attack-a-15873" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launch a ransomware attack</a> on his company – three months after he died. 

Our CEO Karim Toubba recently sat down with CNBC’s Shepard Smith and Telemundo’s Miriam Arias to discuss how to secure your digital legacy the right way. Check out the videos below.

Anticipation is the key to your digital afterlife. Let's look at how to avoid becoming a “digital ghost” by planning ahead and preventing unnecessary stress at an already difficult time. 
<h3>Step 1: Take a digital asset inventory</h3>
The first step is to take an inventory of your digital assets. Email and social media accounts are probably the first to spring to mind, but don’t forget about financial accounts (like banking or investments) and online storage (think, iCloud or Dropbox). 

Most people have <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/resources/ebook/psychology-of-passwords-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">up to 50 online accounts,</a> so make sure you have all your (digital) bases covered, including:

<h3>Step 2: Create a digital estate plan</h3>
Once you’ve taken stock of your digital assets, you’ll have to decide what you want to do with each. You want to ensure your digital legacy lives on the way you’d like while also minimizing time and effort loved ones might spend trying to recover or close accounts. A digital estate plan also ensures that your sensitive information doesn’t unknowingly fall into the hands of bad actors. 

Think about which accounts you want to remain open and for what purposes (say, paying a mortgage online), along with those you’d like to close after you pass. 
<h3>Step 3: Designate a digital heir</h3>
Now that you have your digital inventory and an estate plan, it’s time to choose someone you trust as your digital heir. While it can be an uncomfortable topic to bring up, it’s an important one. Think about designating someone who would treat your accounts with the same care and attention as their own.    

Your digital heir will want easy access to your accounts, so ensure they have all the passwords they need to carry out your plans. For example, Google has an <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inactive Account Manager</a> to let you designate up to 10 trusted contacts while Facebook lets you designate a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/1568013990080948" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Legacy Contact</a>. 
<h3>A digital life needs a digital legacy</h3>
Your digital afterlife depends on how you plan for it. One way to simplify and automate the process is to use a <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/products/premium-password-manager" target="_blank" rel="noopener">password manager</a> to collect all this information (including documents and photos) in one secure location. 

And with LastPass’s <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/emergency-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emergency Access</a>, your digital heir will be able to request access to your accounts, either immediately or after a specified time period. From there, they'll either maintain or close those accounts based on your <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/digital-will" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digital will</a>. 

Life may be short, but your online accounts live on. Prepare for your digital afterlife now to ensure a secure digital legacy later.

Sunscreen? Check. Bathing suit? Check. Phone charger? Check. LastPass? Check! As you pack your bags and head out for a much-needed summer vacation, don't forget to take your password manager in your pocket, too. As COVID travel restrictions relax and folks venture further from home, planning for digital security and easy access from the road is essential. With a new <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/06/your-digital-life-just-got-easier-on-your-iphone-and-ipad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">save and fill experience on the mobile app</a> plus the release of <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/06/passwordless-is-possible-lastpass-gets-you-there-sooner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passwordless features</a>, LastPass is easier than ever to use on your next trip.
<h3>Before your trip</h3>
Add LastPass to your pre-trip checklist, so your trip is smooth and worry-free, at least regarding passwords:
<ul>
 	<li>Scan your vault with the LastPass security dashboard and make sure your passwords are strong. Now's the time to replace weak, reused, or old passwords with new ones. Strong password security will reduce opportunities for hackers to gain access to your accounts while you're lounging poolside.</li>
 	<li>Upload copies of important documents like your passport, driver's license, payment cards, and health insurance. Make sure you have a digital record in LastPass of anything that would be difficult to replace. In the vault, create an item for each important document and attach images of the document.</li>
 	<li>Download the mobile app(s) if you haven't already. Not only will you have full access to all items stored in your LastPass vault, but you'll also be <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/06/your-digital-life-just-got-easier-on-your-iphone-and-ipad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">able to save new accounts</a> that you may need to create while traveling.</li>
 	<li>Enable two-factor authentication so that you can get in while hackers can't. Enough said.</li>
 	<li>Set up passwordless access with the LastPass Authenticator app. <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/06/passwordless-is-possible-lastpass-gets-you-there-sooner/">Pairing your vault to the app</a> only takes a minute and replaces the need for your master password. You'll have instant, secure passwordless access to the tens or hundreds of items in your vault without remembering and typing a master password.</li>
 	<li>Designate an emergency contact that can take over your vault in an emergency or crisis. Use the password sharing features to share passwords in advance that family, roommates, or coworkers might need while you're out of town.</li>
</ul>
<h3>While you're gone</h3>
Leave the password security to LastPass while you're relaxing and exploring. But, if you need to log in to an account or look something up in your vault, LastPass will be there.
<ul>
 	<li>Fill in logins or save new ones in your mobile browser. Like the desktop browser extensions, LastPass now saves and fills passwords in mobile Safari. The direct browser integration offers a seamless save and fill experience as you need to log in to accounts and capture credentials for newly created logins. Not on Safari? We're rolling out the same experience on Chrome and Firefox later this summer.</li>
 	<li>Use offline access when you don't have WiFi. A locally cached copy of your vault is stored and refreshed <a href="https://support.lastpass.com/help/how-do-i-permit-offline-access-to-my-vault-lp010127" target="_blank" rel="noopener">every time you use the mobile app</a> or browser extensions. Should you find yourself without Internet or a data connection, you can still look up the information you need in LastPass.</li>
</ul>
<h3>When you're back</h3>
As you unpack your bags and settle into daily life, LastPass can help ease the transition back into your work and home routine.
<ul>
 	<li>Watch for unusual account activity, especially if you used unsecured WiFi or public computers on your trip. Look for unusual credit card charges, unprompted login alerts, password reset emails, account lockout emails, and signs of account takeover.</li>
 	<li>Update compromised passwords. When you doubt whether an account was compromised, please change your password with a new one generated by LastPass. LastPass makes it easy to generate a new password and replace the stored credential in your vault. And turn on two-factor authentication wherever available.</li>
 	<li>Use dark web monitoring to also monitor for credentials leaked in data breaches. Follow the instructions LastPass provides in any alerts you receive.</li>
</ul>
This summer, keep your memories and forget your passwords. Literally, with <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/06/passwordless-is-possible-lastpass-gets-you-there-sooner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passwordless login</a> to LastPass, you don't even have to remember a master password. From keeping track of your online accounts to upgrading your password security, LastPass makes password management a breeze. <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/pricing?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=2022summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">So take LastPass along</a> on your next trip for worry-free password security on the go!

Seamless Summer Travel With LastPass

Your browser seems like a safe and convenient place to store passwords. But is it the best option? People often think they don't need a password manager because their browser does it just fine, thank you very much. What many folks don't realize, though, is that a password manager does far more than just store passwords. For security and convenience, password managers are a far superior choice to browsers for both individuals and businesses -- and here's why.
<h3>Browsers can save and fill passwords</h3>
Yes, the major browsers all have built-in password managers. The browser password managers prompt you to save usernames and passwords. Then, when you return to those websites, the browser will fill in the login information. 

In addition, the browser password managers will often sync to the same browser across platforms. So, if you have Chrome on a desktop computer and Chrome on your Android, your data will sync when you log in with the same Google profile. Some of the browsers also save and fill addresses and payment cards. 

For the most part, though, a browser password manager is focused almost entirely on saving and filling passwords. Compared to browser password managers, third-party password managers do everything mentioned above - and more. 
<h3>Everywhere access outside the browser</h3>
A browser password manager only syncs within its ecosystem (Apple to Apple, Google to Google, etc.). In contrast, a password manager supports all major browsers and operating systems and operates independently of the browser. That means more choice and backup options for you when you need your passwords. 

Because a password manager <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/11/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-but-were-too-afraid-to-ask-about-browser-extensions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">integrates into a browser as an extension</a>, users have more flexibility in using their data. Got a Mac laptop and a Google phone? No problem, you can load your password manager on both and have the same data synced between them. A password manager makes sure you always have your passwords, no matter where you are or what device you need to use.

Have family members or coworkers that need to use specific passwords? A password manager covers you there, too, by syncing not only across platforms but also between user accounts. By facilitating secure password sharing, password managers make it easy for families, roommates, friends, and teams to collaborate. It also ensures people have access to accounts in an emergency or crisis.
<h3>Offline access when you don't have a connection</h3>
If you find yourself without an Internet connection or cell service, a password manager still gives you access to your stored accounts. You can look up usernames, passwords, and other stored data. 

How? The data you save to the app is locally cached, meaning the password manager app stores a local encrypted copy on the device. So even when you're "offline," you can log in and decrypt your data. You're never out of luck.
<h3>What about security?</h3>
The makers of popular browsers no doubt take security seriously. Still, very few people ever log out of their browser profile after finishing a browser session. Unfortunately, that means passwords are decrypted and available for anyone with direct access to the device or via malware that can log in with the user's profile, like the recent <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/news/dont-let-web-browsers-save-passwords" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RedLine malware</a>. 

Instead, a password manager requires a dedicated master password that users must enter to decrypt their stored data. Encryption and decryption happen locally on the device, so the master password is never shared with the password manager service. That means the user and only that user has access to their master password and the sensitive data they've stored in their password manager account.

Password managers also make additional security options available and easy to use. For example, users can quickly turn on two-factor authentication so that any login attempts require extra "proof" that blocks unauthorized users from gaining access to the account. 
<h3>Browser password managers create risks to companies</h3>
For businesses, browser password managers are more often a security liability than a help. IT has no visibility into who has access to which passwords and how they're stored because browser password managers offer no centralized oversight and administration. What if an employee were to quit suddenly, be fired, or go rogue? IT admins may struggle to determine which passwords the employee had access to and revoke that access. Failure to properly offboard employees exposes a company to data breaches and attacks via zombie accounts. 

Without a way to ensure compliance with company password policies, IT admins can't know how strong their company's password security is. Given that the majority (some 80%, according to Verizon's DBIR) of data breaches can still be linked to poorly managed passwords, companies should not be allowing users to store passwords in a browser. A business password manager with unified oversight gives password security visibility at the user level, something a browser password manager can't do.
<h3>A smarter, safer password management choice</h3>
It's not that browser password managers don't do what they set out to do. On the contrary, they make it very easy for people to keep track of the overwhelming number of passwords required to manage their lives. Remembering dozens if not hundreds of passwords can be difficult and stressful, and a browser password manager can help alleviate that stress.

But anyone looking to improve their password security, at home or work, shouldn't rely on a browser. A browser password manager offers the bare minimum. In contrast, a third-party password manager like LastPass provides a suite of features to build better password habits and strengthen overall online security. By replacing old passwords with generated ones and leveraging the Security Dashboard to improve password security scores, individuals and businesses can better protect themselves from malicious attacks and data breaches. 

It's not enough to store passwords. To be safe online, we need to change the passwords we use and how we use them. We need to build a culture of security around our entire digital lives. A password manager like LastPass makes good password habits the norm and gives everyone the tools they need to manage their password security successfully.

Why You Shouldn't Store Passwords in a Browser 

Your browser seems like a safe and convenient place to store passwords. But is it the best option? People often think they don't need a password manager because their browse[..]

Remembering passwords is a pain, but so is typing them. Every time you need to log in to an account, you need to (correctly!) enter your username and password. Typing passwords is a repetitive, error-prone time waster. So is filling out your address, payment cards, and other personal details for every online order and signup form. 

That's why you should autofill your passwords with a password manager. Autofilling gives you speed, accuracy, and improved security.

Here's what you need to know about how to use autofill with a password manager like LastPass.
<h3>What is autofill?</h3>
Autofill is shorthand for "automatically filling." In the case of a password manager, you're automatically filling in empty fields, like those for username and password, when you're logging in to a web service or app.

Once you sign up for LastPass and <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/01/new-device-for-a-new-year-set-up-lastpass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">get your account set up</a>, the password manager prompts you to save logins. LastPass then stores those usernames and passwords in your vault. When you return to that website, LastPass recognizes that you have a login stored for that URL. LastPass then automatically fills the login fields with your information, and you can click to log in.

By storing and filling your logins for you, LastPass saves you time and eliminates typos. LastPass also takes the stress out of using long, complicated passwords. It's much easier to create 20-character passwords filled with random symbols and letters if you never have to worry about remembering, typing, or even looking at them! LastPass autofill puts passwords - and password security - on autopilot.
<h3>How to use LastPass autofill on desktop</h3>
The browser extension is the key to autofill on any desktop or laptop browser. So always download LastPass to your browser. The browser extension allows LastPass to "see" what page you're on and help you with any fields on that page. If you've stored one or more logins for that webpage, LastPass will autofill for you.

Filling credentials, completing a signup form, making a purchase, creating a new password - LastPass can detect them all and offer the right action at the right time. As you sign in, LastPass fills your username and password. As you sign up, LastPass fills your name, address, birthdate, and other requested details. As you make a purchase, LastPass enters your payment card information and billing/shipping addresses. As you create a new password, LastPass offers the password generator and stores the new password.

If you have more than one login or payment card to choose from, click the LastPass in-field icon to scroll and find the information you want to use. Clicking the entry you need tells LastPass to autofill that information. A task that would typically take seconds or minutes is reduced to a click to autofill the correct information at the right time.

By downloading the LastPass extension to all browsers on all desktops/laptops you regularly use, you can sync all data stored in your account and autofill everywhere you browse.
<h3>How to use LastPass autofill with the mobile app</h3>
Again, always download the LastPass app to your smartphone(s) and tablet(s). Logging in on the mobile app syncs all the data you stored in LastPass so you can look up and autofill the same data everywhere.

Of course, Android and iOS are different operating systems with distinct looks and functionality, so the LastPass experience can also differ slightly between the two platforms. For example, LastPass offers extensions for the mobile Safari and Chrome browsers that autofills stored credentials. In addition, on iOS, <a href="https://support.lastpass.com/help/enable-autofill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LastPass integrates with Password AutoFill</a>, allowing LastPass to replace Keychain as the password manager of choice and autofill credentials. On Android, you can also <a href="https://support.lastpass.com/help/how-do-i-enable-and-use-autofill-in-the-lastpass-password-manager-app-for-android" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enable LastPass to autofill websites and apps</a>. 
<h3>Autofill best practices</h3>
<a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/autofill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Autofilling</a> is a core functionality of LastPass. With autofill, you can enjoy the full benefits of LastPass and maximize your security with a password manager. A few simple steps will ensure that LastPass can save you time, decrease frustration, and improve your digital security.

Download LastPass to all devices. The browser extensions and mobile apps offer the best experience with LastPass. Visit the official app stores to download LastPass and log in with the same account on all devices to automatically sync and autofill stored data.

Remove saved passwords and turn off browser autofill. Not only can browser autofill conflict with your password manager, but it can also present security concerns. <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/12/how-to-remove-saved-passwords/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delete any saved passwords</a> in the browser and enter them into your password manager before completely disabling browser autofill.

Store all passwords, payment cards, addresses, etc. With LastPass downloaded and your account created, you'll soon save many passwords and generate new ones. The more you store for LastPass to protect, the more data it can safely fill for you. You should save anything you find yourself typing over and over to your vault.

Know how to spot phishing with LastPass. LastPass looks for specific information when determining whether to fill a field, including if the URL is a match. A phishing attempt may lure you to a similar-looking URL, but LastPass will see that it's not the correct URL and won't autofill.

If you follow cybersecurity news, it's easy to become overwhelmed by all the headlines about breaches disrupting businesses. Another day, another breach. After a while, you might even begin to feel like it's just a matter of time before you're caught up in a breach, too. 

Now that our personal and professional lives are more blurred than ever before, it's never been more important to stay vigilant. Here's how you can combat breach fatigue, so you can stop worrying about when the other shoe is going to drop and take back control of your digital life.
<h3>Give your future self some peace of mind with a plan</h3>
By now, almost everyone has had at least some of their information breached. (Not sure if this applies to you? A quick visit to <a href="https://haveibeenpwned.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Have I Been Pwned?</a> will answer that question.) If you've ever received an email from a company, site, or app <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/10/notified-of-a-data-breach-what-to-do-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notifying you that you've been affected</a> by a data breach, then you know how unsettling it can feel to learn that some invisible burglar has made off with your private information. And since this likely to happen again at some point, it could be downright exhausting to think about how exactly you're going to deal with this problem the next time. 

When someone's data is breached, it often appears on the dark web not long afterward. That's where bad actors go to buy, sell, and exchange information they've stolen. Most people don't spend time on the dark web, so they often have no idea when their account credentials – for example, the username and password for the account they use to manage their money – have been posted there. While they're in the dark, an attacker can log in and poke around or even help themselves to some of the cash in their checking account. 

Fortunately, you can get a heads up when your information shows up on the dark web. A good password manager comes with <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/dark-web-monitoring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dark web monitoring</a> tools that automatically alert you in exactly these kinds of cases, giving you an opportunity to reset your password and block digital thieves from accessing your accounts without your permission. With a plan to deal with the next breach, you can rest easy knowing you have better odds of preventing a bad outcome.
<h3>Add some more digital locks to your online accounts</h3>
Just like a lock, a password makes it a little harder for someone to break in via the front door when they want to get into your account. Even a strong password can't always protect your information all by itself, however, which is why it's a good idea to add another lock to the door. <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2019/02/authentication-options-explained-2fa-mfa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Multi-factor authentication</a> (MFA) does this by requiring you (or an attacker trying to pose as you) to complete at least one more step before being granted access to your account. Even if a bad actor gets your username and password from the dark web, they're going to have a harder time getting into your account.

There are a few different kinds of MFA. Often, the MFA tool sends a one-time code to your phone or email account and you then have to provide that code in order to complete the login process. Or, you might have the option to use an authenticator app on your phone instead. In that case, you open up the authenticator app to get the code. Some password managers come with an authenticator app that you can use for just this purpose – LastPass is one of them. There are even more sophisticated versions, like biometrics, that you might use if security is an especially high priority. 

With MFA in place, you'll have an added layer of protection to keep your account more secure. You may even get a notification when someone tries to log in as you, which will give you a chance to reset your password. That way, they'll have an even harder time sneaking in the front door and wreaking havoc.
<h3>Keep an eye on your work accounts, too</h3>
A breach can affect any one of your accounts, whether it's a work account or a personal one. As you're taking smart steps to protect your personal data, don't forget to do the same for your business data. According to the <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/resources/ebook/psychology-of-passwords-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psychology of Passwords 2021</a> report, 68% of people would create stronger passwords for their financial accounts, but only 32% would do the same for their work-related accounts. Hackers are always on the lookout for easy targets, however, and this means that at some point they're probably going to try going after one of your business accounts.

If the thought of adding yet more online accounts to your cybersecurity to-do list gives you <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/06/suffering-from-password-anxiety-and-fatigue-get-a-password-manager/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">password anxiety and fatigue</a>, that's only human. Fifty-one percent of people rely on their memory to keep track of passwords, and 90% of people have up to 50 online or app accounts overall. After a certain point, it's not possible to remember so many passwords. This is where a password manager comes in handy, helping you automatically keep track of everything without the stress or confusion. 

With a password manager, you can store all of your passwords in an encrypted vault and then access them from any device you wish, so you're able to log in right away whenever you need to. A password manager also lets you know when one of your passwords needs to be changed and automatically generates a new secure password to take its place, so you don't have to come up with one on your own. These tools make it easier to protect your work and personal accounts, and they reduce the chances that you'll fall prey to a breach. 
<h3>Combat breach fatigue and take back control of your digital life</h3>
If you're tired of all those headlines about yet another data breach, you're not alone. Breach fatigue is definitely a thing, and it affects us more than we realize. Rather than giving in to the exhaustion, though, it's better to do what you can to secure your accounts now. It's not as complicated as it seems, and it's a great way to give your future self some precious peace of mind. The next time you find out that one of your accounts may have been involved in a breach, you'll feel more at ease knowing you have better tools to protect your digital life.

As organizations rapidly adopt new cloud apps and web services, they face a critical challenge: making sure employee access is as seamless as it is secure. Now that our digital lives have expanded in the past few years, so too have the access points through which cyber attackers can wreak havoc or compromise sensitive business data.

Businesses are using single sign-on (SSO) solutions to counter this threat. SSO tools help organizations centrally manage employee accounts, and they also give employees convenient and secure access to many enterprise-ready cloud apps. They leave a gap, however — not all apps are compatible with SSO. Password management can fill this gap, enabling organizations to ensure a more comprehensive and secure approach to employee identity access management.

Here's a look at the benefits of password management and single sign-on (SSO) for your business, and how these two tools can deliver the best benefits of all when paired together.
<h3>How password management and SSO tools work </h3>
To do their jobs, employees typically have to keep track of a large number of usernames and passwords. These days, they have to juggle more credentials than ever. According to the <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/resources/ebook/psychology-of-passwords-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Psychology of Passwords 2021 Report</a>, 90% of respondents have up to 50 accounts to manage. Remembering which password goes with which account can be a chore, leading to <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/06/suffering-from-password-anxiety-and-fatigue-get-a-password-manager/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">password anxiety and fatigue</a>. Before long, employees may end up throwing in the towel and reusing the same password for multiple accounts (65% of respondents said that they did this). Risky password practices like these put the company at risk.

SSO solves this problem by giving employees a portal where they can log in just once and gain one-click access to all of their essential business applications. This way, they can get up and running in no time from anywhere.

Password management takes a slightly different approach. Employees can use a business password manager to securely store all of their passwords in an encrypted vault, accessing it from the device of their choice and even having the password manager automatically fill in their passwords for them. A smart password management solution can also introduce employees to good password hygiene practices, for example by alerting them when one of their passwords is being re-used elsewhere and automatically generating a secure, complex password to take its place.
<h3>How password management fills the gaps of SSO</h3>
Although organizations find SSO valuable for security and streamlining the login experience for employees, there's a catch: not all apps and web services are compatible with the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) technologies that SSO uses. This means that if your organization uses a specialized application or some unusual software, it might not work with SSO out of the box (so to speak). Your employees may be stuck having to keep mental track of those usernames and passwords, just like before, making it hard to maximize <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/06/the-benefits-of-sso-with-lastpass-business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the benefits of SSO</a>.

Fortunately, password management can fill these gaps.  If an application or website is not compatible with SAML or LDAP, a password manager provides a method to securely store and share that credential. It also helps IT enforce security controls for employee-introduced apps and web services, ensuring protection at every access point.
<h3>How password management and SSO can improve security </h3>
Although employees appreciate how password management and SSO make it easier to for them to be productive from anywhere, these tools offer additional security benefits that many organizations will find attractive. For example, when used together, these tools can reduce the total number of credentials used. This, in turn, limits the total number of passwords that can be compromised. With fewer access points to target, attackers will find it a little harder to gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems or data.

Password management and SSO also reduce the number of employee login attempts and resets that are typically required when an organization doesn't have SSO or password management in place. Employees can also use a password manager to securely share credentials to an account that is shared by multiple team members. All of these security enhancements help IT and security pros get a better night's sleep.

Password management and SSO also give admins greater insight into how employee accounts are being accessed via both high-level and granular dashboard reports. This way, they can more easily stay on top of any security concerns affecting the business without having to juggle between multiple monitoring tools. It's also easier to onboard new employee accounts using these tools, which frees up precious time that IT can use to keep the business running smoothly and securely.
<h3>Streamline and secure employee logins with password management and SSO</h3>
More people are working from home than ever before, and they're juggling more accounts, too. SSO makes their lives easier by giving them access to many of the apps they need using just one username and password. However, not all apps and services are compatible with SSO, which can lead to worrisome security gaps. Password management tools can fill these gaps by giving employees convenient access to the rest of the apps they need - all without having to keep track of yet another username and password. With both of these complementary solutions in place, employees can work more smoothly from anywhere — and business leaders can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their employee accounts and data are more secure.

Password Management and SSO: Better Together

Keeping everyone in sync is crucial when your team is working on a project. Whether team members work in an office, from their home, or while traveling, they need instant access to the right resources to keep tasks moving along. For a work-from-anywhere team, secure password sharing is instrumental to facilitating better and safer collaboration. With a password manager to share account logins, everyone can access the information they need without sacrificing admin oversight or security.
<h3>Why password sharing matters</h3>
Passwords are a fact of work life. We use passwords to access company email, the corporate network, cloud apps, databases, subscriptions, client portals, and dozens more accounts in the workplace. As team members collaborate on projects or manage shared tasks, password sharing is often required. The challenge is to share those passwords securely, especially when team members are in different locations.

In the past, team members have relied on sticky notes, shared spreadsheets, emails, or text messages to share passwords. Unfortunately, in addition to being insecure, all those methods are tedious time-wasters. Searching out a password every time you need it, bothering team members for the correct password, interrupting your workflow to remember where you can find that password - this style of password sharing is inefficient and disruptive. The lack of encryption or verification also means that data is open to cyberattacks and theft. With <a href="https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir/2020/summary-of-findings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">80% of data breaches</a> traced back to poor password management, using a password manager to securely share passwords can reduce your organization's risk of a data breach.
<h3>How a password manager helps</h3>
With a password manager, users can share a selected password, or even a folder of passwords, with another individual or a group of users. The user can also decide whether others should view the password or not. Strong encryption protects passwords from cyberattacks and prying eyes. 

Not only are shared passwords stored and transmitted securely with a password manager, but the whole process of password sharing is also automated. The password manager automatically syncs changes to shared logins, including when someone needs to replace a password with a new one. 

Best practices recommend generating a unique password for every account. Because a password manager automatically creates new passwords and autofills them when logging in, users don't have to stress about keeping track of complicated passwords. It's all managed for them.

Equally importantly, admins have oversight even when team members share passwords. A password manager ties actions to individuals so that admins can trace any changes or suspicious activities to a specific user.  

For example, a company's social media team has multiple contributors. Suppose every team member needs to access the social media accounts. How do you give five people a password without jeopardizing the business's public face? 

Password sharing can help organizations securely share passwords with everyone involved in the project, so everyone can securely get their work done. On average, <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/state-of-the-password/global-password-security-report-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a company has 185 shared folders</a>. Using a password manager to <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/enterprise/sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implement policies and tracking reports</a> on shared passwords ensures everyone follows security best practices even with that volume of shared credentials. In addition, centralizing the storage of shared credentials into a password manager gives managers oversight of team accounts; admins know who has access to what and can restrict access as needed. 

Ultimately, a business password manager is an efficient, secure way to share logins. Without a password manager, employees resort to inefficient, insecure password sharing that puts the company at risk of breach and slows down day-to-day operations. No matter where or when employees sit down to get their work done, sharing passwords through a team password manager keeps everyone up-to-date and instantly connected while prioritizing security and privacy.

If you're a long-time user of LastPass, you've probably accumulated a large number of passwords and website details in your vault. And you're probably familiar with how to <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/09/how-to-use-lastpass-to-share-passwords/">share</a>, <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/08/dont-just-store-passwords-monitor-them-too/">monitor</a>, and store important account information safely with LastPass. But what about the passwords you used to keep in other places? What do you need to know about how to remove saved passwords from common browsers and devices? And how can you use LastPass to <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/dark-web-monitoring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regularly audit</a> your password security? 
<h3>Finding saved passwords</h3>
Before using a password manager like LastPass, it's common for people to let their browser capture usernames and passwords. They're convenient, but browser password managers <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2018/01/the-eternal-question-why-cant-i-just-use-my-browser/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are much more basic and offer fewer security features</a>. Moving over to a password manager like LastPass is a security upgrade, but many people forget they stored passwords in their browser that they need to remove.

Do you still have credentials stored in your browser(s)? It's important to check so you can remove saved passwords:

</ul>
<h3>Removing saved passwords</h3>
First, review the stored passwords closely. Are they logins you're still using? If so, have you already <a href="https://support.logmeininc.com/lastpass/help/import-passwords-from-other-sources-lp040003" target="_blank" rel="noopener">imported them to LastPass</a>? If not, take a few minutes to transfer them over. 

If you're no longer using an account, log in to the website and delete or deactivate it, so your personal information is also removed from the site. And if you stored a password in LastPass that you no longer need, it's just a few clicks to <a href="https://support.logmeininc.com/lastpass/help/delete-stored-passwords-lp020006" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remove saved passwords</a> from the vault or extension menu.

Now you can wipe your passwords from your browsers. Also, don't forget to check older browsers or devices that you're no longer using as much. 
<h3>Audit your password security</h3>
After you remove saved passwords from your browsers, you can focus on using LastPass to improve your password security. With all passwords encrypted and secured in your password vault, you can better safeguard your credentials ⁠— and the accounts they protect. 

An annual audit of your password security is a good idea. Use the <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/security-dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LastPass Security Dashboard</a> to see how you're doing at a glance. Identify weak or reused passwords so that you can immediately update them with a new password generated by LastPass. Watch your security score increase as you replace passwords. Also, enable dark web monitoring to be notified of any data breaches that exposed your information, so you can respond promptly and avoid getting hacked.

In short, getting started with a password manager like LastPass helps you be proactive with your online security. A browser password manager might passively save your logins, but it doesn't help you practice better security. With LastPass, you'll not only be able to see if any accounts are at risk, but you'll also have the tools to do something about it. A built-in password generator, a vault to manage stored data, a Security Dashboard for regular check-ups, and instant sync to any of your devices. Take advantage of <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/products/premium-password-manager" target="_blank" rel="noopener">all LastPass has to offer</a> to take your security to the next level.

The way we work has changed irrevocably – for the better. Workers are feeling more empowered to better balance their personal lives with their professional commitments. Taking a work call at the beach boardwalk or making time for a hike between meetings can easily be found on any LinkedIn feed. 

At the same time, hackers have taken note of this shift in workplace priorities and geographies, with an alarming <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/ransomware-cyberattacks-rise/story?id=77832650" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increase in cyberattacks</a> (ransomware attacks alone <a href="https://hbr.org/2021/05/ransomware-attacks-are-spiking-is-your-company-prepared" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grew by 150%</a> in 2020). With workforces displaced due to the pandemic, and their desire to stay firmly put in this work-from-anywhere world, the days of employees sitting together at desks on the same network are becoming the exception rather than the norm. 

With continuous change for businesses in the face of an evolving work and breach landscape, a password management solution that covers all employees is the most effective way to ensure every identity in your business is secure. 

Let’s take a closer look at the state of the work-from-anywhere world and threat environment, and how an organization-wide deployment of LastPass can give you an identity advantage and password peace of mind.   
<h3>A work-from-anywhere world is here to stay</h3>
With the rise of remote work, people can spend more time with their families, skip a draining commute, and schedule their work duties around their life – not the other way around. 

According to LastPass’s 2021 Psychology of Passwords <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/09/new-report-2021-psychology-of-passwords/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, 71% of people worked wholly or partly remotely over the past year. However, only 32% create strong passwords for work related accounts. And looking toward 2022, 41% of remote workers want to stay remote, a recent PwC US pulse <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-many-workers-want-to-work-remotely-pwc-survey-2021-8">survey</a> finds. 

Improved employee engagement, increased productivity, higher revenue, and reduced costs means that remote work is a <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/04/drive-business-success-and-security-with-an-anywhere-work-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">win-win for workers and their companies</a>. But employees must embrace working securely from anywhere, meaning businesses need to ensure the proper identity controls are in place and the appropriate tools are available. 
<h3>Cybersecurity attacks are growing – and evolving</h3>
Threats are evolving. Hackers are getting craftier. Alongside pandemic headlines, cybercrime continued (and will continue) to capture readers’ attention. 

When 85% of data breaches involve a human element, according to the <a href="https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Verizon DBIR,</a> employees' poor security habits – especially those involving passwords – are putting their companies at risk.

In 2020 alone, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/10/11/how-cyberattacks-are-changing-according-to-new-microsoft-digital-defense-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">phishing attacks doubled,</a> with credential phishing the main culprit in the more damaging hacks. Email phishing saw an upward trend, according to Microsoft’s Digital Defense Report, and vishing (voice phishing) also increased. Hackers seem to be using the tried-and-true email route while diversifying to phone calls and voice messages to target their marks. 

The 2021 <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/08/t-mobile-data-breach-what-makes-this-one-different-and-what-you-can-do-now-to-stay-secure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T-Mobile breach</a> was a particularly pernicious attack, involving social security numbers, driver’s license information, and International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers, reported <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/t-mobile-hack-data-phishing/?bxid=60352cd7c19a5e385633ff90&amp;cndid=63908569&amp;esrc=bouncexmulti_first&amp;mbid=mbid%3DCRMWIR012019%0A%0A&amp;source=EDT_WIR_NEWSLETTER_0_DAILY_ZZ&amp;utm_brand=wired&amp;utm_campaign=aud-dev&amp;utm_mailing=WIR_Daily_081621&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=nl&amp;utm_term=list1_p4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WIRED</a> – data beyond the typical names, phone numbers and physical addresses. 

The RockYou2021 breach made headlines as the <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2021/06/rockyou2021-breach-how-to-keep-your-data-secure-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest leak ever</a> at 8.4 billion passwords; the 2009 RockYou attack involved 32 million accounts. Based on this upward trajectory of leaked credentials, we might be looking at an eleven-figure breach in the future.  

In the face of a unique threat landscape, and with an increasingly dispersed workforce, how will your business keep employees secure while ensuring hackers stay far away?
<h3>Comprehensive password security is your best defense – at the best price</h3>
Although many believe that single sign-on (SSO) alone will protect your organization from making the headlines, a password management solution for every employee is an essential complement to lock down all access points. Many applications are not compatible with SSO, and IT may not even be aware that their employees are using certain applications as Shadow IT increases.

With LastPass password management and options for SSO and MFA, your business can maintain complete visibility and control into your security while ensuring protection.  An organization-wide deployment of LastPass, or a Site License, offers a LastPass account for every employee in your organization at a flat fee versus a seat-based rate. This option offers you the flexibility to scale LastPass as your company grows, without any additional costs. You’ll be able to secure your entire organization while saving up to 25% on each license.

When you get started with LastPass, the first thing you do is create an account. After that, you'll install the LastPass browser extension. But you may be wondering: What exactly is a browser extension? And why do I need to install it? How will my experience be better with the LastPass browser extension? And how can I make sure that I'm safely using the LastPass browser extension or any extension for that matter?
<h3>A browser what?</h3>
<a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/718676/what-is-a-browser-extension/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A browser extension</a> is what we call software that runs in a browser. It modifies your browsing experience by enhancing existing browser features or offering features that aren't otherwise available in your browser. Extensions have been around for a while and have exploded in popularity in recent years. For example, the browser Google Chrome now offers over 100,000 extensions!
<h3>How an extension works</h3>
Installing an extension is usually quick and easy. Whether it's an extension developed by the company that makes the browser or third-party software, you're usually directed to the browser app store to download an extension. Once there, it's a few simple clicks to install. Sometimes you'll need to grant the extension special browser privileges. Once downloaded, the extension will appear as a small icon at the top of your browser in the toolbar. Clicking the icon will allow you to open a menu to use the extension's features and settings.
<h3>The benefits of an extension</h3>
So why would you want an extension? Well, first, there are a lot of different types of extensions. Some of them are very simple - like changing the "theme" of your browser with different colors, graphics, and fonts. Others provide easy and expanded access to software the browser developers offer, like Docs and Sheets in Chrome. Others provide security benefits by modifying your experience, like blocking ads or malvertising. Finally, some extensions, like LastPass, are the primary way software benefits you as you browse.

The LastPass browser extension is what powers <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2018/10/lastpass-browser-extension-101-for-chrome-safari-firefox-more/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LastPass' most valuable features</a>. For example, the extension allows LastPass to "see" when you need to save a password or when you've returned to a website and want to fill in your credentials to log in again. It can also "see" when you need to generate a new password, enter your address, or submit a credit card. 

The LastPass browser extension gives LastPass the ability to anticipate the information you need to store and use so that it can blend seamlessly with your browsing experience and make password security that much easier. <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2018/01/the-eternal-question-why-cant-i-just-use-my-browser/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Compared to your browser's password manager</a>, the LastPass browser extension offers better protection of your data and more features, like Dark Web Monitoring and Emergency Access.
<h3>Using the LastPass browser extension</h3>
No matter which browser you use, you can <a href="https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">download the LastPass browser extension</a> instantly. Once installed, you'll see the LastPass logo on a small icon in your browser toolbar. Clicking that icon will allow you to log in to your LastPass account. Once logged in, the icon will usually change color (from gray to red) and <a href="https://support.logmeininc.com/lastpass/help/video-meet-the-browser-extension-37-1309697021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unlock all LastPass features and settings</a>. Then, as you browse and log into websites, the extension will prompt you to save passwords to your LastPass vault, generate new passwords (and then save them), fill forms, and more. If you ever want to open your vault, click the LastPass browser extension and select "Open my vault." Once the vault launches, you can search, view, edit, add, and organize your stored data.

In short, the extension not only powers LastPass's features as you browse, but it also gives you quick, convenient access to everything you store in LastPass, as well as any settings you may want to change.
<h3>How to safely use browser extensions </h3>
Like anything you do on the web, it's essential to be mindful of cyber security best practices <a href="https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/browser-extensions-security/20886/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">when downloading and using extensions</a>. Tips to stay safe when enjoying the benefits of browser extensions include:
<ul>
 	<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Downloading trusted extensions directly from the app store. Always search for an extension in the browser's app store rather than downloading from a third-party site. Check the "owner" of the extension - is it the brand or company you would expect? If not, someone may be posing as them with a malicious extension. Are there plenty of downloads and reviews? Take the time to verify that an extension is from a reputable provider and that someone isn't impersonating that software provider in the app store.</li>
 	<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Reviewing permissions before installing. Browsers typically offer blanket statements when an extension requires additional permissions. Of course, needing extra permissions isn't always a problem. Still, you'll want to review why exactly the app needs them and decide if you're comfortable with that level of access to your browsing activity, cookies, or other data.</li>
 	<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">Periodically removing extensions you aren't using. Sometimes you unknowingly install an extension, whether benign or malicious. Or, maybe you no longer use a service. Go through your extensions and remove those you're no longer using or don't remember installing.</li>
 	<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1">Following cybersecurity basics. The LastPass browser extension will help you make strong, unique passwords for all of your web accounts. Also, turn on two-factor authentication for as many accounts as possible, including LastPass, online banking, social media, email, and any other account containing financial, medical, or personally identifiable information. Finally, don't click on suspicious links, don't open attachments that you weren't expecting, change passwords when a software company has suffered a data breach, and keep an eye out for suspicious account activities.</li>
</ul>
Downloading the LastPass browser extension is a convenient, safe way to simplify your online browsing experience and better protect yourself from fraud and cybercrime. If you haven't taken this important step yet, take a few minutes today to sign up for LastPass and <a href="https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">install the browser extension</a> to get started with these timesaving, security-enhancing features.

As we all spend more time online, the more we need a simple way to access our digital life. Our digital life is how we access our work, keep in touch with loved ones and stay entertained. However, cybercriminals are unfortunately capitalizing on this time of change as an <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2020/03/protect-your-organization-from-phishing-attack-uptick.html/">opportunity for cyberattacks</a>. And even with so much in flux, the reality is that security needs to remain a top priority.

We all need a simple and secure way to access everything we store online. With <a href="http://lastpass.com/">LastPass</a>, you can organize your digital life to simplify access to everything you need and leave the security concerns to us.

Secure Your Digital Life

LastPass stores all your passwords in one centralized location, making secure access easy. Simply <a href="https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php">download the LastPass browser extension</a> and LastPass will work behind the scenes and go wherever you go, storing all your passwords across sites so they are always there when you need them. But it’s not only passwords, you can also store credit cards, passports, insurance details, and even WiFi information to protect the entirety of your digital life. And with LastPass, it’s very protected. LastPass is built on a zero-knowledge security model where your data is encrypted and decrypted at the device level; simply put: no one ever knows your passwords – not even us!

Access Your Digital Life Across All Devices – For Free

The more time we spend online, the more devices we use to browse the web. Whether it’s our work or personal computer, mobile device or even tablet – the way we access our digital life isn’t always the same. That’s why <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2020/01/all-your-passwords-every-device-for-free.html/">LastPass syncs across all your devices for free</a>, so securely accessing your digital life is easy no matter which device. Plus, LastPass has unlimited password storage so you don’t have to worry about how many accounts have – LastPass can secure them all from wherever you’re logging in from.

Stay Connected with Loved Ones

In a time where we are physically apart, we need a secure way to stay connected. But sticky notes and spreadsheets full of passwords invite risk. <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2020/04/sharing-passwords-while-working-remote-no-problem.html/">Password sharing</a> through LastPass enables you to securely share passwords so everyone has access to what they need. Whether you’re sharing the WiFi password with your significant other, or the <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/family-password-manager">Netflix password with mom and dad</a>, the LastPass Sharing Center keeps everyone securely connected. You can share with another individual or a group, decide whether you want to make the passwords visible to others or not, and if you change the password for a shared account – the password will automatically sync with those whom you’re sharing with.

Protect Against Cyber Risk

The security risk is real, but LastPass makes security simple through an easy-to-use dashboard that works across browsers and mobile devices. LastPass offers a <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/2019/09/improving-your-security-with-the-lastpass-security-challenge.html/">Security Score</a> that analyzes the strength and security of each stored password, so everyone knows how they rank in terms of password security. To increase the strength of each password, <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/password-generator">use a password generator</a> to create unique and strong passwords for each site. Plus, in a time when phishing schemes are on the rise, LastPass can help mitigate this risk by never auto-filling on suspicious websites.

With so much in flux, we don’t have time for anything to slow us down. LastPass is a free password manager that helps millions of people around the world simply and securely access everything they need online.
