 So we're going to talk today about LastPass. And as above my head, it says, simplify your life. LastPass manages all your online passwords. And it actually has some option, some member application passwords as well. We're going to focus on the browser extension for LastPass, the features you get with the free one. But I do recommend if you want some of those enhanced features, you can buy both. They have a premium version for a whole $12 a year. And then they have a business version, which gives you another set of features on top of that. That being said, one of the problems with password management is, well, it's a headache. There's a lot of websites I have to log into. And I do not want to use the same password for all of them. That's a lot of times what people do. And what happens is if a website gets compromised and they compromise all the passwords on it, the people that took the password sets try those passwords on lots of other websites. So if your password for one website gets compromised and it was the same username, password, combination you use everywhere, well, now they have access to everything that they can log into with that. That being said, the solution to combat this is having really good unique passwords for every website. Also makes them a lot harder to guess. So the way LastPass handles this is a pretty clever method. They create an encrypted vault that you have a master password for. You have, they don't. As in they cannot see your passwords, which is really one of the reasons I like LastPass a lot. So you're probably started to think, well, what websites get compromised with LastPass gets compromised. Well, they kind of thought ahead on this. And what they did was they designed a system that, one, if it was compromised, as in the back end of the system, the hackers would only get the encrypted vault. They would not get your passwords. The encryption is really, really good on this. Encryption is really well protected. But if you lose your master password and as that kind of implies, the master password on Lockshare Vault, you don't have a recovery method. So LastPass, when you're signing up, they remind you to make sure you get a really good password set for one. But two, you can't get it back. They offer a hint option, but there is no emailing your password back to you because they never store your password. This is one of the things. I know there's other companies doing it. But this is one of the things I really like about LastPass. Because some of these companies, if they store your data and have access to your passwords, then it kind of becomes, they become the target because they would have access to everything. The other reason LastPass did this is American government. They never wanted to have to worry about a subpoena from the government to go, hey, give me so-and-so's passwords. They simply can't, that subpoena would be useless because LastPass doesn't have your master password. Therefore, they cannot decrypt all your other passwords. So any call from the government to access all the passwords on their server because for whatever reason, they don't have to worry about because, well, they don't have the passwords. So not likely a subpoena will ever come. That being said, let's talk about the product now. So they have the premium version, which is a whole $12 a year. The free version, which gives you all kinds of features. Let's jump over here to the screens. So the free version gives you access to all your devices, save and fill passwords, a random password generator, secure notes, share passwords and notes, which is really cool. Security challenge, two-factor authentication. Premium includes everything in free plus, shared to a family, fold-up to five users, the UB key in Sesame, two-factor authentication. Now, it's great that it supports two-factor. It's even nice if you're someone who's using what they call a UB key, which is a key you plug into your computer. You plug that in and LastPass will automatically authenticate with that. So you type in your master password then you use your UB key. You get priority tech support, which I've never used tech support, never been an issue. Desktop fingerprint identification and one gig of encrypted storage. And I am using your premium, so I'm not really using the desktop app or the one gig encrypted storage, but novel that they offer it. All right, so when you go to Get LastPass Free, it wants to add the extension to your browser. I already have the extension installed pretty straightforward, just add extension. When you wanna create an account, it's your email, your master password. Now, your master password, this is really important. Make it very good, because if someone can get your master password, they have all of your other passwords. But you don't necessarily, I don't like the word password, it's more about passphrase. So it is a password, but you can combine maybe several words together, maybe a sentence with some special characters in it, or maybe even, I've had some people tell me they like to tell a little bit of a story in here. Basically you want something that is very hard to guess. And I like how they, you know, Fido eight my two wool socks. There's kind of an example where you string a couple things together. So it's not just some password. Now the other thing too is, as you type the strength of your passwords, let you know until it gets to full green, which is a really random amount of passwords. So if I just type my name, Thomas, that's really bad password, because someone can guess it. Now you have an optional reminder for your password. And this is just a reminder. Like I said, there is no resetting your password. Once you've created an account, there's not an option to reset that password if you forgot it. So please remember your master password. Mine is particularly long and it works really well because I'm used to typing it, but because I don't type lots of random passwords, I only take this one really long password and I go in the last pass, helps me quite a bit. So let me kind of show you last pass in action. So when you detected a website with a fillable form, last pass has options to both fill forms and fill out passwords. So when you're creating new accounts, you don't have to come up with the password. It will take care of that for you. So we're gonna hit fill form and I have my office and my personal options. So we're gonna go to my office and I fill in my office information here. We're gonna just close that little window. And this is a dummy form I set up just to show you how it fills in. It's contextually aware. It reads all the forms. And for the most part, it gets them very, very accurate. So long as the website named all the forms properly, like first name, last name, city, state, zip, it has no problem filling all that information in there for you. And we'll get to how that works in a minute. Now I've put my email address in and now we're gonna have it go ahead and create a password. So we can just say generate and fill. And it will generate and fill a password for this. Now, the password generated and I can regenerate it again here, so we're gonna click it again. And with more options, I can have it show me what the password was. I can say link the password. And this is so you can comply with different websites. Some of them have the option that they only are allowed so many characters, which I've always been kind of annoyed by why they only allow things like, oh, we only allow eight characters for your password, no special symbols, no numbers, but you do need to have one uppercase. You can check these boxes and it will generate one. We're gonna let's lower it down to 10 here. You can say use numbers, don't use numbers, only use uppercase, only use lowercase. So you can comply with the company's policies that you're signing up for, to website's policies to make the password fit there. You can type in your own, it will remember it. I generally like to just let last pass to it. Now it does have a couple options too, like easy to read. And what easy to read means is don't use two ambiguous characters that look too much like each other, like L and one next to each other, lowercase L and a numeric one. Easy to say, make some kind of pseudo-pronounceable. They're less secure passwords, but they're kind of novel that you can do that. So generate and fill, pull up more options. So they're kind of novel. Some, any other thing that's nice too, maybe if you're typing in a phone, you don't wanna use the special symbols as much. I mean, there's options here. You're trading off security though. I highly recommend really high entry password, but then again, some websites simply don't allow really random passwords. And you see a little strength bar once again. So if we lower the characters, we see it's a very low, easy to guess password as the length goes up. It moves this up as well. And then if you wanted to add something to it, you can just type in the box here. And there we go, that's our password. Log in. Now I had to just take me to Google, but it says, hey, look, you didn't, you wanna do with that safe password. We're gonna add it. Now that password's in my vault. Now let's open up the vault so we can show how that works. So I'm already logged into my vault and you just click here and open, go to my vault up here, little icon where the last pass logo is. And you can see all the different websites. I haven't sorted by some of the most recent things I logged into and it's pretty nice. You can easily search things. So we're gonna jump in and look for my last pass test. Now I can relaunch the website from here or we're gonna edit it. So let's go ahead and edit the website. And if I wanna see my password, here's that password, and I added some numbers here. I have the option from here to add it to my favorites, share the password with someone, delete the password, or edit the form fields. So it realizes like for this form, and you can do this to customize certain websites. You can say when I go to this website, these are the answers I want in. So for any particular website, you can override some of the answers that go in here. Now the way it generates all the information in terms of my address and information is under these settings here. So I have my office and personal. You can create multiple profiles. We're gonna open up my office one. And this is where I just fill in all my information as far as those little details of my first name, last name, blah, blah, blah. Then we have that. Then we have my address, information, contact information, credit card, bank account, custom fields. Now I actually use this, I trust last pass them because this is all stored in an encrypted vault. I have my credit card number in there as well. This is really handy. Anytime I go to a website, I don't have to go type in all the numbers. It will go in and fill them all out for me. So anytime I'm going in there, it fills you now. One of the nice things one is doing to fill out is it stops and lets you know that, hey, this website is asking for a credit card. Are you sure you want to put your credit card in this website? That's pretty handy. And actually it can solve another issue. There's been a few weird attacks someone came up with where they create a webpage with a hidden credit card field and because some people use auto fill, it auto fills in the credit card and it's outside the view of the website but it automatically fills it in. It's a different way. It's a new kind of phishing attack that's popped up for people who do things like save all their passwords in their browser. By the way, saving passwords in your browser, horrible idea, don't do it. It's really easy to get the passwords back out of the browser. With LastPass, you can't just go in and get the passwords without logging in with your master password. So there's how you do the form and I have one for personal, one for my office. Let's go back here, go to the LastPass test, we'll launch the website. Now, we can fill all this back in again and in the password there, if I wanted to actually fill in, auto fill and it can fill in those passwords. So now LastPass filled in the password for this and I would log in. This is a dummy form so it's probably not the best example of it but something else we can do here, we're gonna hit generate and fill again and hit log in and we're going to hit update. Now, what this did, I'm gonna pull it up over here, we updated the password. So now we have a password history and by doing this, here's the previous password, here's the new password. This is a really nice feature of LastPass. It also, in case you accidentally over type a password and then clicked update and it wasn't the password you wanted to put in there, it allows you to keep a revision history of your password. So that's really nice handy feature on there. Pretty much automatic. So when you type in a new password, if you wanna change your password on a website, you can just hit the, instead of filling in the form, you just go ahead and generate it and away you go. It will automatically do this. Now, there's other websites we can log into too, so let's go to GitHub for example. We click this, we sign into the website, done. I'm logged into my GitHub account. Now, this is another really nice feature that a lot of websites have. They have an auto change password option. So we're gonna hit auto change password. Yep, change password now. And what this option does on sites that support it, it automatically changes your password for that website. Not every website supports this feature, but it's kinda cool if it pops up, that's something that does. If we open up my other one here, you'll notice how there's nothing that says auto change password. Now, something else you may have noticed is I have some IP addresses in here. That's because LastPass also supports internal servers as well, which is pretty cool. So any of our local servers, I can save my passwords in there and log right into them. So one more handy feature for using LastPass. Now, let's talk about the sharing feature that they have in here. So LastPass supports sharing. And when you share with someone, you have the option of allow recipient to view password, and then you can click share. Now, this view the password is kind of novel. There's workarounds for it. Once you're sharing your password with someone, just so you know, there's hacks, so to speak, so they can still view the password. They would, it's all non-trivial, but there is a methodology by which they can get it. What this is allowing you to do is it allows them to log in, but this doesn't allow them to click the show password button. I don't really think it's a big deal. If you're sharing your password with someone, you clearly are allowing them access to your account. Now, the way the sharing works, it works via the LastPass back end. So when you share with someone else, they get a notice that you shared a password with them. And because it passes from encrypted vault to encrypted vault one, you're still not sharing the password with LastPass two. The password now support, now is easily synced with yours. So if I share a password, and for example, we're gonna discard this because I'm not sharing this, we'll go to the sharing center, and I have pending and accepted passwords for things that I've shared. What this is really nice is two things. One, any of these websites that I log into that I have a person sharing with, if I change the password, it automatically changes on their side as well. So this makes it very simple. So like with a lot of my team and my web developer, if we needed an account login for something that we have to create or buy, I go ahead and create the account. I hit share, share it with her. Now you can also, and I just haven't done this because I've been using LastPass since before the feature existed, you can create a folder in this. Everything you put in that folder becomes shared with the people in that folder. Then you can see what's been shared with you with the share with me option. This is also handy, and it's also searchable at the top here, because when you share a bunch of things, did I share this password with someone or not? You can easily find it. It also is good for revocation because you can simply unshare the passwords with people. And once you unshare them, just in case they saved the password somehow, you change the password and now that person can't get into that account anymore. Like I said, for business, this is kind of like become an indispensable tool to easily get passwords, because always the tricky part is how do I get a password to someone? Now that other someone does have to have LastPass. If they don't have LastPass, it sends them an email offering for the free signup. And the sharing passwords is a free integrated part of LastPass. So this doesn't cost any money, so it doesn't cost them anything to sign up for LastPass as well. And sometimes this is kind of how I've gotten a lot of people sign up for LastPass and suggested they use it. And once they do, they're like, wow, this makes my life a lot easier, which it really does. The last thing I'm gonna show you is how it synchronizes between different computers. So this, you know, formerly created on the fly here during this video. So now we're gonna switch over to another box and show you what, when I log in how that works. So I got my Windows 10 run in here. Open up, open up the vault. Here's that LastPass test that we just created. It automatically says open it synced up in here. We're gonna go to edit. Now, because I haven't logged in completely, I'm only partially logged in as they call it. So there's different type levels of login. Being red means I've at least put my username and password in once and I've unlocked it, but I haven't actually allowed the passwords to be done. So by doing this, it's prompted me again for my master password. This is not our security feature. And then I can say, while I'm sitting here, and I usually do this, like for the next hour, don't prompt me again so I can log into websites. Sometimes when I first get here, you know, there's some websites you ought to log into. So I open up LastPass once you log in once and we're gonna type my master password. Now I can say, every time I do a website. So if you really want to be more secure, which is recommended, every time you go to a website, you want it to be prompt you for your master password, but you're going, man, I don't want to type my master password all the time. So I'm gonna say for the next hour, any time I go into my vault or fill in passwords, don't bug me for it. So we're gonna hit continue and here it is. Immediately it's synced. I mean, it takes maybe less than a minute to sync between different browsers that you're logged into. So this is really handy if I create a password on my laptop, it right away is on my desktop and vice versa. So if I created a new account, sign in that I need to get into later on a different computer. Last pass, I load the plugin and all the computers that I use and it immediately gives me that login option. So and then once again, all the show password features are there, the password history, it's completely synced. So everything you change changes fall right over. Now I'm gonna go over to GitHub, launch. See, I'm not logged in on this browser, sign in, done. Now I haven't turned off in this Chrome, I didn't turn off but I highly do recommend turning off and when you're loading it, one of the prompts is turn off saving passwords in browser. Like I said, that's a bad idea, don't save them. I just haven't turned it off in this particular copy of Chrome. But as you can see, last pass is really handy for keeping your vaults, really handy for keeping track of just all the different websites you log into, even if they're internal ones. I'll pull up the options menu in my account settings here real quick. In here, I have my trusted devices, different things I've at one time logged into and then I go ahead and remove later different options. You can also, I have currently no mobile devices. They can add my phone if I wanted to but I don't usually keep all my passwords on my phone out of my long, this is not a need. I have the really long master password I don't wanna type that in a phone but once you do add it to a phone you can make an exemption, say only this phone is allowed to do it. I have never URLs for things when I don't want things filled in. Equivalent domains is kind of neat. They have a bunch of them in here and what they are is, some companies have multi domains for logins and you create an equivalency like this login follows over to here, my bank does that, part of their banking system does it. So last pass can fill in both sides and realize that those two websites are the same. Multi-factor options but they also have some of the other if you're using your premium like the UB code key that you can get or a smart card or the Sesame software application to create verification codes. So that's pretty much it last pass in a nutshell here. It's a great system, I'm really happy with it. I've been using it now for I think almost three years. So if you like the content here, like and subscribe. Appreciate you watching. Leave comments below if you've got suggestions or if I got something wrong or anything like that. Oh and last pass doesn't pay me to do this. I did this because I like the software and we recommend it to a lot of our clients. So let's see how reason I create these videos. So there's no, I'm a paid user. I don't get any free subscriptions or anything from last pass. Thanks for watching.
