LastPass, the password management service<\/strong>, has decided to take a new step to strengthen user security, but in this case, the obligation will fall on the user, who will have to create a master password with a minimum of 12 characters<\/strong> to keep active passwords in their account safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a measure that, in line with the growing risks and attacks of the current digital world, aims to increase user protection<\/strong>. In this case, it is something simpler that requires user commitment, but it is still a useful and effective measure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

12-character master passwords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As LastPass has stated through its corporate blog<\/a>, 12-character master passwords will be mandatory<\/strong> for all LastPass account users. Through this change, the company makes clear its intention to enhance the security of each and every active account<\/strong> within its systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LastPass suffered a 2022 attack that compromised user data<\/strong>, so despite being a security service, it can also<\/strong> have its risks<\/strong>, like practically any other online service. However, this does not prevent this service from being very useful and that there are even various platforms of this type, such as ProtonPass<\/a>, which also allows you to manage passwords securely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crucial user security on the web<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important for the average user to always keep in mind that, in this 2024, security is once again one of the fundamental pillars<\/strong> on which not only every product or service offered on the internet is built, but also personal habits, which are crucial to have good cybersecurity<\/a>. Habits are as important as cybersecurity itself<\/strong>, and that is why practices such as periodically changing passwords or using two-step verification systems exponentially increase the security of those who use them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies are also aware of this<\/strong>, and that is why it is increasingly common for all types of accounts, especially those that move money through them, to have security systems verify<\/strong> not only that the user is giving their consent to perform a transaction, but also that they are operating on a reliable website<\/strong>, although this area still needs significant improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n
