In retaliation, my daughter threatened to hack my computer. She’d be up all night watching the latest episode of Dr. She had developed an Anime habit that was keeping her from doing her schoolwork. At the start of the summer, I made a difficult decision to restrict my daughter’s computer access.
How I lost all of my passwordsĪnd that brings me to my sad tale. If you forget your LastPass login, you lose all of your passwords. In the case of LastPass, if you are using the “free” version, you must remember your master password. Others include 1Password, Keeper and Dashlane.Ĭomputer users like these programs because they never have to worry about remembering their password. When you type in a password, it asks if you want to remember it when you need to recall a password, LastPass offers to fill in the information automatically.
You can install LastPass as a plugin on your browser and download it as an app for your phone. LastPass is a password manager that stores all of your passwords in encrypted form. It’s about the changing nature of computer security and what it means for you. But this story is about more than a “free” app giving me what I paid for (nothing). It turns out I’m far from the only one who’s had a problem with a password manager. That day finally came last week when LastPass surrendered its last password. It stored all of my passwords on my laptop and recalled them securely whenever I needed them.
Master Password recovery is not applicable for UW-Madison LastPass Enterprise accounts using NetID Login.Before passwords got complicated, and before the massive data breaches scared the living daylights out of us, LastPass was the perfect app for remembering my login information. You will need to re-save your passwords and secure notes. This will preserve your LastPass account, but erase the contents of your LastPass Vault. If you have never logged into LastPass via the browser extension, LastPass administrators will not be able to reset your master password and you may need to reset your account ( ).
You must have previously logged into LastPass using the browser extension. (Do not contact the vendor's (LastPass) support team directly as they will not be able to reset your password, only UW-Madison LastPass administrators have this capability) If you are unable to recover your LastPass Master Password using self-service recovery options and you are a UW-Madison LastPass Enterprise user, contact the DoIT Help Desk to request a Master Password reset. In most cases a UW-Madison LastPass administrator can reset the master password for your LastPass Enterprise account.
