About LastPass

• LastPass remembers passwords in your vault and logs you into your online accounts as you work.

• Provides secure methods to store and share Enterprise passwords.

• Promotes the use of long and complex passwords - perform a Security Challenge for feedback on your password strength and tips to improve your passwords.

• Access LastPass with a single Master Password - your Master Password should be strong, unique and memorable. If you forget or lose the password to your LastPass Enterprise account, Griffith or LastPass cannot reset your password.

When to use LastPass

Storing website passwords – Learn how to securely store your enterprise passwords, sites, form fills and secure notes in your last pass vault.

Securely managing and sharing team passwords  – Learn how to share an item (username, password, secure note etc.) with another LastPass user via the Sharing Center.

Keep personal (non-Griffith) passwords separate

We do not recommend storing your personal information in your Griffith Enterprise LastPass account. You can however create a personal LastPass account and link it to your Griffith Enterprise account to keep your password all in one place while both accounts remain separate.

Learn how to link your personal LastPass account to your Griffith Enterprise LastPass account.

Master passwords – what you need to know

With LastPass, you can have one strong "master" password to protect the passwords of all your other accounts.

• You are prompted to create the Master Password when you initially sign up for your LastPass account.

• You will be required to change your master password every 180 days.

When setting a master password you must:

• Create a long, strong master password that is memorable. Consider making a passphrase similar to: 2020TravelMadagascarveryexcited!

• Never share your master password with anyone, including Griffith or LastPass administrators.

• Never use your master password as the password for any other account, including your University account. It should be unique.

• Create at least one master password recovery option (e.g. password hint, SMS).

• Never forget your Master Password.

• Griffith or LastPass can not reset your password or recover any of your stored data. If you forget your password and do not have a recovery option set, we can only delete your account and provision a new account. This configuration is intentional – it ensures that no one else has access to your passwords or private information.
