LastPass 0day – Daily Security Byte

August 3, 2016 By Corey Nachreiner

One of the best ways to improve your password security is to use a password manager. How else will you humanly remember different, long and random passwords for every place you visit? That said, the one problem with password managers is all your eggs are in that one basket. If there’s a hole in your password vault, attackers have the keys to all your kingdoms. In today’s video I warn you of some vulnerabilities that put a pretty big hole in a popular password manager.

Show note: Please excuse the weird audio replacement in this video. I recorded the whole thing saying another popular password manager and did not edit until I was away from my recording studio.
