If you're anything like me, you'll find remembering passwords and nightmare as the need for more complex and very passwords increases the harder they are
to remember. And some people will even opt to write all these down in a notebook or on their mobile phones
with last pass. Once you save and add a password, you'll always have it whenever you need it
So logging in is fast and easy and you're secure it all with a master password
which will be the only password that you'll hopefully ever need to remember
Last past can help you to generate more secure passwords for ones that you've previously created and you can add payment cards and addresses in
there too so that you can simply fill all your payment and shipping details in when you're shopping online
Another feature that I'm gonna be showing you, which I personally think is great. It's something called emergency access
This is where you can allow trusted friends and family access to your last pass account and therefore all your passwords and this is just
in the case of the event of an emergency or a crisis
Last pass is available as an extension across a multitude of browsers such as chrome Firefox Safari or Brave
It's also available as an app on the iphone or Android so that you only have to save a password once and then you can
use it across all your different types of devices
And there's a free subscription that comes with a 30 day trial of their premium plan and then you can choose to upgrade to paid
memberships with a couple of different payment plans. Now, I personally signed up with a family plan on my personal account between my partner and
I. We have lots of accounts and passwords between our business youtube channel and crypto currencies
which we struggled to keep track of. So it's great that we can both access the site also allowing access to others in case something
did go wrong now to sign up. Please feel free to use my link in the summary below and what I'm going to do now
is I'm just gonna go through and start creating an account. So if I click on to get last past three
what they need to do is add in my email address
entering a master password. Now, this does have to be quite complex with lots of different requirements in here
And because this password isn't stored by last past, what you might want to do is put in a reminder in case you ever need
to restore your account and then click on to sign up it's free
And once your account has been created, you'll then be prompted to download the extension
If you use more than one browser, you'll need to download the extension to each different one so that you can sync last pass across
all your different types of browsers
And as you can see last passes now appearing in my toolbar, now it's actually appearing in black at the moment and that's because I've
not logged in. So when you are not logged in, it's kind of this gray black color
And when it's red, it's working
Now, if you've got a Mac, you can also download the app from the app store
This is just so that you can easily access last pass when you're not necessarily connected to the internet
And if you're stalling on an iphone or an Android, you'll need to make sure that you follow this additional step
So if you go across to your settings on your phone, I go down to passwords and accounts
press on auto fill passwords
and then you need to make sure that it's switched on and that last pass is checked
Now, what I'm gonna do is just log into my account
And from here you have the option for the chrome extension to remember your email and also remember your password
So obviously, if you're using this in a kind of a shared environment on a shared computer
you won't actually want to ensure that you remember the password as someone else could then get access to all of this
However, if you're just using on your own personal machine, and you don't want to have to enter in that master password every time you
can obviously tick that box. I'm just gonna go ahead and click on to log in
and as you can see it then comes up with it, let's get started. I'm just gonna click on to remind me later
but you can see that this is now appearing as a red icon on my toolbar
So now let's just open up our vault
now to start actually adding passwords into last pass, you can do this manually
which I'm going to take you through shortly. Or alternatively, if you already have a password manager
you can import them across to save you having to do these individually. The way that you do that is if you head over to
the bottom section here and go to more options
then go to advanced
and then go to import
from. Here is all the available sources that you can import across. Now
if your option isn't in the list, you may need to add your password in manually
So how do we start adding in your passwords? Well, the first thing you want to do is navigate over to the site that you
want to start adding in. Now, in this example, I'm going to use Twitter
And at the moment, you can see you've got the last pass icon appearing within my password
Now, the reason why that's not showing up as red is that it doesn't currently know what to do with this section here
So at the moment, I haven't saved my password in there so it can't find anything to do
So, what I'm gonna do is simply log into my site
and it's now asking me whether or not I'd like to add this account into last pass
So what I'm gonna do is click on to add
and it states that it's all set. So we'll just head over to our vault
and we can now see that Twitter is now appearing within our all items or also appearing under our passwords
Now, at this point, you may want to change your password from something that you mainly created a little while ago to something that's slightly
more secure, made up of random characters, numbers and symbols. So there's a couple of different ways that you can do this
The first way is if we go onto Twitter here and you click onto this little icon here that it's a bit like a Spanner
And from here you can auto change your password
So in here, it will attempt to change your password to a strong generated password and save it to your vault
Now, just to make you aware, this hasn't actually worked for me every single time on every single site
However, there is another way that we can go ahead and change our password to something more secure
and within Twitter, is it if I go to actually change my password
what it will do is ask me to enter in my current password. Now, I can actually use last pass to enter in this information
by right clicking, going down to the last pass, go to Twitter and fill
So because I have that information over the last pass, it will fill in my current password
Now, if I want to generate a new secure password, I can click on this little icon here
And from here, I can generate a new password. Now, if I just click on to show options
on here, I can increase the password length so that it's more characters or I can select it to be easy to say
easy to read all characters. And I can also include symbols in here as well
Now, one thing to mention is if you are always going to be automatically filling in these passwords online
Then by sure, make this as complex as you like. However, if you are at some point going to have to manually enter in these
passwords, then it's worth making this something a little bit more simple
What I'm just going to do now is click on to fill password
and it will then automatically fill my new password and confirm my password
And at the same time, it's now coming up asking me whether or not I want to update my password into last pass
So I'm gonna click on to update
and you could then go away and repeat this process across all your different types of accounts
Now, just heading back to the vault within the vault, obviously, we've been looking at passwords
However, you also have the ability to create secure notes and you can create folders within these notes as well and just simply type these
in
you also have the ability to enter in addresses. So with regards to addresses
this is so that when you're going into things like shopping sites or anything that asks you for your personal address
it will automatically fill that information in online. Now, we'll just have a look at payment cards
and what we'll do is we'll add in a payment card. So I'm gonna click onto the item in the bottom right hand corner here
Now, once you've entered in all your information, you don't have this note section in here as well
Now, this is really handy for me personally. I do travel around quite a lot
So in here I could put in something like lost or stolen card, telephone number that I would need to contact just so that I
have everything all in one place just in case of any kind of eventuality like that
So that car has now been added in its peering under my payment cards. What I'm now going to do is head over to a
site where I'm actually gonna be paying for something online
Then when you're ready to pay for something online. And in this example, I'm gonna be using the online travel company traveler dot com
If you click onto the icon beside the card number details
it will then show that newly created payment card and I can simply click on to fill
click onto okay. And that information will then automatically populate into here
So that's really great that you don't have to have the card physically with you to pay for something online
And I'm just going to head back into my vault
and you can do exactly the same thing with your bank accounts in here as well
Then one of the really great features is the emergency access section in here
You can allow other people access to your accounts as it says in case of an emergency
So the first thing you see is people I trust and people who trust me
Now, if you want to add in a contact, what you want to do is click onto the icon in the bottom right hand corner
And then here you can type in their email address. Now, the next thing you're asked for is a wait time
So wait time is if my emergency contact request access to my account
it will send me an email and a timer starts. And I have, and in this example
I have 48 hours to respond. And if I don't, then they will have access into my account
So you can choose whatever timeframe you like from this drop down
and then you would simply click across to send your invite across
So that was my walkthrough of last pass, a password manager that remember all your passwords
So you don't have to, I think it's a pretty good system in the fact that you don't actually have to remember all these passwords
and you can make those passwords that you use online even more complex
I really like the emergency access feature. It's really handy to know that in case anything went wrong with me personally
someone else would be able to access my account and just get access to the different types of online systems that I use
