Do you struggle with remembering all of your usernames and passwords? End the struggle by enrolling in LastPass Premium. This free-to-use password manager is available to anyone with an active UW–Madison email address. LastPass Premium provides a secure, convenient, easy to use platform to store your usernames and passwords for all your academic and personal accounts (e.g. school, banking, shopping, social media sites, etc.).
Here are just a few benefits that LastPass Premium provides:
- Helps identify, eliminate, and prevent password reuse through its Security Dashboard.
- Provides alerts on compromised passwords through Dark Web Monitoring.
- Makes it easy to create random and unique passwords for any website you visit.
- Helps you change your passwords.
- Reduces the need to memorize credentials (usernames and passwords).
- Works across multiple platforms and devices including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.
- Syncs your logins, websites, secure notes, payment information, and any other secrets you want to keep in LastPass across all your devices, everywhere you go.
- Integrates with your web and mobile browsers to provide autofill functionality. Autofill reduces the need to memorize passwords, reduces copying and pasting of passwords, reduces time spent filling out online forms, and reduces the risk of multiple cyberattacks including phishing, credential stuffing, keylogging, and shoulder surfing.
- Provides the ability to securely share credentials with other personal LastPass users.
- Includes the ability to set up emergency access for a family member.
Please Note: LastPass Premium accounts are not supported by UW–Madison (meaning you need to contact LastPass (LogMeIn) for support).
