V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Flaws found in LastPass password manager by security researchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 But, as Vigo and Garcia note, LastPass may not be the only password manager with vulnerabilities, and its development team have at least responded to the findings in what seems to be a responsible and timely manner: We found a number of bugs, bad practices and design issues and used them to obtain the vault key and decrypt all passwords in different scenarios. There is no bug-free software and any future research on other password managers would likely have similar results. LastPass has responded and fixed most of the issues in less than 72 hours. "We want to point out that the security team at LastPass responded very quickly to all our reports and lot of the issues were fixed in just a couple days," the pair explain. "It was very easy to communicate and work with them." They seem like a decent bunch at LastPass an they look to have moved very quickly to sort out the vulnerabilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Since I'm using the current version in my Chromium browser, I'd have to assume that my extension auto-updated for me. https://lastpass.com/upgrade.php?fromwebsite=1&releasenotes=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looks like the last Firefox update was Aug 6th and the last IE update July 28. https://lastpass.com/upgrade.php?fromwebsite=1&releasenotes=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Uninstall and reinstall if you did not get the current versions. Or just install over the existing one. I always get mine directly from https://lastpass.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
