All encryption/decryption occurs locally on your devices, not on LastPass' servers. The Master Password is never sent to LastPass. Your encryption keys are created from your Master Password. Your encrypted data is unreadable to LastPass and to everyone else without the Master Password.įor more information on LastPass' architecture, check out this security overview document. LastPass uses the same encryption algorithm that the U.S. No one, including Princeton or LastPass can access your passwords.

LastPass uses strong encryption to make sure that the only way to access your passwords is to use the master password. You can access LastPass from the University, from home, or through the app. You don’t have to remember them all, just remember your master password, and let LastPass remember the rest. Use LastPass' password generator to create long, complex passwords for your accounts. With LastPass, you use one strong “master” password to protect the passwords of all your other accounts. For students, Princeton provides LastPass Premium. For faculty and staff, Princeton provides LastPass Enterprise (for University business), LastPass Premium or Families (for personal use). Everyone knows you should use strong passwords and not reuse them, but with so many accounts how do you keep track? Security professionals recommend using a password manager to create, store, and manage strong, unique passwords for all your accounts.
