How to Sign Up for a LastPass Account

Since we are using so many applications and services nowadays, it will be difficult to remember the password assigned for each one. So using a password vault like LastPass would be the ideal choice to save all required passwords in a secured way. To save your password on LastPass, you need to sign up for an account with the existing email address.

Apart from saving passwords, LastPass also functions as a generator. It means it will generate a strong password to use on each site.

How to Create a LastPass Account

[1] Visit this account creation page or visit the LastPass website on any browser and hover & and click on the “Get LastPass Free” link.

[2] Enter your email address and create a master password for your account. The password must be 12 characters long with 1 number, one lowercase letter, and one uppercase letter. At the same time, don’t include the email address in the master password.

Add Multifactor Authentication to Your LastPass Account

Enabling multifactor authentication will add a layer of security to your account.
