Even under this most extreme test, our systems performed as designed and protected the encrypted vault data of our users; furthering our conviction and commitment to our 'zero knowledge' security model in which LastPass never has your master password or access to the data within your vault. When the incident was discovered, we immediately took steps to detect the network breach, adding the requirement of two-step verification for all users within 1 hour of detecting the breach.
While a security incident is not ideal for any company, the incident was quickly remediated, our product strengthened because of it and we are proud to have a strong track record of transparency with our community. LastPass operates on a zero-knowledge security model.
We utilize industry best practices to protect our infrastructure, including regularly upgrading our systems, as well as utilizing redundant data centers to reduce the risk of downtime or a single-point-of-failure. LastPass is market-tested by over 43, companies, including Fortune and leading tech enterprises. LastPass values transparency in its incident response procedures.
Our team reacts swiftly to reports of bugs or vulnerabilities and communicates openly with our community. Communication with users will depend on the incident and those of the highest priority will include emails, blog posts, and social posts. It goes without saying that security is fundamental to what we do. As an industry best practice, LastPass conducts at least one annual pen test to help us strengthen our product and demonstrate the security of LastPass as vetted by a reputable 3rd party.
We also participate in a bug bounty program, called BugCrowd, where white-hat researchers responsibly disclose bugs so we can improve the product and further harden it against attacks. As the first password manager to offer a bug bounty program, LastPass has built long-standing relationships with many researchers around the world, which only serves to benefit our customers. We welcome contributions from all researchers via our bug bounty program.
In addition to a laser focus on our own security, we also report on data breaches that occur to other companies in an effort to keep our community informed and protected. As a leader in password security, we want to ensure individuals and business clearly understand the impact of third-party data breaches and what steps they must take to mitigate risks for themselves.

Senior writer Twitter. Could you cope? Prepare for disaster with backups. The LastPass online password storage service went down one day for several hours and many people were unable to access it. This in turn meant that they could not access websites and online services because the passwords were unavailable. It was a disaster for many people, but not for everyone because some had prepared and had backups. What if it was only temporary, but you desperately needed to access a site or service, such as your online bank to pay a bill?
It is possible that you could have been charged a late payment fee, all because LastPass went down. It is worth remembering that when data is stored in just one location that it is vulnerable. One failure can be a disaster and this is why we have backups. Those people that back up their passwords and other login details were probably only slightly inconvenienced by the loss of the LastPass service.
