10 Hacks Every LastPass User Should Know ...Middle East

News by : (Live Hacker) -

If you have one LastPass account for both work and personal use, you can separate relevant items into sub-vaults. When you toggle between them, you'll see only the credentials relevant to that identity, and LastPass will suggest only those items for autofill. This reduces confusion and clutter, especially if you have both personal and professional accounts for the same services. You can also create mini-vaults based on category themes (such as travel or shopping) to organize your data. Go to Advanced options > Add identities on the left-hand navigation and click the Add icon. Name the new identity and drag and drop items into it. Then click Save. You can switch identities from the drop-down under your user account.

Set up custom fields to save PINs and security questions

Add custom field. Add the name in the Field label column, then enter the value in the Field content column and tap Save.

Save. When you're ready to launch, go to Advanced Options in the sidebar of your web vault and hit Open your favorite sites. Each will open in a new tab, and LastPass can autofill credentials if needed.

Use item history to restore old passwords or reverse a lockout

If you need access to important documents like your passport, birth certificate, or medical records when you're away from home, but don't want to store them in the cloud unsecured, you can add them to LastPass. The app encrypts each document, so they're accessible only when your vault is unlocked on your device. Attachments can be up to 10 MB each. (Free users have a total storage limit of 50 MB, while LastPass Premium subscribers get 1 GB.) Select Notes in the navigation bar and tap the Add Item icon. Select Attachments and follow the prompts. LastPass supports a variety of file types, including .pdf, .docx, .jpeg, and .txt.

Whitelist other countries so you can access your vault abroad (or when using a VPN)

General > Show Advanced Settings. Under Security > Country Restriction, check Only allow login from selected countries and select the countries you want to add. Then hit Update, enter your master password, and select Continue.

Set up emergency access to pass down your digital estate

Unlike some password managers, LastPass has an explicit legacy access feature that allows you to will your vault to a trusted contact if you are incapacitated. Once invited, a trusted contact can request access to your vault. If you don't decline the request within a specified wait time, they will receive an Emergency Access folder in their vault containing all of the items in yours. Vault owners can revoke access later, but this is useful if your trusted contact needs to manage financial accounts or have access to other data, even temporarily. In your vault, go to Emergency access in the left navigation menu and open the People I Trust tab. Tap the plus sign and enter your trusted contact's email. (Note that they must also have a LastPass account or create one.) Specify the wait time, then hit Send Invite.

Equivalent Domains > Add new. In the domain field, enter the domain you want to merge, then tap Add.

Add 'Never URLs' to prevent LastPass from autofilling credentials or forms on specific websites

Autofill settings > Never URLs and select Add new. Enter the URL and select the desired action, then hit Save.
