Basic service information is on the LTS website. LastPass is available as a browser extension and a mobile device app, enabling use across many platforms. LastPass is a web-based password management tool that can create and store secure passwords in a fully-encrypted environment. Lehigh University has partnered with LastPass to supply their commercial password management tools to students, faculty, and staff. Additional information will be distributed by Email and posted to the LTS website. Enrollment will be suspended while LTS collects additional information about the breach and reevaluates our relationship with LastPass. There are also those from the likes of Google's and Apple's built in password managers.LastPass Enrollment is Currently Disabled After recent announcements from LastPass regarding the breach of encrypted customer password vaults, Library and Technology Services has suspended new Lehigh LastPass enrollment effective January 3rd, 2023.
I've decided to look more into Mozillas free password manager. It feels shady and left a bad taste in my mouth towards their software and brand. Essentially they trapped people into using the free version, and are forcing people to pay to now use on multiple devices.
The smarter way (to strengthen, and not harm their brand), would have been to all along offer a freemium version and offer other extra features that a small percentage of all users are willing to pay for. So to me, it feels like a bait and switch, where they had this planned all along.
I'm not against paying for services, but I don't like how they pulled the rug out of everyone who relied on the free version, where they get so used to the software as apart of their daily life, that it forces many to just pay the fee (many of whom would likely have never signed up in the first place if it were not free). After they changed their pricing model to pay for a subscription I decided to see if there were any other great password managers out there. I loved using LastPass, and had been using it for over a year.
