[QUOTE="piquiteco, post: 1016917, member: 96829"] For those of you who use Lastpass and saw this news, don't panic because of this icident. If you are worried that your data was stolen even though you know it is encrypted and you are thinking about it, then activate the two-step verification (2FA) on the most important and sensitive accounts little by little, then slowly activate it on the other accounts. Remember to backup the keys that generate the tokens or QRCODES and keep them in a safe place and backup them in several different places as a precaution, generate the alternate backup codes as well and save them in a safe place, one day you may need them in the future. Regarding your master password, I recommend you not to use a common password like this [SPOILER="Password Master"]jL47F4xbTY-o+u&vqeeGuUg.yQBjBJGp*gN@[/SPOILER] because this kind of password you can forget, a human being will have difficulty memorizing passwords like this, even if you do, a sophisticated computer with modern GPUs or maybe even a quantum computer, they can crack them in a matter of days, hours, minutes or maybe in seconds.
