Just started using Last Pass... tips?

Okay after resisting for months. I have just started using Last Pass. Any tips?

 

You can turn up the PBKDF2 rounds in LastPass to 256,000. I would try increasing by 5,000 at a time until logging in takes as long as you can stand.

 

Enable two-factor authentication. Use one-time passwords (or maybe on-screen keyboard) for public computers. Tweak password generator to as secure as you want. Remember all the essential passwords.

 

Use at least 24 character passwords (a mixture numbers, special characters and upper- and lower-case letters) whenever sites will allow it.

 

Yes, two factor authentication is essential since it will keep the account safe even if the master password is discovered. I use Google Authenticator on my Android phone - couldn't be easier.

 

Can't seem to find that option...

I too use 2 FA. Highly recommended!

 

I use the grid, basically it will ask you 4 locations on this small grid. It's like playing battleship but very secure and easy to use. You can keep the grid on a piece of paper in your wallet. I've used sesame before too but in the future I will go the Yubikey route.

 

I used Sesame for a while and it worked OK, but of course I had to keep track of the flash drive. Since I'm is carrying a smartphone anyway Google Authenticator makes more sense plus it's supported in the free version of LP. Do you feel the Yubikey has some advantage?

 

Thanks guys. I will use the grid since it's free.

 

Why so high? Wouldn't 100k be enough?
