Generate temporary one-time passwords for LastPass

    You can generate a list of one-time passwords (OTPs) so they can be used whenever needed.

    CAUTION: Changing or resetting your master password will invalidate all one-time passwords that you generated before the change occurred (as it requires your vault to be re-encrypted). This means that you will need to generate new OTPs after a master password change, as all OTPs you generated previously will no longer be listed.
    1. Log in to LastPass and access your vault by doing either of the following:
      • In your web browser toolbar, click the LastPass icon active LastPass icon and select Vault or Open My Vault.
      • Go to https://lastpass.com/?ac=1 and log in with your email address and master password.
    2. Select Advanced Options in the left navigation.
    3. Select Manage one-time passwords.
    4. Enter your master password, then click OK to continue.
    5. Click Generate a one-time password.
    6. Enter your master password, then click OK.

      Result: A new one-time password is generated and displayed in the lower navigation.

    7. Repeat Steps #5–6 as many times as desired to generate a list of one-time passwords.
    Results: You have successfully generated as many one-time passwords as desired.
    Tip: You can click Print and store your list of one-time passwords in a safe place, crossing them off as you use them. Alternatively, you can click Print and save as a text file that you can update as you generate new one-time passwords.
