LastPass quick start guide
What is LastPass?
LastPass is a secure password manager that stores all of your usernames and passwords in one safe place, called a vault.
Your encrypted, secure vault is your central hub of all stored data. After you save a password to your vault, LastPass always remembers it for you. When you need to log in to a website, LastPass enters your username and password for you automatically.
LastPass offers many other features, including:
- Creating strong, secure passwords for you
- Showing you how strong your passwords are
- Storing information such as insurance cards, PIN codes, membership IDs, and much more
- Allowing you to securely share passwords with others
- Filling out addresses and credit card forms that you've stored

How do I use key features of LastPass?
To start using LastPass, add sites and login credentials in your vault so that the next time you log in to a site, LastPass fills the credentials for you. Other than the ability to access sites without having to remember login details, you can also generate secure passwords for your sites, autofill web forms with your address or credit card details when making a payment, securely share sensitive information with other LastPass, and much more.
