LastPass hacked

I changed my Lastpass password as a precaution, the email they sent me said I didn't need to change my password unless they contacted me and told me to.

You can also print out a grid that you can use in place of a phone app.

It was expected, will happen again.

The really dangerous thing, is they truly cannot tell everything that happened, so they tell folks the happy story, that your data is safe.

I'll keep using a local encrypted password manager that I can copy and carry on a thumb drive within an encrypted file.

And I'll still be worried
