LastPass - How Safe is LastPass Enterprise?

1Password is replacing LastPass as UW-Madison's supported Password Manager. 1Password was selected for its intuitive user-friendly interface, robust set of features, and excellent track record in safeguarding sensitive data.
Current LastPass users are being invited to 1Password starting in December 2024. LastPass will remain active until May 2025. For more information and updates, refer to the transition FAQ: 1Password - LastPass Transition FAQs

LastPass Security Measures

LastPass uses the same encryption algorithm that the U.S. Government, military, and banks use to protect data. Your encrypted data is stored locally and is unreadable to LastPass and to everyone else without your Master Password/NetID Login credentials.

For more information on LastPass' architecture, check out this LastPass security overview document.
