LastPass Multifactor Authentication

We recommend setting up multifactor (two-factor, two-step) authentication to add an extra layer of security to logging onto LastPass. Go here for more information about LastPass Multifactor Authentication.

To set up Multifactor Authentication:

1. Navigate to your LastPass Vault and go to Account Settings.

2. Select Multifactor Options, and select the pencil icon under Action for the Multifactor authenticator application (such as Google Authenticator) you’d like to use.
