"LastPass Enforces 12-Character Minimum After Security Breach Impacts Millions"

LastPass is enforcing a new security measure that requires users to set a stronger master password of at least 12 characters, including a special character, a number, and an uppercase letter. This move comes as a response to evolving cyber threats and follows a significant data breach in 2022 where hackers accessed sensitive user data. The company has already been applying this standard to new users or those resetting their passwords since last year, but now it's extending the requirement to all users to enhance the encryption keys for their vault data.
