"LastPass: Strengthen Your Passwords with 'Horse Gone Barn Bolted' - Krebs on Security"

LastPass is now requiring some users to choose longer master passwords as part of their latest security improvements. However, critics argue that this move is merely a public relations stunt and will not help those whose password vaults were exposed in a 2022 breach. LastPass failed to upgrade many older customers to more secure encryption protections, leaving them vulnerable to offline attacks. The changes implemented by LastPass are not designed to address already stolen vaults, and experts recommend affected users change all their passwords.
