Do you use LastPass password manager? LastPass security breach
Personal information and encrypted data was stolen from LastPass. If you have a weak LastPass master password, you are at some slight risk of your vault information being compromised, so you should begin changing passwords. Vaults protected by strong master passwords remain secure. You don’t need to leave LastPass, but it’s understandable that you might. Do not avoid password vaults completely, however; choose an appropriate replacement instead.
If your LastPass master password was appropriately strong, you don’t need to do anything. The contents of your password vault are not at significant risk.
If your LastPass master password is not appropriately strong, consider changing the passwords of all “important” accounts stored in your vault as soon as possible, and all accounts eventually.
Appropriately strong master password:
12 characters (ideally longer)
A mix of character types (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, symbols)
Memorable, but not easily guessed
Unique: it’s only used as your master password
