Then there’s always some security disaster making us have to reset our passwords again. Making them, remembering them and having to create a new one when they expire when all you want to do is log in. Password management is basically a nightmare.

Of course, we seldom find out about these breaches until it’s too late, which is why us security nerds are always annoying you by saying “don’t reuse passwords” until you mute or report us for pestering you. It’s almost always the result of re-using a password that you’ve used somewhere else, which was then exposed in a breach or hack attack on a different company. The most common way account takeovers happen isn’t some kind of hacker-magic mystery.

Not only do you lose your connections and access to communication and community, but recovering anything with most companies is a nightmare.

The last thing anyone needs right now is to have their Zoom, Twitter, Skype, Nest, or any vital account hijacked and stolen. Update : We’ve updated our guide with details about the changes coming to the free version of LastPass in March 2021.
