LastPass Sentry – Even More Password Protection
While this is a couple of months old I thought I would share this anyway as I thought this was a really neat feature.
If you use LastPass as your password manager across your browsers you can execute a check of your account credentials through use of the LastPass Security Challenge. It will scan all of the credentials for breaches against known lists and alert you if there are any problems that require attention. This would be as straightforward as changing the password for the affected service and you could use the handy random password generator within LastPass to finish the job.
It can be hard to keep track of security breaches particularly when individual services may be coy or mute when it comes to owning up to a security incident so it is a good idea to check every so often.

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).
I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.
I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.
