Goal: To have an effective and reliable tool for managing and sharing secure passwords for your entire team.

Ideal Outcome: Your business activity will be easier to manage since you will be able to create different passwords for various accounts and manage them from the same place. Also, you will be more effectively protected against hacking.

Pre-requisites or requirements:

N/A

Why this is important: Many people tend to use the same password for all their accounts and, usually, it is something very easy to remember. In other words, you are using insecure passwords which could mean loads of trouble in the future. It is important to have a way of managing these passwords and sharing them with your team members while staying safe from external threats.

Where this is done: LastPass & 3rd party apps (accounts you are signed up to).

When this is done: Once, for your existing accounts and every time you sign up on a new account.

Who does this: You do it. Nobody else can do it for you.

  1. Go to www.lastpass.com

The first task is to create a team account on LastPass. You can either choose a free 14-days trial account or a paid one.

  1. Click here to sign up on LastPass.
  2. Once you have activated your trial (or your paid account), the first thing you need to do is set up a Master Password (don’t get kinky, it’s not about that).

  1. The Master Password should be unique and easy to remember—this will be, essentially, one of the only passwords you will need to remember from now on (LastPass will take care of the rest.) Check out this useful guide to learn how to create a powerful, yet easy to remember password.
  2. After you have set your Master Password, download the LastPass extension for your browser from here.
