Free authenticator app generating timed one-time passwords for two-factor authentication, working together with LastPass password manager for added security.
LastPass Authenticator is a free mobile app that works as a two-factor authentication solution to generate timed one-time passwords. It integrates with the LastPass password manager to provide an extra layer of security when logging into accounts and services.
When enabled, after entering your master password into LastPass, it will prompt you to open the LastPass Authenticator app and enter the one-time password displayed. This adds an additional step to verify your identity beyond just knowing the master password.
LastPass Authenticator generates time-based one-time use codes that update every 30 seconds. Even if your master password is compromised, without also having access to the authenticator app on your mobile device, an attacker cannot login. This protects against phishing attempts.
The app itself has encrypted local storage and backups can be created to reconfigure it if you get a new mobile device. As it's tied to your LastPass account, the authenticator seamlessly works across multiple devices. Overall, LastPass Authenticatorintegrates nicely for users already relying on LastPass for password management.
