LastPass Drop-In Clinic

Strong and secure passwords are a critical part of UCOP’s “Security First” posture. More than 40 percent of companies experiencing a breach do so because of a bad password, and the average person reuses a password 14 times!

Here is what you can do to fight back:

• Create long passwords with a variety of letters, numbers and characters, and change them periodically
• Create passwords that are not easily guessed and are not tied to personal information
• Use a different password for every unique login
• Use a Password Manager: LastPass will be available to you on Tuesday, August 2, 2022!

What you need to do:

You will receive an activation email from LastPass.  This will be an external email that looks like the screenshot below.  Please activate LastPass as soon as you receive this email.  If you do not receive an activation email by end of day Tuesday, please contact ServiceDesk@ucop.edu.
