“People most often use LastPass as a browser extension; however, most RMM tools by default can identify LastPass only as an installed application, which gives IT teams a false sense of a low LastPass adoption within their users,” said Mike Walters, VP of Vulnerability and Threat Research at Action1. “Bearing in mind the susceptibility of most people to poor password practices, IT teams should explore their organization’s exposure to risk more thoroughly by identifying all installed LastPass browser extensions and working with vulnerable users to enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on their accounts and resetting their master passwords if needed.”
