A security incident reported by LastPass earlier this month lit an alert on its users and the community in general.
In a few lines email, the company warned users that a third party application had gained undue access to one of its cloud storage services that was used to store backups of the service.
On the 22nd, the company admitted to note that encrypted safes that store user passwords were taken at the time of the security breach. An email was also sent on the 23rd to all its users, explaining the situation.
LastPass is a well-known password manager, and for years it has been indicated as the best service in the segment, much because of its usability and trust, the latter shaken by the way the company conducted the case, taking too long to disclose further details about the incident.
As a former user of LastPass, my recommendation is to migrate to another alternative (In my case, the BitWarden) and exchange the passwords of the most sensitive services.
Migration is a laborious process and requires a little attention. In LastPass, you can export your entire safe into a CSV file. For this, just click "Advanced Options" and then "Export".
