LastPass Partners with ExpressVPN to enhance users security online

 

As unprecedented cyber threats continue to unfold, internet users are continuously looking for better ways to stay safe online. The partnership between ExpressVPN and LastPass is an effort to complement the security and privacy of their respective products, thus enhancing online safety for their users.

 

ExpressVPN is one of the biggest names among consumer VPN services, encrypting users’ online activity and protecting their data from prying eyes. LastPass, on the other hand, is a market-leading password management solution.

 

In this partnership, the VPN firm will offer a 30-day free trial of their VPN solution to all new and existing LastPass Premium and Families subscribers. Let’s see how each service helps users stay secure and how you can maximize both pieces of software.

 

Benefits of VPNs

 

Encrypts data

When you connect to a VPN, your online activities go through an encrypted tunnel that no third-party can see, not even the Internet Service Provider. Even if a criminal manages to hack your online communications, all they will see is encrypted data by the app. This is especially important when using public Wi-Fi as it’s a notorious hotbed for hackers.

 

Privacy

A VPN also replaces your IP address with that of a VPN server, thus allowing you to protect your identity and browse the web privately. This feature also helps users overcome geo-restrictions. By using a VPN server of another location, you will be able to access content specific to a particular region.

 

Benefits of Password Managers

 

 

Remembering every password you create can be difficult, which often leads to people using the same password for multiple accounts. This is very dangerous as it only makes it easy for cybercriminals to hack multiple accounts. This is where a password manager comes in, to store all your passwords in a single account.  You’ll only need to remember the master password to your vault, and from there you can access all your other passwords. Other benefits include:

 

Stronger passwords

Password managers usually feature password generators that allow users to create strong passwords. Unlike average passwords, these are not easily hackable as they are long and contain a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Since you don’t have to remember passwords, you can create a different password for every account.

 

Fast access

This software stores passwords by what account they belong to, making it easier to find a password. You can also install a browser extension that allows you to auto-fill in passwords while still storing them securely.

 

Conclusion

 

ExpressVPN and LastPass are both leaders in the consumer security industry and their collaboration is bound to enhance their users’ online security.

 

Despite the rising popularity of VPNs and password managers, people still don’t seem to take advantage of their features to stay safe online. The ExpressVPN and LastPass partnership will change that as the two look to raise awareness about the benefits of using a VPN and password manager together to enhance cybersecurity.
