Phishing isn’t going away, especially in the enterprise. GenAI has made it easier to spin up realistic scams with voice matching, etc. MFA codes aren’t perfect if you end up handing them over. Coinbase reported a massive loss of customer data, and that has created a whole host of problems. That’s why what Dashlane just announced is very timely, because it takes phishing off the table completely. Dashlane’s latest update brings us a big step closer to a world where phishing just doesn’t work. Dashlane is now letting customers unlock their vaults with FIDO2 security keys like a YubiKey or Google Titan Key instead of a “master password”.

LastPass matches Dashlane with automated password changing – but it doesn’t yet fully compete

After password manager Dashlane grabbed the limelight yesterday with an automated password changer for 50 top US websites, LastPass has hit back with its own version of the same feature. However, while LastPass supports more sites, it falls short of the Dashlane offering by forcing you to change one password at a time, rather than doing all supported sites en-mass, and not yet supporting sites that employ two-factor authentication.

We’re excited to announce that the Auto-Password Change feature we released to our Pre-Build Team last week is now available for all users in beta. LastPass can now change passwords for you, automatically. We’re releasing this feature for free to all our users, on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox (starting with version 3.1.70) […]

Auto-Password Change already supports 75 of the most popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Pinterest, Home Depot, and Dropbox.

LastPass notes that it does this while maintaining its secure approach of ensuring that only encrypted versions of the password are ever stored on the LastPass server, with the apps doing the decrypting on your device.

You can download the beta from the LastPass download site. If you’re not yet using a password manager, check out out our how-to guide.

Password managers are a great way to have strong, unique passwords for each website you access – but vital as it is these days, there’s no denying that it’s a chore to change them. Dashlane, a Mac and Windows password manager app, aims to take away the pain by doing it for you automatically across 50 top US websites like Apple, Amazon, Dropbox, Facebook, PayPal, WordPress and Twitter.

Importantly, the app can even cope with sites that employ two-factor authentication to login or change a password, prompting you for the code when required …
