LastPass offering new security features for account logins


We have seen a major increase in the number of online services that are being attacked by hackers to steal user information.

LastPass is one of the most popular login/password management services out there and it has become very important for them to be sure that their own platform is secure.

The company already offers two factor authentication using the Google Authenticator technology.

They have now added two new optional settings for their users to enhance the account security.

Users can now specific a list of countries that are allowed to access their account. This is not much useful as this restriction can be bypassed using proxies and VPNs.

LastPass spoke about these two new features:

At LastPass, we’re always thinking of ways to better protect users and offer security options that allow users more fine-grained control over the protection of their stored data. That’s why we’ve added two new security options now available to LastPass users in the account settings dialog, which can be opened from the LastPass vault: the ability to restrict logins to selected countries and to disable access from TOR.
