A general requirement in the World Wide Web which gives the users privacy is to have a password, and this protects their accounts to be confidential, and the same getting hacked with login information becomes the worst nightmare.

LatePass stands as one of the popular password storing services gave a statement that they may have been hacked, and they are notifying the users to change what its marketing has been touting as the last password you’ll ever need, LastPass, which maintains passwords and reproduces users’ personal info for online forms by integrating with their computer or mobile Web browser, is in a state whether its database of master passwords for user accounts has been breached.

Sources informed that the company had seen some anomalies in data traffic to and from its servers that it couldn’t explain. However the possible clarification was a data breach, company’s CEO Joe Siegrist has stated that we’re going to be paranoid and think about the worst and that is nothing but the data we stored in the database was somehow accessed, and they also added that not everyone in LastPass might be at risk, whoever has a strong password shouldn’t have an impact.

First steps taken by LastPass is all the users to change the master passwords as a security measure, and because of this their system went off low with speeds, as a counter step they are verifying users e-mail addresses, and once it is done LastPass Users can hang on for few days to change their master passwords.
