Enable 2FA for LastPass
Sign in to your LastPass account and click the Settings button from the Actions list at the left of the control panel.
An Edit Settings window will pop up. Click the Security Tab and then click “Print your Grid”.
LastPass will take you to a page with a number-by-letter grid. This grid is unique to your account and can only be used by you. Right click the page and select Print.
If you’re using Chrome you can change the Destination to a PDF or just print it out on a piece of paper. Then make sure you put this grid somewhere that’s secure where you won’t lose it. Personally I chose to create a PDF of mine and email it to myself using my Gmail account which has Two Factor security enabled as well.
Once you’re sure that you have your grid saved somewhere safe. Check the “Grid Multifactor Authentication” box and then click OK in the warning window that appears.
At the bottom of the page save changes by clicking Update. Then confirm changes by entering your Master Password.
Now when you sign in to your LastPass account, it will require using numbers and letters from the grid. The log in process will look normal up until after you enter your username and password. After that it will prompt you to enter four digits that can be found only by using the grid unique to your account.
Now your LastPass account is significantly more secure than it would be without the grid. Even if someone accesses your password and email address to log in, they still won’t be able to hijack your account unless they have the grid too. Groovy! Comment
