LastPass Sesame1.75.0

LastPass Sesame is a straightforward piece of software designed to improve the security of your LastPass vaults by enabling two-factor authentication on untrusted computers. It features intuitive options that can be configured with ease, even by users without previous experience with this protection method.

Two-factor authentication for LastPass accounts using a USB flash drive

Installing this program isn't necessary since you can double-click the downloaded .exe to reach the main window right away. Also, there are no special software requirements involved, like .NET Framework. In fact, Sesame is specially designed for USB flash drives, enabling you to launch it on any machine without installation and log into your LastPass account using both your master password (first step) and USB device (second step of authentication).This way, you can make sure that no one can get access to your vault even if they get hold of your master password, because login will not work without the USB drive inserted into the PC.

Gain access to your LastPass vault using both a password and thumb drive

To be able to use this tool, you must have a LastPass account, log in with the username and master password, enable Sesame authentication, then visit your email account to confirm the LastPass login on a new computer, previously unused for this software.Sesame can be used to protect you from keyloggers attempting to hijack your computer by monitoring your keyboard activity to try and find the correct master password for LastPass, as well as from other types of spyware. In addition, you can allow or deny access to your vault from mobile devices or when you're not connected to the Internet.Furthermore, it's possible to generate one-time passwords for your account, add more LastPass accounts to produce extra one-time passwords, edit these properties, as well as copy the offline key.

Intuitive and powerful tool for securing LastPass vaults

All aspects considered, LastPass Sesame is an easy-to-use, yet powerful software utility to help you add a second layer of protection to your LastPass vault by enabling two-step authentication with a USB thumb drive. Besides Windows, it's available for Mac and Linux.
