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.

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.
