Password Manager App, LastPass, Discloses Breach

TechnologyLastPass is a well-known password manager which offers users a central place to store passwords and helps make passwords more secure. However, they lost email addresses and password reminders in a recent breach of their databases by hackers.

If you use a password manager and your account is compromised, it opens up vulnerabilities for every site where you use it.
