LastPass has released its own free two-factor authenticator app for Android and iOS. Two-factor authentication goes beyond passwords to add another layer of protection to your account, making it easier than ever to use two-factor authentication and boost your security.
The app allows you to set up and configure multiple accounts for more secured access, including your LastPass vault. The app supports 6-digit generated passcodes, SMS codes & automated push notifications for one-tap login and you can enable LastPass Authenticator anywhere Google Authenticator is supported too.
Once you pair the app with your LastPass account, you can enjoy one-tap login for instant authentication to your vault.
You can also mark a device as “trusted”, so you won’t be prompted for codes on that device but your account will still be protected with two-factor authentication.
