Manage Your Master Password Reminder

When you created your account and set up your Master Password, you were given the option of creating a password hint. If you want to create a new password hint/reminder, you will need to change your Master Password to set a new hint or update an existing hint.

View your Master Password Reminder

  1. Log in to LastPass and access your Vault by doing either of the following:
    • In your web browser toolbar, click the LastPass icon LastPass then click Open My Vault.
    • Go to https://lastpass.com/?ac=1 and log in with your username and Master Password.
  2. Select Account Settings in the left navigation.
  3. On the General tab under Login Credentials, click View next to the Master Password Reminder option.
  4. If you set up a Master Password Reminder, it is displayed within the prompt. If you do not encounter a prompt, it means you have not set up a Master Password Reminder.
