Creating your Master Password
Your Master Password is the most important factor in securing your LastPass Vault.
Make your Master Password secure. Your Master Password should include at least 8 characters combining numbers, symbols, and letters, without using dictionary-based words.
Your Master Password should be something memorable. If you lose or forget your Master Password, there is NO WAY to retrieve it! Without your Master Password, your password vault is unaccessible and all of your information stored in it will be lost!
