How to Generate a Password in LastPass

‍

This tutorial shows you how to use the LastPass password generator to create a strong, randomized password for any account.

Note: The password generator is available on all LastPass plans. You must have the LastPass browser extension installed and be logged in.

1. Click the LastPass icon in your browser toolbar to open the extension menu.
2. Select “Generator” from the menu.
3. Set the password length using the Length slider or input field. For most business accounts, 20–24 characters is recommended.
4. Toggle all the character types to make your password as strong as possible:
   
   • Lowercase (abc)
   • Uppercase (ABC)
   • Numbers (123)
   • Randomized symbols (!#$)
5. Click the Generate icon to produce a new password. The result appears in the password preview field.
6. Click the Copy icon to copy the generated password to your clipboard.
7. Paste the password into the password field on the site, save your changes, then click Save or Add Password when LastPass prompts you to update your vault.
