Use this interactive demo to learn how to securely share a password with others in LastPass.

‍

This tutorial shows you how to share a saved password from your LastPass vault with another user.

Notes:

Before sharing for the first time, you must verify your email address. In the share window, select Send Verification Email, open the email from LastPass, and click Verify My Email Address. You only need to do this once.
If you update the password after sharing, you must share it again so the recipient receives the latest version.

Click the LastPass icon in your browser toolbar and select Vault.
In the left navigation menu, select Passwords and locate the entry you want to share. Click the Share icon on the entry.
In the share window, enter the email address of the recipient. To let them view the password directly, enable Allow Recipient to View Password.
Click Share to send the invitation. The recipient will appear as Pending until they accept. Once the recipient accepts, the password is shared. To revoke access at any time, click the Revoke icon on the shared entry.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing passwords lets you give team members or family access to shared accounts without exposing the actual credentials. You maintain control since you can revoke access instantly if someone leaves or no longer needs it. Beyond the obvious convenience, this creates a security audit trail that shows exactly who has access to what accounts and when. When you change a password, you can update everyone's access simultaneously rather than manually distributing new credentials through insecure channels like text or email.
