Before you continue reading, it is strongly recommended that you change your master password immediately.
LastPass has announced on their blog that an intrusion was detected to their servers, While the company did confirm that encrypted user data was not stolen, the hackers were able to take LastPass account email addresses, password reminders and other encryption elements.
LastPass is advising users to change their master passwords, which are used to retrieve encrypted individual passwords for the users’ other online services or accounts, but it said they don’t need to change individual passwords for all their accounts.
If you share that master password with any other services, you should change it there, too.
