Hello

:geek: I have 3 NEO's, each registered with LastPass for 2FA.

:shock: https://blog.lastpass.com/2015/06/lastpass-security-notice.html/

:!: On LastPass, I have changed my logon and security email accounts and master password.

:?: Is there any way that the hackers could compromise the security provided by my 3 NEO's in regards to LastPass?

Please advise and thank you.
Mark

Reading up on what was lost and how the rest of the information is protected, I am not as worried as I was when I first read the news. If you have a unique and strong master password, you're probably ok.

Why?

See the UPDATE sections on this post: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/06 ... passwords/ as well as the comment by epixoip which states...

Code:
rounds = user_rounds || 5000 // the iteration count is user-defined. default is 5k
encryption_key = PBKDF2(HMAC-SHA256, password, salt, rounds) // this is what unlocks your vault
auth_key = sha256(encryption_key) // this is what is sent to the server for authentication
server_hash = PBKDF2(HMAC-SHA256, auth_key, salt, 100000) // this is what is stored in the auth db

So the full algorithm for the password stored in the database, which is what the attackers obtained, is:

PBKDF2(HMAC-SHA256, sha256(PBKDF2(HMAC-SHA256, password, salt, rounds)), salt, 100000)


Code:
Ain't nobody got time for that.

Nod. Yeah, I think I feel secure that the actual encrypted vault wasn't stolen as LastPass says it wasn't. Plus I had a good strong master password and have the vault secured with 2FA via the NEO's. On top of that, I immediately changed my master password to an even longer one, changed the associated email accounts and upped the password iterations significantly.

I guess my concern over somehow the NEO security portion of the overall equation being possibly compromised, is unfounded and simply is a non-factor and can be satisfyingly dismissed.

Peace!
