Fortify your digital accounts
The Office of Information Security and Digital Technology Solutions recently rolled out LastPass for all University of Cincinnati staff members to simplify password management with enhanced security and convenience.

- Create strong, unique passwords: LastPass generates complex passwords for each account, enhancing security.
- Prevent phishing attacks: It automatically enters credentials only on legitimate websites, reducing the risk of entering them into fake domains.

By adopting LastPass, UC is enhancing its commitment to protecting digital identities and data.
