Two companies in the business of password management, Dashlane and LastPass, have now stepped in to help with new features that allow users to automatically change their passwords on affected websites.ĭashlane beat LastPass to market with the new addition by hours – clearly, both companies understood that there’s a real need to help make the password changing process easier on end users. Unfortunately, doing so is easier said than done – users tend to re-use their passwords across websites, making it difficult to fully batten down the hatches when one password makes it out into the wild. Combined with large-scale security incidents like Heartbleed, web users are often asked to quickly change their account passwords to protect themselves against further attacks. Data breaches like the ones at Target, Neiman Marcus, Staples, Home Depot, and most recently Bebe, are now exceedingly common.
