How to find out if your password leaked over the Internet with LastPass

LastPass is a digital password safe that offers a simple way to know if your information has been exposed on the Internet. Through a plugin for Google Chrome, the service scans its credentials on the platform and compares it with known databases of leaked data. The feature is hidden in the "Security Challenge" function, a logins check mode that also allows you to automatically change passwords on the web. See in the tutorial how to use LastPass on the PC and find out if your password has already leaked on the web.
