In November 2022, the password manager service LastPass disclosed a breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing both encrypted and plaintext data for more than 25 million users. Since then, a steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults.

    I was similarly not particularly concerned by this breach; my iterations value was set much higher a long time ago, my master password was bordering on insane; as in greater than 16 characters, Mixed Case, includes symbols, has XKCD-Style word patterns and contained non-english/unexpected words/patterns.

    I also had migrated away from lastpass and prior to the breach had Deleted my account.
