LastPass Linking Personal Account

LastPass Linking Personal Account

We are providing staff with a complimentary LastPass Families account, which is a personal account that includes five (5) additional licenses that you can grant to anyone – family, friends, etc.

Everyone that you invite to your LastPass Families account is granted their own personal LastPass account just like yours, where they can securely generate passwords, manage account credentials for sites, and store anything from notes, payment cards, passports, bank accounts, and much more. Additionally, everyone can choose to share items in their vault with others while keeping the rest of their vault completely private.

Claim your LastPass Families account by logging in to your LastPass Business account then completing the activation steps.

Log in to LastPass and access your vault by doing either of the following:
- While logged in to your LastPass Business account, click the LastPass icon in your web browser toolbar, then select Open My Vault.
- Go to https://lastpass.com/?ac=1 and log in with your LastPass Business email address and network password.

Activated but unlinked account

How do I link my LastPass Families as a Benefit account?

You can link your personal LastPass Families account (or another personal account) to your company's LastPass Business account so you can keep your vault entries all in one place while both accounts remain separate.

Once your personal account is linked, your personal LastPass account is treated as a shared folder within your LastPass Business account. KSM cannot see anything in your personal account whatsoever.

Before you begin: You must activate your LastPass Families account before proceeding. Follow the instructions leading up to this.

Select the LastPass add-in icon in your web browser toolbar, then select Open My Vault.
Or go to https://lastpass.com/?ac=1 and log in with your LastPass Business email address and network password.

Select Account Benefits towards the bottom left-hand side of the page.

Select Link accounts.

Activated but unlinked account

Enter your personal account master password (the same account that you activated), then click Link Account. A confirmation email message will indicate your personal and business accounts are now linked.
Select Back to Account Benefits.

Your LastPass Families account (or other personal account) is now linked to your company's LastPass Business account, and the "Account linking" status is set to Linked within the Account Benefits page.
