How to Get Your Free LastPass Premium Account

As a UC Berkeley student or staff member, you are eligible for a free LastPass Premium account. To get started, follow these simple steps:

First and foremost, your Master Password must meet or exceed the Minimum Security Standards Passphrase Requirements. Create your Master Password for your LastPass Account, and make sure to enter your non-UC Berkeley email address into the top email field. This is required to ensure that you can still use your LastPass account even if you leave UC Berkeley.

Next, check your email and click on the 'Create my account' link in the email you receive from LastPass. If you don't see the confirmation email, check your SPAM folder.

Once you've created your account, go to the LastPass website and claim your free Premium account. Enter your email address and a non-UC Berkeley email address that you'd like to use for your new Premium account.

You'll need to log in with your Free LastPass Account username and Master Passphrase when prompted. Then, click on the 'Confirm' button on the Redeem LastPass Premium webpage.

After successful completion, you'll see a prompt to install a browser plug-in and log in to LastPass via your web browser. Scroll down to the bottom of the Activate Your Account page and click on the 'Already have an account?' link. You'll be directed to a confirmation page and an email will be sent to your address.

Check your email and click on the 'Upgrade my account' link found in the email (if you don't see the confirmation email, check your SPAM folder). Please note that current Family Plan subscribers cannot convert to a LastPass Premium account.

If you already have a LastPass account under your email address, change the email address of your existing LastPass account before proceeding. You must use a personal, non-UC Berkeley email address for your campus-sponsored LastPass Premium account.
