Disable "Password at risk" -- UI Design Flaw

[AshC]

@edreilly  You can now exclude specific password entries from the security check, from within the Vault itself by clicking the three dots next to each one and selecting Exclude from security score.  This might help you with visibility and awareness when viewing the password list at a glance.

Ash, Thank you. I looked for a three dot button next to a password item, and could not find it.  Could you please describe where the button is, or perhaps attach a screenshot?   By the way, if you are speaking about a list within the Security Dashboard view, I have a free account and no access.

@edreilly  It should look like this:

Thank you. Let me say part of my last post in a different way. What I said on the last post was "... if you are speaking about a list within the Security Dashboard view, I have a free account and no access."

What that means is I have a free account. I don't have a paid account. The Security Dashboard view only comes with the paid account. The Security Dashboard view is not available for people like me who have a free account. The feature to exclude passwords from the security score, to prevent a false red alert "Password at risk", is only available for paid accounts. This comes to me as a design flaw. By design flaw I mean the user experience is degraded. I have a free account, so I get that things will be different. But the uneditable red alerts are relatively new. So it's like something bad was added. It's Ok with me if you choose to degrade your product for free users, but it's possible your QA people missed this. That's ok with me also.

If there is a way for Free account holders to exclude passwords from the security score calculation, I am interested to learn how.

like the person said, a lot of these passwords are simple, yet my important sites are safer.

Hi everyone,

You can now easily exclude passwords from the security check, avoiding the 'at risk' tag by following these instructions:  

1. Log in to LastPass and access your vault by doing either of the following:
   • In your web browser toolbar, click the LastPass icon  and select Open My Vault.
   • Go to https://lastpass.com/?ac=1 and log in with your email address and master password.
2. Select Account Settings in the left navigation.
3. Click the General tab, then select Show Advanced Settings.
4. Select Disable Password Alerts.
5. Select Update, then re-enter your LastPass master password to confirm the update.
