Password manager LastPass has added a new feature to its software: the ability to store two-factor authentication codes. This is great news. For hackers.Increasingly, people with sense use two-factor auth as a way of ensuring that it is much harder for miscreants to break into their accounts, and to detect if anyone is anyone is trying to do so. A crook needs to know not only a victim’s username and password, but also have their two-factor code to log in.Typically, what will happen is that when you try to log into an account say, a bank account the process will send a one-off code to a device that it knows belongs to you (typically a mobile phone) and require that code to be entered before moving forward.
