However, the hackers can use “brute force” (a hacking method that uses trial and error to crack passwords, login credentials, and encryption keys) to break get individual vault access. Fortunately, each password vault is encrypted and the encryption keys were not part of the data stolen.

Not just a breach that accessed data the data tables were stolen! That means the hackers have the data files. Recently, LastPass had a MAJOR security breach in which presumably their entire customer base’s password vaults were stolen. They had been around for years and were one of the top reliable/secure choices. LastPass was easy to use, worked on multiple devices, secure, and had a good reputation. I’ve touted the password manager called LastPass as the best platform and I’ve been its fan for years. Managers allow users to develop a litany of complex, effective passwords without having to remember or write down tens if not hundreds of passwords. I’ve been a big proponent of using a password manager for years.
