LastPass, the secure access solution that helps organizations and users work, move faster, and stay protected, today announced a comprehensive reimagining of the LastPass Community platform, designed to accelerate success for a broad spectrum of users — from individual consumers to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). This launch transforms the existing platform into a simple, scalable resource where users can quickly master LastPass products, share day-to-day knowledge, and stay protected as LastPass evolves.

The new LastPass Community brings everything customers need into one place, supporting the mission to deliver the secure access essentials organizations and individuals need to stay protected in a world of endless apps, AI tools, and browser-based work. By making sophisticated protection easy and accessible for even the smallest teams, the reimagined Community bridges the gap between having world-class security tools and knowing exactly how to master them.

The reimagined LastPass Community platform introduces a more modern interface and new features that streamline the user journey, part of the company’s dedication to customer experiences that build trust through intuitive, low-effort workflows. By centralizing all resources and peer insights in one place, the platform makes mastering products and resolving issues significantly faster and more effective.

“In an era where AI is rapidly changing how we find information, the desire for genuine human connection is stronger than ever,” said Heather Brown, Chief Customer Officer at LastPass. “People want to engage with peers who understand their day-to-day challenges and get practical answers to product questions, troubleshooting guidance, and best practices, but they also need to be able to find these things fast. The enhanced LastPass Community addresses the need for this velocity, using modern technology to accelerate discovery without sacrificing the human-led authenticity that our users rely on.”

The Reimagined LastPass Community Experience
The redesigned LastPass Community introduces several major improvements and new features that empower users to find answers faster and connect more deeply with technical experts, including:

Community Benefits for SMBs
While designed for any user to leverage, the new LastPass Community offers streamlined efficiency that small to mid-sized businesses need to maximize their limited resources. As employees log into dozens of applications daily and AI tools enter the workforce faster than these strained IT teams can track, LastPass offers the secure access essentials and the learning resources smaller organizations need to stay ahead.

By centralizing support content, Topical Hubs, and on-demand video resources, lean IT teams can troubleshoot independently and work faster. Peer-to-peer learning and community recognition further empower SMB admins to connect with others facing similar challenges, fostering internal champions who can master access security best practices and drive company strategy.

The new LastPass Community ensures that even the smallest teams can manage their security with total confidence and minimal effort, part of the LastPass mission to provide the secure access essentials organizations need to stay protected in the modern threat landscape.

LastPass Community is now available for all customers to explore.

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices are sinking again Tuesday and pulled back to $80 per barrel for the first time since early March, while the U.S. stock market drifts near its all-time high.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.3% following a rally that’s brought it back within 1% of its record set earlier this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 392 points, or 0.8%, as of 11:45 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.7% lower.

With optimism continuing that a tentative U.S.-Iran deal on their war will reopen the Strait of Hormuz at the end of the week and get the global flow of oil going again, the price for a barrel of Brent crude fell 4.3% to $79.62.

Significant hurdles remain in the negotiations, including what to do with Iran’s nuclear program. But the hope on Wall Street is that this agreement will mean a long-term fix to a conflict that has worsened inflation around the world. The price of Brent has come down sharply from its $100-plus level of a few weeks ago, though it could still take months for the energy industry to get back to full speed.

On Wall Street, stocks benefiting from the boom in artificial-intelligence technology were weighing on the market following their vicious swings over the last couple weeks. They have been leading the market up and down amid worries that their stock prices shot too high, too quickly in the mania around AI. That’s taken a toll because chip companies and other AI winners have grown so big that they’ve become some of Wall Street’s most influential stocks.

Drops of 1.8% for Nvidia and 5.8% for Micron Technology were the two heaviest weights pulling the S&P 500 lower.

Robinhood Markets fell 3.5% after the investing platform said in a regulatory filing that it’s laying off about 10% of its full-time employees, while Dave & Buster’s Entertainment sank 3.9% after reporting a weaker profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected.

On the winning side of Wall Street was SpaceX, which rose 8.1% toward a third straight gain since its debut on the U.S. stock market. It said it’s moving forward with a purchase of Cursor, a popular AI coding assistant, valuing it at $60 billion.

Yum Brands climbed 2.4% after it said it’s selling the Pizza Hut chain for $2.7 billion. Most of the restaurants will go to LongRange Capital, a private equity firm. Those in mainland China will go to Yum China Holdings.

In stock markets abroad, indexes rose in Europe following a mixed performance in Asia.

Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 briefly topped 70,000 for the first time before ending with a modest gain of 0.1% after the Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to 1%. That’s its highest level in three decades, and it followed a similar move by the European Central Bank last week.

The Federal Reserve is beginning its own meeting on what to do with interest rates Tuesday, with an announcement on the decision coming Wednesday.

It will be the first meeting under the Fed’s new chair, Kevin Warsh, who was nominated by President Donald Trump. Trump has been pushing for lower interest rates, which would give the economy a boost but also threaten to worsen inflation. The widespread expectation, though, is that the Fed will leave its main interest rate alone again.

In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.44% from 4.47% late Monday and from 4.56% earlier this month.

High yields in bond markets worldwide caused by expensive oil prices have threatened to slow economies and undercut prices for all kinds of investments, including stocks and cryptocurrencies. High yields have already sent mortgage rates higher, and a report on Tuesday said construction crews broke ground on far fewer new U.S. homes in May than economists expected.
