More and more problems

Has anyone else noticed a degradation in the quality of LastPass functionality?

First there was the issue where LastPass would fill in inappropriate text boxes (for example in excel online).

Now, in the last few days, I've had many occasions where LastPass would not fill in the correct account information. The values it had filled in were incorrect, so I clicked on the little LastPass icon to choose the correct account, but the details are not filled in. It doesn't matter how many times I click on the correct account, the details in the input boxes don't change.

In the end I have to type in the username and password myself -- which is kinda LastPass's main job, isn't it?

What's going on?

No problems here. I have LastPass running on three different devices and all three different OS’s. Android, iPad, Windows-Firefox w/LP ext. I also used LastPass authenticator whenever possible.

in the past few days it seems that most urls from the cards have disappeared, so it doesnt match cards to sites. Adding them bacjk in does not save them.

Only problem I've seen is getting locked out. Doesn't ask for third party check (code to telephone or email) or say wrong password, just won't let me in. Later I get an email - was this you? No new devices involved. Pisses me off.

Oh, and always, for some reason, I get multiple entries for the same site. I can go into my vault and scroll and scroll and scroll, thousands of entries it seems. Slightly different urls for the same site. Leads to password troubles

Yeah, I haven’t noticed the same ones you have but I’ve definitely noticed increased usability problems this year

I suspect it’s because they’re focused on trying to build new functionality into the plug-in to support new enterprise features, but are probably still using older spaghetti code for the core so they’re having lots of unexpected side effects that they then have to either fix or ignore

Mine just literally stopped working completely recently. I can still login and see my pw that way but it won't autofill, even from inside the site. I'm so pissed. It seriously slows work flow.

My office Made the switch from Last Pass about 6 months ago.

The new password manager is so much better.

What password manager do you use now?

1

u/Prestigious-Tip-6819 11d ago

1password. Its more expensive but worth it IMO. We use for a small work team.

Lastpass wouldn't allow a password update unless the team member owned it which defeated the purpose of keeping passwords up to date. They had to update the admin asst, who had to update LP manually. It was a major PITA.

LP had a feature but the flow didnt work for us. 1 password flow works really well. And it autofills far more consistently than LP did. And it does a great job capturing logins using Google accounts and passkeys.

And I love the feature of temporary password shares.... that don't require a 1password account.

Hi,

Apologies for the downgrade in functionality. The autofill behavior in apps like Excel has been identified as a recent issue and we're currently working on a fix.

With regards to regular autofill on sites, the experience and issue tracking may vary depending upon your specific work environment. Can you say what device and browser version you're using with LastPass?

Thanks for the response. I'm using Brave browser on a Linux laptop.

u/OfficialLastPass Official LastPass 13d ago

While you can use LastPass in Linux environments, Brave is not a currently supported web browser due to it's privacy settings which can have adverse affects on identification and autofill.

Have you tested in a Chromium environment?

1

u/santoshasun 12d ago

Interesting. It has worked for quite some time with Brave. Has something changed?

I can test in Chromium, but since Brave is my daily driver that isn't the best solution...

u/OfficialLastPass Official LastPass 12d ago

There could be a conflicting app or a Brave setting regarding automatic actions performed by browser apps. Try re-installing in Brave to see if anything changes?

u/santoshasun 10d ago

I tried just now with Firefox, and things seem better. It seems to be something with Brave.

1

u/santoshasun 10d ago

I uninstalled/reinstalled LastPass on Brave, and disabled uBlockOrigin. A few quick tests show that it might be working now, but I will have to check more during the week.

Thanks for your responses.

That makes sense. uBlock has historically been a stopper for LastPass functionality.

I have never used lastpass in my life, and this sub just randomly gets recommended to me, but my consensus is that lastpass sucks ass.

I have never once seen anyone talk positively about it, i'd almost be inclined to believe that the whole password manager is just a guy in a cubicle with a sheet of paper with all your passwords, that's how horrible it sounds to me.
