How to set LastPass to log out when computer is restarted or shut down? ›

To fix the problem, I went into Account-Extension Settings-General-Security and "Log out when all browsers are closed" is selected.

LastPass uses session cookies to stay logged in. If you're not staying logged in, and it's not due to an extension setting, then you've got a browser configuration or third party security software wiping the cookies.

Browser Configuration: Check if your browser settings have changed or if there have been any updates that might be affecting LastPass's autofill behavior. It's possible that a browser update or setting change is causing LastPass to prompt for the master password.

To disable auto login, set the disable_auto_login parameter to true in the query parameter of the authorization URL and redirect the user as follows. If you want to let users know in advance that a redirection will occur, you can display a redirection message.

Whether you plan to continue using LastPass or switch to another option, you need to change your master password and all the associated passwords on all your accounts to play it safe. The stolen passwords, although encrypted, can potentially be broken which would instantly expose you to a massive problem.

No, LastPass is not considered safe for storing banking data. Although the password manager has employed numerous security measures, it has experienced a major data breach in 2022 that ended up affecting 25 million users.

What is passwordless login LastPass? ›

Passwordless login allows you to log in to LastPass (or a feature of LastPass) using a multifactor solution (that is, LastPass Authenticator app, desktop biometrics, or a security key) instead of manually entering your master password every time.

This issue is most likely being caused by your browser in-built password manager. If you have stored your Master Password in your browser, please delete it and you should no longer have this issue.

As a security best practice, you can manage settings within your LastPass web browser extension preferences to keep you logged in, or automatically log you out of your LastPass account when it is no longer in use and/or idle.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue, the LastPass extension saves cache and cookies for it to keep the session open, eventually closing them for security. In this case, avoid clearing the cache of the browser when closed, additionally, to update the extension to the latest versions, remove it and reinstall it.

Click Delete to start the process of permanently and irreversibly deleting your LastPass account and all of your data, including Sites, Secure Notes, and Form Fills. Everything you had in LastPass will be gone.

Select the Multifactor Options tab. next to your enabled multifactor authentication option. For the Enabled option use the drop-down menu to select No.
