About this app

LastPass Authenticator offers effortless two-factor authentication for your LastPass account and other supported apps. With one-tap verification and secure cloud backup, LastPass Authenticator gives you all the security, without any of the frustration.

ADD MORE SECURITY
Safeguard your LastPass account by requiring two-factor authentication codes when signing in. Two-factor authentication improves your digital security by protecting your account with an additional login step. Even if your password is compromised, your account can’t be accessed without the two-factor authentication code.

You can even mark a device as “trusted”, so you won’t be prompted for codes on that device while your account remains protected by two-factor authentication.

TURNING IT ON
To turn on LastPass Authenticator for your LastPass account:
1. Download LastPass Authenticator to your mobile device.
2. Log in to LastPass on your computer and launch “Account Settings” from your vault.
3. In “Multifactor Options”, edit LastPass Authenticator and view the barcode.
4. Scan the barcode with the LastPass Authenticator app.
5. Set your preferences and save your changes.

LastPass Authenticator can also be turned on for any service or app that supports Google Authenticator or TOTP-based two-factor authentication.

LOGGING IN
To login to your LastPass account or other supported vendor service:
1. Open the app to generate a 6-digit, 30-second code OR approve/deny an automated push notification
2. Alternatively, send SMS code
3. Enter the code into the login prompt on your device OR hit approve/deny request

Ratings and reviews

Installation is a nightmare. Things started out well , but once I got to the point of photographing the qr code, nothing went according to directions. Now the app does nothing but put out security codes every 30 seconds with no place to enter the codes. support is nothing but bots with no answers. paid subscriber for 5 years but will not be renewing. Total screw-up by lastpass.

Overall this app does what it says on the label. It's unfortunate that all the app's functionality can't be included in the LastPass password manager app, for ease. Also wish it supported more sites & apps using the passwordless/single tap to authenticate push notification feature, as it's less cumbersome.

this app used to integrate with Chrome browser and apps really well, but over the last few years it's gotten buggier and buggier. the app often freezes or requires repeated log ins, fails to provide auto fill options, or pushes autofill pop ups so aggressively as to be disruptive. But it's still better than the other options.
