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

Trying to backup but the app prompts me to log in over and over in an eternal circle of frustration. This is not including the first login attempt when I had to check email, text a code, and app notification because they did not recognize the device. Also, if you go through the Rate and Share Settings menu and leave negative feedback, it will link you only to their suggestion form. But if you say you're happy then, lo and behold, straight to the Play Store you go. 2 stars off just for that.

Update-been working well now for quite awhile. Upgraded from 1 star to 4. Previous review-Worked great for a few months then just died, would get hung on "Loading" and never finish loading for me to accept. Uninstaller and reinstalled, worked for a couple of weeks and started doing the same thing. Giving up and just having SMS code sent to my phone each time and not bothering with this app.

It won't work with Last Pass itself which is kind of a bare minimum type thing. Also, their troubleshooting guide says to just Uninstall and reinstall it. But if you do that, you lose the accounts you already have on there. And here's the kicker, you can't back them up without setting up 2 factor authentication with the last pass account. Which again, won't work in the first place.

What’s new

You'll have a more reliable experience thanks to various minor bug fixes.
