Then, go to More options again, click Help and select About Google Chrome. If there’s a newer version available, install it on your device and restart your browser.
Check Your LastPass Settings
Maybe your LastPass settings are to blame for this problem. Make sure the password manager is properly installed on all your browsers. Check your settings and ensure LastPass is allowed to access the websites you’re visiting.
On your browser, go back to Extensions and hit the Details button again. Scroll down to Site access and make sure LastPass can access all the sites.
Additionally, toggle on the Incognito Mode option if you want to enable the extension in private mode.
Reinstall LastPass
If the issue persists, uninstall the LastPass extension across all your browsers and clear the cache. Then restart your computer, reinstall LastPass, sign in to the same account across all your browsers, and check if the issue is gone.
