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.

    I discovered I can’t log in to a website from device #2, because I changed my password SEVERAL HOURS AGO on device #1, but Lastpass didn’t think A PASSWORD CHANGE was a good enough reason to sync the new password with the Lastpass servers, and so that new password is not available on any of my devices except the device I changed my password on.

    Nice job guys, this is excellent work. Because why would I want my passwords on multiple devices?

Did this help? Let us know!
