The "binary" Chrome browser extension is not supported in Chrome OS. On Mac, the desktop app gives you the Safari binary extension, but there's a separate installer for the Chrome one.Ĭhrome OS can use either the regular LastPass Chrome browser extension or the LastPass Android app. To get the "binary" extensions on Windows and Linux, use the universal installer. The second type of extension, available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera, has a " binary component" that can log you in (and out of) LastPass on other desktop browsers and supports Windows fingerprint login. (Brave and Vivaldi can use this Chrome extension and SeaMonkey the Firefox one.) The first is the regular kind you can find in your browser's extensions library.
There are two types of LastPass browser extensions.
You can also download a Windows or Linux "universal installer" mini-app that will put the extension on every browser you have installed. Supported browsers include Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera. To use the LastPass browser extensions, as LastPass recommends, you must be running Windows 8.1 and above, "the two most recent major macOS versions" (currently includes 10.15 Catalina and later), Chrome OS or one of the most common distributions of Linux. With the addition of 1Password's full support for Linux (opens in new tab) on desktop, the two password managers are roughly comparable in terms of compatibility with major platforms. (fwiw, the LastPass iOS app still works perfectly on my iPhone 7 with the latest iOS update: it has no trouble seeing new passwords as I create them, and has no trouble automatically (and correctly!) detecting and filling in password fields-except on a couple of bank websites which are horrible and won't play nice with any password managers at all.1Password does not have a free option, but it does have a trial period of two weeks. LastPass' free tier lets you use the premium functions for a month. My new M1 MacBook Pro (2021) has all the problems as everyone else: Safari can't see the extension, won't interact with it at all, and the LastPass Safari extension isn't in the app store anymore.
But somewhere along the line, something got "tightened" to the point where LastPass can't do what it wants in order to make its Safari extension work. the LastPass Safari extension still works fine on my old 2015 Intel MacBook Pro (running High Sierra).Īpple's later MacOS versions continue to tighten security restrictions, which is wonderful (and which might have broken Facebook's profitability?).
