LastPass User Manual An easy to understand guide on how to use LastPass.

Fill Form Basics

Using LastPass to store the data you typically have to type into web forms is both easy and secure. Your data is encrypted locally on your computer with the key that only you know before it is sent to LastPass, so you can securely store your credit card, SSN, phone number, and other sensitive data you wish to easily access.

Adding a Fill Form Profile

LastPass recommends you create different profiles for each Name, Location, and Credit Card. To do this, click on the LastPass toolbar Icon and choose 'Form Fill' and then 'Add Profile' or 'Add Card':

LastPass will then launch a Form Fill edit dialog box, where you can fill in all relevant fields:

Once you've created your first profile, you can use the Copy option to easily start another profile:

Clicking 'Copy' will launch an edit Form Fill dialog box, with all previously filled input fields automatically copy/pasted for the new profile you want to create.

Once you have created a Form Fill profile, you will now start receiving notifications to use it when LastPass recognizes a web form:

Mix & Match Profiles

When filling in forms, you may then 'mix and match' data from different profiles.

For instance, let's say you have three credit cards. Create a Credit Card profile for each card. Then let's say you have profile information for a Home address, a Work address, and a Vacation House address. When you come across an account registration form or a shopping checkout form, you can select which profile and credit card you would like to enter from the Fill Form button:

After launching the 'Choose Profile and Credit Card' dialog, you can select those profiles that best fit the form you are filling out:

LastPass will then autopopulate the corresponding fields with the data stored in each selected profile. This reduces shopping checkouts, vacation reservations, shipping, and site registrations to just a few easy clicks.

Setting Your Default Fill Form Profile

To set your default fill form profile, click on your LastPass browser Icon and select 'Preferences' to launch your LastPass Control Panel. In the last section on the General tab, labeled 'Form Fill', you can select a default profile from the dropdown menu and select 'OK':

The Default Form Fill profile is useful when you are using the Form Fill hotkey for web forms.
