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

Your LastPass Icon

Once you have installed LastPass, an Icon will appear in a corner of your browser menu. The LastPass Icon makes your web browsing experience faster and easier by giving you immediate access to all major features of LastPass.

After logging in to LastPass, clicking on the Icon will drop down a toolbar menu where you can use the following features:

Logoff

Selecting 'Logoff' will end your LastPass session and will automatically log you out of any open Vault pages, as well as log off of the LastPass plugin on other browsers that share their login state.

Your LastPass Vault

Launches your local LastPass Vault, where you can view, edit, group, delete or share your sites in addition to accessing your form fill profiles, secure notes, and more.

Recently Used

View the ten most recent sites that you visited while using LastPass:

Clicking on a site in the Recently Used submenu will cause it to open in a new tab or window, where LastPass will autolog you in.

Right clicking on a site in the Recently Used submenu presents you with another submenu, where you can choose to edit the entry in the 'Edit' dialog box, copy the username, copy the password, go to the URL, or delete the entry:

Selecting 'Clear Recent' at the bottom clears all entries in the Recently Used submenu.

If you would like to change the number of sites that you view in the Recently Used submenu, go to your Icon, launch Preferences, select the Advanced tab from the left-hand menu, and adjust the Recently Used list size.

Sites

The 'Sites' menu allows you to view all of your sites stored in LastPass according to their groups:

Secure Notes

Access your stored data by clicking on a specific note  in the 'Secure Notes' submmenu, which launches a View/Edit dialog box:

You can also 'Add a Secure Note' using the option at the bottom of the Secure Note menu.

Applications

By clicking on the Applications menu, you will see a list of all your saved Application Logins.  To save application logins, you have to use LastPass for Applications, a premium feature.  By selecting a specific application login, you have the option to Launch, Copy Username, Copy Password Edit, and Delete an Application Login.  Learn more about LastPass for Applications!

Open Favorites

By clicking on 'Open Favorites', LastPass will launch each site marked as 'Favorite' in its own tab or window and autolog you in. If you have a set of sites that you access every time you open your browser (for example, your email account and your favorite social networking site), launching from Favorites is an easy and quick way to login.

Fill Forms

From the Form Fill menu, you can either access a saved profile to fill out a web form or you can add a new Form Fill profile:

Read our extended discussion of the Form Fill function to learn how to best use this feature.

Preferences

Clicking on 'Preferences' will launch the LastPass Control Panel dialog box, where you can view or edit your local security settings, notification preferences, hotkeys, and more.

Help

Click 'Help' to launch the LastPass User Guide and find the answers to your questions about LastPass features.

Tools

From the Tools menu, you can Generate a Secure Password, switch Identities, import or export your data, and more:

Enterprise Console

If you use LastPass Enterprise and are an Administrator in your system, you can access the Administrator Console via this link in the icon menu.

Save All Entered Data

If you have encountered a site that LastPass struggles to store properly, you can use the 'Save All Entered Data' method to accurately store the site in LastPass. When you click 'Save All Entered Data' after entering your login data but before submitting, LastPass captures all login fields with their corresponding data. We suggest only using this method when you are having login problems.  For further instructions, visit our video tutorial page!
