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

Your LastPass Vault

The LastPass Vault is a page that allows you to see all of your sites and applications, organized as you like them, immediately:

It is a locally-hosted file so it is secure and fast.

Your Local and Global Vaults

There are two ways to access your LastPass Vault. The first is through the LastPass browser plugin:

The local Vault that you launch through your browser plugin gives you access to all features of LastPass, as well as Preferences and Settings as they apply to the plugin.

We recommend that you access your stored data through your local Vault via your LastPass browser plugin. However, if you are not at a computer that has the LastPass plugin installed, you can access an online version of your Vault by logging into https://lastpass.com:

Accessing your Vault through the website allows you to view your global LastPass account, as well as control global Settings.

LastPass securely syncs the data stored in your account, so that the information you see through your local Vault and your online Vault are the same.

Local Vault

Your sites are organized by groups with your Favorites at the top for easy access. If you click on the name of the site, LastPass will open the corresponding URL in a new tab (or browser) and autologin using your stored username and password.

Each site entry in your Vault has the option to Edit, Share and Delete. By clicking 'Edit' you will launch the 'Edit Site Information' dialog box, where you can view the URL, username, password, and specified settings for that specific site:

There are also visual indicators if the site entry has an associated note , requires password reprompt , or will autologin:

By clicking on the small icon above the scrollbar on the right-hand corner of your Vault, you can choose which columns of site data you wish to show and hide:

You can also drag the separators of the column names to adjust the width of each column.

Note: Chrome's vault does not allow customization of columns at this time.

As you type in the search form above your sites, LastPass searches and filters your sites shown below:

Several advanced features are available to help organize and administer your sites easily. You may select multiple sites (by holding down your Ctrl key or Shift key when you click) and then you may drag and drop your sites to new group. You also have the ability to right click while multiple sites are selected to perform various tasks on all sites at once:

 

Since your Vault displays all of your sites and allows you to log into each of them with a click of a mouse button, many people have decided that this is the best page to start their browsing with and made this their homepage.

Although it is easier to access these features via your LastPass Icon, the links along the top of your local Vault allow you to view, edit or add your Form Fill profiles, Add a Secure Note, change your Identity, launch your Account Settings in your online Vault, view the 'More' menu, or Logoff:

From the 'More' menu you can launch your extension Preferences, view your account History, Show Deleted Sites, Change your Master Password, go to the LastPass Forums or Blog for the latest news and discussions, or set your local Vault as your home page:

Online Vault

Your online Vault allows you to access your stored LastPass data on computers that do not have the installed plugin(s). From the online Vault you can control many of your global LastPass settings, as well as view, edit, and delete your stored information much the same way you would on your local Vault.

The online Vault is organized similarly to the local vault, with your sites organized by Groups in a searchable interface:

Unlike your local Vault, however, the online Vault allows you to view your Sites, Form Fill profiles, Identities, Shares, Roles (for Enterprise users) and Applications in different tabs.

By clicking on the checkbox for one or more site entries, you can click on the 'Delete Selected', 'Change Group', or 'Share Selected' features from the 'Selection Action' menu on the right to perform a single or group action:

From the 'Actions' menu on the left side of the online Vault you can access the following:

Enterprise Administration: For Enterprise Users only, the 'Enterprise Administration' link launches your Admin console, where you can set up and assign Roles, manage account Sites, and more.

Settings: Launches the Edit dialog box for your LastPass Account Settings. From there you can manage your Security preferences, multifactor authentication devices, and more.

Open Favorites: Launches each of your sites marked as a 'Favorite' in a new tab or window and autologs you in.

Add Site: You can manually add an entry for a site, although we recommend that you add a site by logging in as normal and save the login data when prompted by LastPass.

Add Secure Note: Launches the Secure Note dialog box where you can enter and store sensitive data.

Manage Shared Folders:  For Enterprise Users only, this button will link you to your Shared Folders dialog.

Link Personal Account:  For Enterprise Users only, this button enables you to Link your Personal Account to your Enterprise account as a Shared Folder available only to your.

Export: Decrypts your data and displays it in a printable format, allowing you to view and print your data as a backup.

One Time Passwords (OTPs): Launches the OTP page, where you can view, print, or delete your generated OTPs.

User Manual: Launches the LastPass User Manual (the help pages you are currently viewing), where you can search for information regarding your question or problem.
