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

Smart Card Authentication

LastPass has experimental support for smart card readers as a premium feature.  Currently, only computers running Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux, SafeSign middleware, and Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome support this feature.  Safari and Opera can be supported by installing an additional binary component.

OpenSC is also supported as an alternative to SafeSign (currently only on Windows).

For Windows, please ensure aetpkss1.dll or opensc-pkcs11.dll is present on your system (typically in C:\Windows\System32).

For Mac OS X, please ensure libaetpkss.dylib is present on your system (typically in /usr/local/lib).

For Linux, please ensure libaetpkss.so is present on your system (typically in /usr/lib).

Also, make sure an RSA key is present on your smart card.  This RSA key must be capable of encryption and decryption.

1. Open a supported browser with the latest LastPass extension installed
2. Login to LastPass as a premium user
