Using LastPass on iPhone in Safari, I get that little icon over login or registration fields. Naturally, I tap it—expecting it to autofill or at least try to help. Instead, it opens the LastPass app… and that’s it. No autofill, no link back to Safari, nothing I do in the app carries over. Just a black hole of user experience.
This “feature” has been broken for years, and I’ve stubbornly put up with it out of some misplaced brand loyalty. But today it actually prevented me from logging into a site until I uninstalled the app entirely.
So… is this actually how it’s designed to work? Or is it just been broken for so long that we’re pretending it’s normal?
Lastpass login not working on new iPhone, but still works in browser.
What’s going on with iOS?

Is LastPass on iPhone supposed to open the app and then do absolutely nothing?

I just got a new iPhone 12 and my Lastpass app login (via email + master pass) is not working, it's acting like the password is wrong. I tried it in my browser and it worked fine. I changed my master password and tried it again on my iPhone app and it still didn't work. I also tried uninstalling/reinstalling and still no luck. I'm not sure now what next step to take, is this a known issue?
Edit: Thanks for the help everyone, I didn't change anything and it just started working today. Not sure what happened but it's all good now.
Seriously, LastPass on iPhone has become nearly unusable. Just a short list of issues:
-
Oftentimes LastPass doesn't show up on input screens. Just nothing.
-
Sometimes the LastPass chooser blocks other elements on the webpage and there's no way to tell it to go away. I have to disable LastPass to use some websites.
-
I have to use "open in LastPass" at least every other usage. Then it somehow forgets whatever search context it had, and it's just a page of my vault.
-
Sometimes refuses to save passwords when you're entering them, requiring you to almost immediately use the lost password flows.
-
If you have multiple logins for those websites that do email first, submit, then password (like Ticketmaster) LastPass always chooses the wrong account. I can't remember the last time I signed into Ticketmaster with LastPass without resetting my password. I have season tickets, this is a constant frustration.
I've been using this for years and I'm just hitting the point that the built in password manager on iOS is more useful. What is going on? It's like they've stopped developing it for iPhones and are just letting it rot.
