If you already had the LastPass extension installed, it shouldn’t have disappeared as a result of this accidental removal. All decryption takes place on the user’s end. No data was leaked as LastPass was quick to respond and confirm that this issue doesn’t affect the encryption of passwords at all. We’re not sure how this happened, and LastPass isn’t offering up any details, but the company says it’s working with Google to resolve things. Rest assured, though, the extension should be restored any time now.Įxplained on Twitter (via ReviewGeek), LastPass somehow removed its own extension from the Chrome Web Store by accident earlier this week.
LastPass is my password manager of choice, and recently, the company caused some confusion by accidentally deleting its Chrome extension.
