Old bug back - Lastpass extension cannot connect to server
ahl2ndc I just tried logging in using an Authenticator but the Vault refuses to change the default multifactor option. It gives me a message that the change has been saved but leaving the Account Settings page and coming back shows that my change hasn't taken. However, I was able to disable the Yubikey MFA option and was given the option of getting a six-digit code via SMS when in Edge. However, I am still told LastPass cannot connect to its server.
1- Launch Edge Canary or Dev
2- Click on the extension
3- Log in
Result: cannot connect to server message
- There was a message for me when I logged on to Lastpass support today (in Edge dev) that told me my extension was outdated and needed to be upgraded. I ran the universal installer, which promptly failed to upgrade anything. Then I removed and reinstalled the extension fro the Edge store but the installed version (4.27.1 I believe). I went out to the Chrome store and they had 4.28 and installed from there. No joy - the upgrade did not fix this issue. I've tried to turn off the Yubikey as well and it happily tells me it's changed to fingerprint authentication as the primary method and then cheerfully ignores it when I try to logon. Now on to the really weird. I switched over to Chrome as my primary browser till there is a fix for this. It does recognize my fingerprint scanner as the primary logon method, scans my fingerprint (which it then happily ignores), takes me to the password logon screen, then the Yubikey authentication page which works in Chrome. Just my nickels worth of info
DavidCashion I disable the Ubikey. After that, I automatically was changed to the authenticator. I ended up using an SMS code. Once in a while, I log out, then log in again to make sure I am still getting the message about not connecting to the server.
Nothing can make me use Chrome. I'll switch to Firefox, Brave or Vivaldi first.
