The Lastpass extension cannot connect to its server. I use a Ubikey for two-factor authentication.
1- Login with password
2- Press on Ubikey when prompted
3- The Tab for the Ubikey closes and reopens again asking to press on the key
4- The request to press the Ubikey repeats ad nauseam.
The problem arises in Canary and Dev versions, not on any other app (Edge Classic, Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Brave). I've tested the bug on my workstation, Surface Pro 4 and Dell Alienware 17r3 and it's the same story everywhere.

@ahl2ndc How could it be? The key works fine with every app except Edge Canary and Dev?

@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

This sounds like CORB getting in the way. If this is the case, it looks like it's the extension author that has to make some changes.

@ahl2ndc Done that twice. Even tried different extensions (Microsoft store and Google store).

@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.
