Prevent fields from being filled automatically

To prevent LastPass from autofilling certain fields on specific sites or applications that you have control over, you can edit your item(s) to add the 'data-lpignore'=true attribute within those form fields which you do not want to autofill.

Prevent the in-field icon for appearing for specific items

If you do not want the gray infield auto-fill LastPass icon to appear in your login fields, you can disable it within your LastPass web browser extension Preferences to remove it for all sites, or add a site as a Never URL so that the icon does not appear for specific sites.

About adding attachments to items

Adding attachments can be helpful in maintaining access to important documents in case they are misplaced or you lose access to a printed copy.

Note: The LastPass Binary Component must be installed in order to upload attachments.

LastPass users can add various file types as attachments to their items that meet the following requirements:

  • Must be a supported file type: "csv", "doc", "docx", "odt", "ppt", "pptx", "txt", "xls", "xlsx", "pdf", "png", "gif", "jpg", "m4a", "mpg", "wav", "avi", "rtf", "html", "htm", "mov", "tiff", "tif", "jpeg", "wmv", "tsv", "zip", "rar", "log", "key"
  • Each attachment file can be up to 10 MB in size, and your total storage limits are dependent on your account type (i.e., Free users have up to 50 MB whereas Premium, Families, Teams, Enterprise, and Identity accounts have up to 1 GB).

Limitations

  • Attachments cannot be opened from the online Vault in a web browser (i.e., logging in to https://www.lastpass.com). You can only download attachments by logging in using the web browser extension, desktop app, or mobile app.

About sharing items with others

  • Once you have shared your item, your recipient will remain in a Pending status until they accept the share. You can click Resend Invitation icon to send again, or Cancel Invitation icon to revoke their invitation.
  • Once your recipient accepts, that item is shared with them. If updates are made to the item, you must share again to ensure the recipient has the most updated version of the item. If desired, you can click the Revoke Access icon to remove their access.
    Note:  Attachment download time for recipients may vary depending on the size of the file(s) being shared.

About item history

You can review changes made to your items by viewing the item history.

Note:  The item history only shows a record of the last 5 changes made to each item.
  1. When you edit your item, you can click on the History icon .
  2. Click Show to view the item as it had appeared prior to the saved changes.
