Key notes

LastPassis a greatpassword manager, but some users reported issues with LastPass andSafari, and it can be quite a nuisance.

According to them,LastPassisn’t working inSafariat all. This can be a major problem, but there’s a way to fix that.

If you check your extensions and notice a warning indicating that the LastPass extension not showing in Safari, it might be due to a recent web browser version upgrade or incompatibility.

An anti-virus tool, security suite, or system maintenance application may prevent LastPass from being seen or from working properly.

It’s okay to include LastPass as a trusted source in your security tool maintenance settings so that it may be accessed at any time without disruption.

Why LastPass Safari extension not showing up?

Why doesn’t LastPass work on Safari or not showing up is a problem that many have faced lately?

You may receive errors while attempting to access your LastPass vault, which might be due to the extension not being enabled.

Quitting Safari and then relaunching the browser to reach the preferences in the menu bar saves you time when checking the extensions tab to see whether it is operating well and displaying your other extensions as well.

In the left navigation bar, there is a little check box for the LastPass option that you may toggle to return the password manager to the light.

It’s important to go over this simply to make sure the password manager extension isn’t deactivated from the start, so you can go on to the next troubleshooting steps.

If you installed the LastPass browser extension and are having problems with it suddenly vanishing or being corrupted, please follow the troubleshooting instructions listed below.
