![]() ![]() I am not on a VPN, I am not on Holiday or in a dangerous place, I am using my ISP's network of IP's (British Telecom) they change the IP when DHCP lease expires, sometimes daily sometimes a few days. Lastpass made a huge number of errors in their time but this is really making me rethink whether I can trust LogMeIn / Lastpass. I also nearly lost my job because my employer required me to be able to log in while on holiday in cases of client emergency. I had codes for emergency access to money in the Lastpass vault and I had hired a mobile phone with data plan for the Caribbean country which cost me $700, all wasted because I could not get in. ![]() I also had already set it not to require any verification because this same thing happened to me a few years ago when on holiday and I was locked out of all my sites etc. Open vault, then Account Settings>Advanced Settings and check "Don't require email verification from unknown devices and locations." Makes sense that it would work since the VPN, by design, constantly switches our IP addresses, so LastPass sees them as unknown locations."Īnother Chicken and egg solution, you need to be logged in to view vault, I can't login because I can't get into email because I foolishly trusted Lastpass. Questions 7: What is LastPass actually doing now to prevent this from happening again? Question 6: On these occasions, what is causing this to happen, and what can I or LastPass or someone else do to prevent this from happening again? Question 5: If I change my LastPass master password, what is to prevent this same thing from happening when I use my new LastPass master password? Question 4: On these occasions, what happens when I press the Verify new device or location button and follow through with it? Question 3: On these occasions, is there any adverse effect from doing this, and if so, what is the adverse effect? Question 2: On these occasions, why should I do or not do this, and why is it safe or not safe? Question 1: On these occasions (I am entering MY master password on MY PC using MY internet and VPN turned), when I get these login attempt blocked notifications, should I press the Verify new device or location button and follow through with it, and is it safe for me to do this? I have had no problems logging into LastPass on my office PC which also uses the LastPass extension on Google Chrome. ![]() Instead, I shut down my laptop, waited a while, started up the laptop, turned on TunnelBear, checked for viruses with Norton 360, and then successfully logged on to LastPass.Įach time I log on successfully, I find no evidence that any of my accounts in the vault have been changed, entered, or hacked, or that my master password has been compromised. Press the “Verify new device or location” button.Įach time this happens, I have been afraid to press this button and follow through because I did not know what would happen. ![]() “Was this you”….and identified my account, the date and time of the attempt, and the IP address, all of which were correct. LassPass blocked this attempt, but you should take a closer look” “Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn’t recognize. On May 17, 2021,Īmong other things, the notification stated: I believe that on May 14, 2021, LastPass automatically installed version 4.72.0, built May 14, 2021, on my Google Chrome browser.īeginning on May 17, 2021, on a number of occasions, when I attempted to log in to LastPass in this manner, by personally entering MY LastPass master password in this manner on MY laptop with MY home internet and VPN turned on, LastPass denied my log on and sent a login attempt blocked notification to my LastPass security email address. Until May 17, 2021, I had no problem logging in to LastPass at home with this internet/VPN connection by entering my master password. I have been using this arrangement since late September 1919 on my new PC laptop. I have a very strong and secure LastPass master password. Apparently, my IP address changes frequently. I connect the laptop at home to the internet wirelessly with a Spectrum router and use TunnelBear as a VPN. I am running LastPass premium on my PC laptop through the LastPass extension on Google Chrome. Please read my facts and try to answer my questions at the end. I get Login Attempt Blocked Notification when I enter MY LastPass master password from MY PC laptop with MY VPN IP address. ![]()
