Regarding upcoming URL encryption

Question

The information on this coming change states, "the URL of the website you are visiting in your web browser needs to be matched against entries saved in your LastPass vault to determine whether fields can and should be auto filled." But I have the paid version of AVG, which also includes its anti-track program and if set to erase my cookies along with browsing history every 3 hours, how will that effect LastPass' URL encryption? With the new changes coming up, does that mean if I erase my browser history, LastPass won't work because it won't have anything to match my previous website entries?

I would appreciate so more clarification on this subject.

Hello @jonsp01​,

My name is Henry and I am happy to assist with your inquiry, and appreciate you contacting LastPass Support!

Regarding the URL encryption, this happens on server side. Therefore, if you clear the cookies and cache it will not affect this data as it is stored on LastPass servers. Keep in mind that the information of your items, excluding the URL, was already encrypted and was not affected by clearing the cookies and cache. You as an end user will not notice any changes on how LastPass works after the encryption.

Please let me know if this helped or if further assistance is required.

Thank you,

Henry | Customer Care
