New permissions required??

oldcrowe

So- new permissions required for Lastpass?
Here's what it's telling me: Lastpass needs permission to:

Required:

• Access your data for all websites
• Display notifications to you
• Read and modify privacy settings
• Access browser tabs
• Access browser activity during navigation

WHY???
Why do you need to 'read and modify privacy settings'? That sounds exactly like the reasons we HAVE software like Lastpass- to PREVENT this type of behavior!

Why do you need to 'access browser activity during navigation? to 'access browser tabs'? to 'access my data for all websites'???

I will not give Lastpass nor anyone else these permissions. It's been nice, but 'see-ya'!

Hello @oldcrowe

Welcome to the LastPass Community!

My apologies for any inconvenience this is causing you, I understand that granting permissions may sound like a risk however in this case this permissions are in order for the browser extension to work as expected and copy, paste, autofill sites, save, etc.

Without this permission these actions will not be completed, here's an article from our support site about this type of permissions: Permissions or in the case of Firefox there's this article from the support website: Firefox extension permissions.

Appreciate your time and if you have any other question or request we'll be glad to help.
