LastPass 2-Factor Authentication pop up advertisement when logging in to a site?

Adam Van

When i was trying to log into amazon.com which i have 2 factor authentication enabled, there was a pop up stating it was from "last pass" that said i could skip 2 factor authentication by hitting yes and enabling a last pass feature that would automatacially do it for me.

These are in my best words how to describe the message. Is this a service that last pass offered or was that a potentially dangerous pop up?

Sincerely,

Thanks for the screenshot, this is a legitimate ad for the LastPass Authenticator,which is a two-factor authentication app for your LastPass account and other supported apps that allows one-tap login verification (such as for logging in to Amazon.) For more information on the LastPass Authenticator and how to use it, please see here:https://lastpass.com/auth/

LastPass will also offer to save login credentials/information for you, so the second notice you saw was normal as well. You can choose to save the credentials to your Vault or dismiss the notification to not save the credentials to your vault.

Hello,

You may have seen a pop up advertising the LastPass Authenticator, which is a two-factor authentication app for your LastPass account and other supported apps that allows one-tap verification. Without a screenshot, however, it is hard to say for sure if the popup was safe or should just be ignored. If you do see the popup again and please do feel free to take a screenshot and post here so that we can confirm if it is safe/legitimate.

Hi Rachel, please see attached for a screenshot. Also, about a minute after this, I was asked to accept or decline that lastpass would save information on my URLs. Was that normal?
