Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to remove lastpass from chrome.
Will removing LastPass delete my saved passwords?
No, uninstalling the LastPass extension from Chrome does not delete your passwords. Your passwords remain safely stored in your LastPass vault. If you reinstall the extension or access LastPass through their website or another browser, you can still retrieve them.
Can I reinstall LastPass after removing it?
Yes, absolutely. You can reinstall LastPass anytime by visiting the Chrome Web Store, searching for LastPass, and clicking 'Add to Chrome'. Your vault data will still be accessible once you log back in with your master password.
What happens to my autofill data after uninstalling?
LastPass-specific autofill functionality will stop working immediately after uninstallation. However, any passwords or information you manually saved to Chrome's native password manager will remain intact and continue to work with autofill.
Do I need to uninstall LastPass from other browsers too?
Uninstalling LastPass from Chrome only affects that browser. If you use LastPass on Firefox, Safari, Edge, or other browsers, you'll need to remove it separately from each one using that browser's extension management interface.
Why is LastPass still showing up after I removed it?
If LastPass appears to still be installed, try refreshing your extensions page or restarting Chrome. If the issue persists, clear your browser cache and cookies, then check the extensions list again. As a last resort, completely close and reopen Chrome.
