Change HotKeys preferences for the LastPass browser extension

    HotKeys allow you to create keyboard shortcuts for a number of LastPass features. Because HotKeys vary among operating systems and web browsers, LastPass will select the default HotKeys for the particular extension you are using. It is important to verify that a change in one of your LastPass HotKeys will not interfere with other default HotKeys for your computer.

    Hotkeys Preferences for LastPass

    • Generate Secure Password – If you are creating a new account, this HotKey allows you to bring up the Generate a Password dialog box and copy the auto-generated password. The Generate Secure Password HotKey is Alt+G by default. For Mac, there is no default HotKey.
    • Recheck Page – If the page has changed since it was loaded and LastPass hasn’t filled in the available fields automatically, this HotKey allows you to quickly force LastPass to check the page again.
