How do I clear the local cache for my LastPass vault?

    Clearing the LastPass local cache can serve as a troubleshooting step if you encounter issues loading your vault. By clearing your local cache, you are deleting the local stored copy of your encrypted data. To recreate the local cache, log out of LastPass then log back in while an Internet connection is present.

    Attention: Currently, there are two different extension menu experiences, so instructions may differ depending on your navigational experience. The "new experience" applies to version 4.104.0 and newer for the LastPass browser extension, whereas the "previous experience" refers to version 4.103.0 and earlier.
    The steps will vary for clearing your local cache for LastPass (depending on how you use LastPass), as follows:
    LastPass app or extension Instructions
    LastPass browser extension (new experience)
    1. While logged in to LastPass, click the active LastPass icon LastPass in your web browser toolbar.
