    Check whether the login screen loads in an iFrame

    LastPass will not offer to autofill on a login form if it is contained within an iFrame, which is a window that is "layered" within a webpage. Instead, LastPass will treat the login form as insecure because it doesn't match the domain in your browser's address bar.

    To resolve this, you can add an equivalent domain for the site and the iFrame address.

    Confirm if the site is using HTTP (not HTTPS)

    For security purposes, autofill via LastPass will not occur on initial page load of HTTP-only sites because the site is not secure, however, you can still manually fill your data for sites that use HTTP.

    Check that the site is not Flash-based or Silverlight-based

    LastPass does not support either of these platforms. To check if your website is built on one of these, right-click on the website's login fields and view the context menu for more information.
