Manage Trusted Devices in Account Settings

    Once you have set up multifactor authentication for your account, you can choose to "trust" a device when you log in to LastPass, which will skip the multifactor authentication prompt for 30 days for your device. Once trusted, you can rename, revoke trust, or delete a trusted device.

    Trusting a device is only recommended for personal devices that are only used by you, and you follow general security best practices (e.g., run anti-virus service, avoid accessing suspicious links, etc.).

    Remember: If you revoke or delete a device, you are prompted for multifactor authentication from the device again. The difference is that revoking trust allows the device to remain in your Trusted Devices list (where you can re-enable trust again), whereas deleting a trusted device will remove it from the Trusted Devices list.
    Restriction: If you have a LastPass Teams or LastPass Business account, the ability to perform these actions may be limited or prohibited due to policies enabled by your LastPass admin.

    Trust a device

    You can trust an individual device for 30 days, which will skip multifactor authentication prompts for the specific device when you log in to LastPass. You will still be prompted for multifactor authentication when accessing LastPass on other devices.

    Tip: Complete the steps below on every device that you want to mark as trusted.
    1. Using the device you want to trust, log in to LastPass using the website, web browser extension, mobile app, or desktop app.
    2. When prompted by multifactor authentication, enable the Trust this <device> for 30 days setting.

      Troubleshooting: If you are not prompted for multifactor authentication, it means either you have already set this device as trusted or you have not enabled multifactor authentication.

    3. Optional: Enter a name for your trusted device; if you don't enter a name, LastPass will list the device as the name of the computer, mobile device, or web browser you're using.
    4. Complete the steps for multifactor authentication.
    Results: This device is now listed on the Trusted Devices tab in Account Settings.
