The Frustrating Dance between Google Chrome, LastPass, and Security Certifications

As a paid business account holder of LastPass, I've experienced a peculiar issue that seems to be affecting other users as well. The problem is recurring, and it's led me to speculate about the possible reasons behind this annoying phenomenon.

The issue started shortly after I installed LastPass on my Google Chrome browser. At first, everything seemed to work smoothly, but soon I began noticing that LastPass would disappear from my extensions list without warning. It would reappear a few days later, and I'd find it enabled with no issues. This back-and-forth has been happening regularly, about every couple of weeks.

I've tried to troubleshoot the issue on my own, but nothing seemed to work. That's when I decided to reach out to LastPass tech support, referencing this discussion. And guess what? They confirmed that there was indeed an issue with the slider box being in a disabled position, which could be causing the extension to disappear.

I've also discovered that this problem seems to occur shortly after Chrome updates its browser version. It's possible that these updates are causing LastPass to become incompatible, leading to it being temporarily removed from my extensions list. When I sign back into LastPass as if it were the first time, everything works for a couple of weeks before the issue strikes again.

It's not just me who's experiencing this problem; many other users have reported similar issues on various online forums and review sites. Some have speculated that the root cause is due to LastPass not being certified compliant with the latest Chromium version. This could be causing Chrome to remove it from the extensions list temporarily until a new update is rolled out.

While this issue can be frustrating, I've learned to live with it by simply signing back into LastPass whenever it disappears. However, I do wish that the developers would address this problem and make sure their extension remains compatible with Chrome's updates.

For now, if you're experiencing similar issues with LastPass on Google Chrome, don't worry – you're not alone! And who knows, maybe one day we'll see a permanent solution to this pesky problem.
