Hello

I have a new PC and I want to transfer Lastpass (in Firefox) to the new device. How does that work?

Best regards,

@wisch  Once you install the LastPass app locally your Vault items will all show up after you login successfully.  You will also need to confirm the security email sent from LastPass servers in order to use the new install.

Hello

Thank you very much. All right, I figured it out myself by logging in and syncing.

Best regards,

I do have to come back.
It's about the fingerprint. I have a fingerprint sensor (USB) from Kensington. This I have now also on the new PC, and set up the fingerprint with it.

On the old PC it was so that after starting Firefox the LastPass window was visible, and I have released with the finger,
But now I have to enter my extremely long pssword every time.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi @wisch,

Could you follow the steps here to make sure your fingerprint sensor is supported/has the correct drivers and set up correctly for LastPass? https://support.logmeininc.com/lastpass/help/fingerprint-authentication-lp030021

Hello Rachel,

it works now!
It was a little bit hacky until the fingerprint worked though, as it was tedious to disable and re-enable the fingerprint.

Thank you very much for your/your help.

Best regards,
