Biometric Password Reset - "Account recovery is not set for this email" message

[Abbadon]

1. I used to mobile login by biometric for months.

2. Suddenly LastPass asked for master password. Fingerprint login is disabled.

3. I don't remember it, so i'm trying to reset master password.

4. Only way is to reset password by mobile application in my case.

5. When i try to reset password by mobile phone i get a message:

"Account recovery is not set for this email"

What does it mean? Why it's disabled? What can i do?

If i reset account i'll lost all saved passwords. How can i reset password by mobile application in my case?

Hi @Abbadon,

If you see any error when trying to recover via biometrics this means you will need to try another recovery option to see if any are available. All possible recovery options are outlined here: https://support.logmeininc.com/lastpass/help/recover-your-lost-master-password-lp020010

If you've tried all other recovery options your final option is to reset your account and start over with a new master password and new Vault. Steps to reset can be found at the bottom of the article linked above.

Please be aware that LastPass Customer Care has no knowledge of a user's Master Password and it is not possible for LastPass Customer Care to reset or change a user's Master Password or assist a user with changing/resetting their master password.

IMO, if you are going to offer Biometric Account Recovery as an option, I shouldn't have to try other methods of recovery and chances are, having faith that biometric recovery is reliable and secure, most users of your app wouldn't have set up any other method because what's more secure than a fingerprint?....very disappointed in this app. Why set up a recovery method that will fail your users?...

I have a same issue. I try to recovery my password but I get Error message from the app: "Account recovery is not set up for this email" but it is not true.... 

Why log out my app after years.... And why not working the recovery by touchID??

Do you solve this problema?

In our case the only one way is to remember master password.
I had similar problem with second account, but i used it in desktop web browser, so i could reset password by saved cookies.
In mobile version it's impossible.
After months i just found master password in paper notepad.
Now I, and all my family are using SafeInCloud app. 0% stress, 100% safe.
Desktop & standard mobile version is free, but i bought extended family mobile version - it's heavy cheap🙂

Same problem here. I am travelling often and keep getting locked out of last pass. It really stinks and now it looks like I even lost my account. It is literally adding work hours to my job. It really failed gonna use just keychain and chrome passwords from now on.

Hi everyone, I have the same issue with the same message. I have used it for months, but today it suddenly kicked me out. Then I could not use the old password to login. I decided to reset using Biometrics option, which allows me to set the new master password.
However, when I log in again, it just said:
To continue:
Look for an email from LastPass
or Review your login info and try again.
But no email from LastPass.
I am sure I have entered the new master password correctly.
Sent an email to support but just got a bounce email from do-not-reply@goto.com due to that mailbox is over quota.
Do you know anyway to download the encrypted data from LastPass as I suspect after changing the new master password, LastPass already delete the old data.
Any help would be much appreciated.
