LastPass Android - Fail to authenticate with fingerprint

[digital_everest]

I've had the problem for a while (see posts) but the March Update did seem to resolve it. FYI, I didn't know this at first because I was running BitWarden for the last couple weeks. (Very nice pw manager, great security features, feels really pro and looked after - and just $10yr I believe)
Are you listening LASTPASS?

Anyhow, bc of this, autofill default app in language settings was turned off as well as any other Lastpass permissions. (Accessibility permission). So I emptied cache, uninstalled, reinstalled, gave back permissions and the fingerprint issue was fixed.

Hope that maybe helps to get the March Update fix working.

I have the a few phones all of which have been suffering with biometric issue for many months but after reading the post from another contributor I have been able to get all phones working again after the March security update was installed

1. Open Lastpass on Android
2. Open the menu icon top left
3. Press the gear icon bottom left
4. Press Actions
5. Press Clear LastPass Cache
6. Press Refresh Vault

This has resolved the issue on Pixel 4a, Xiaomi Mi A2 and Xiaomi Mi A3

I hope this helps someone else

Same issue here on OnePlus 7 Pro with Microsoft Edge browser. My phone has an on screen fingerprint reader.

Same issue on OnePlus Nord, it's been bugged for a long time now and I already had a chat with support, they have no clue how to fix this. Sad times for lastpass, especially after forcing users to pay a subscription to sync across devices.

This is now working for me *sometimes* (including just now when I logged in to post this comment), but not other times, on my fully updated Pixel 3A XL. The process is complicated, I think, by my wintry dry skin, which is resulting in uneven results reading my fingerprints - when trying to authenticate LastPass on a website (the topic of this thread) or other things like unlocking my phone. But I do believe there is improvement. I just wish a representative from LastPass would let us know what the official status is.
