LastPass app for Android always prompts for master password

[mrsjennyk]

I know this must just be a setting issue, but I don't understand the settings. I'm using LastPass on an Android and it prompts me for the master password every single time it wants to fill in a password. To me, that defeats the purpose of it (convenience). I would like it to never ask me for the master password. How do I change the settings to do that?

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

Could you check these settings in the LastPass app to change them to your preference? 

In the LastPass app, go to Settings > Security > make sure Lock Options and Auto Logout are set to your preference. The "Lock Options" setting determines how often you will need to unlock the LastPass app with biometrics/a pin code/your master password, and the "Auto Logout" setting will determine how often you will need to fully log in to the LastPass app again with your username and master password.

Ok, that seems to have worked. Thank you!

I am having the same problem, but it looks like the LastPass security setting names have changed, and I'm not sure how to set things up so that I don't get prompted for my vault password every time I want to log into a web site on my phone. 

The settings now are called:

Lock LastPass Automatically (I have it enabled)

Lock when app is idle (5 minutes)

Lock when screen is turned off (disabled)

Skip item reprompt after log in (1 minute)

Log out when app is idle (never log out)

What settings should I use so that I am never prompted to log into LastPass when I want a user name and password filled in?
