Authenticator Reset

I'm being forced to reset my authenticator.  I'm getting sent a password to reset it.  However, I need LastPass to open my email.  How in the world is being forced on me for the first time in years of use with no warning? I do not want this security measure.

 

I finally used my wife's login to get to my email account, reset my authenticator - Which is Authy btw - does not work the same as Google, and I still am getting the message I need to reset it. I'm completely locked out of every account with no way to fix it!

 

I stuck with you guys after the breach, but once I get in, I'm finding a new password manager as this is ridiculous.

Re: Authenticator Reset

Hi, everyone. 

First, I'd like to apologize if you experienced any difficulty after the forced logout + MFA resync event. While this event was necessary for LastPass security upgrades, and all users were sent an email notification in advance, there may be a few issues to be aware of. 

 

The individual cases may vary depending upon your environment, including the following: 

  1. Please check your security email address for any confirmations from LastPass, trying to confirm your IP address or new device. If you find one that's out of date, please attempt to log in again, and trigger a new verification email. 
  2. If you're locked out of LastPass because you don't remember your account password, you may create a case for Customer Support by clicking the 'Contact' button in the middle of this page
  3. If you're locked out because you cannot re-sync MFA, you may create a case by clicking the 'Contact' button in the middle of this page for an email follow up. 

 

if you're still experiencing MFA - reset difficulty, please outline the following: 

What authenticator(s) did you reset?
After the successful reset, what kind of MFA method did you try to log in with?
Have you been prompted to verify your new location on your next login attempt after the successful reset?
Have you checked your email for 'verify your new location' on your next login attempt after the successful reset?

 

Thank you.

Re: Authenticator Reset

Hi, i do have exactly the same problem. After resetting my MFA i completely lost access to my Vault. MasterPW is not working and resetting as well as the reset eMail never gets delivered to me. Cannot contact my "Premium" Support as a Login is required. This is weird.

Re: Authenticator Reset

I tried reaching support on Twitter. Have not yet heard back (although their offices just opened 15 minutes ago).  https://twitter.com/LastPassHelp I'm currently at work and am totally locked out of my clients' websites - so furious that I'm forced into a reset without retaining access in the process.

Re: Authenticator Reset

Same issue.  I was prompted to reenter master password then forced to update MFA, which I did successfully, and now I'm not able to login at all.

 

I can't even open a support ticket because you need to log in in order to do so.  What the hell is going on here???  I don't have access to any of my info and no way to regain access.

 

We need help, LastPass!!!!

Re: Authenticator Reset

LastPass is demanding that my brother reset his Google Authenticator app.  (I don’t use MFA so it hasn’t been a problem for me personally.)

 

But in order to log into this support page, I was required to reset my password for logme.in

 

WHAT is going on!?!

Re: Authenticator Reset

I have the exact same issue and cannot log in anywhere! I first though I (or LastPass) was hacked but I'm relieved to find others with the same problem.

@AshC I clicked the contact button on the page you mentioned in another post but all it says after providing your email is "Your support request has been submitted. Our team will follow up with customers eligible for support through the email address associated with your LastPass account. For additional resources visit support.lastpass.com."

I have the free plan but if I am not 'eligible' for support for a problem that LastPass caused with their security update that locked me out of everything, rendering me unable to work, that's crazy! Please get back to me/us asap!
