Av8rix: I don't use Private Browsing, but I just tested it out and it looks like what jpenny84 means is you can use LP within the login forms on the page when using private browsing. If the LP icons do not appear in the login form, then use the right-click context menu to fill-in the login forms (right-click on a form field >> select LastPass >> select Autofill >> select [site]). This will populate the login form with your ID and passwords.

Hey, that works...on most sites. Tedious workaround, though. I don't have my LP sites bookmarked....as regular FF bookmarks so have to just google name of sites, then enter them, then do the routine you suggested.

So, given that the LP menu bar icon doesn't work in private mode, you won't be able to access your vault via the toolbar icon in private browsing. Therefore, if this is a problem, you may want to bookmark your lastpass vault login page to your Bookmarks toolbar for convenience. I believe the universal Vault login URL would be https://lastpass.com/?ac=1

Well, that doesn't work. I can bookmark my vault OK and can access the vault function in non-private window. However, in the private window, launching that bookmark just brings up a blank window with "LastPass" displayed. Whatever, your first suggestion sort of works and I can live with that until the devs fix the coding....if they do.

Anyway, THANKS AGAIN!!!

Hmmm. Interesting. Not sure why. It works for me.

Well, it works for me now too. Thanks to you!!! I bookmarked my vault wrong. I bookmarked the URL address that was showing when I displayed my own vault. Don't know why that didn't work but I tried it again with the address that you posted (https://lastpass.com/?ac=1). And that worked fine!

But I still hope that the devs can revise the code so that we don't need a workaround.

So, posting this message to you from a private window with LastPass fully functional there!! Thanks again!!

IMHO, these workarounds should be considered temporary, at best. This private window issue needs to be addressed, and soon.
