Many users have attempted several times to install LastPass on Chrome and the plugin is failing to show up or activate.

They have a LastPass vault and login, but the plug-in is needed to make the vault interact with both username and password boxes.

Others think they created a LastPass account and installed the web browser extension. In spite of that, the LastPass icon doesn’t show in their web browser toolbar.

So it seems that the number of problems with LastPass installation on Chrome has increased lately.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’re getting the hang of this behavior and helping you address the issue.

What can I do if LastPass won’t install on Chrome?

1. Reinstall or update the web Chrome extension

Are you running an old version of the LastPass plugin? Waste no more time and get the latest version of the LastPass web browser extension for Chrome.

This efficient and intuitive password manager makes it easy to store passwords and sensitive data.

2. Check that LastPass isn’t disabled from view in the extension bar

  • On your computer, open Chrome.
  • Select the three vertical dots next to the profile icon.
  • Click More tools, then click Extensions.
  • Copy and paste chrome://extensions into the navigation bar in Chrome.
  • Simply turn the setting on to enable LastPass.

Remember that extensions are small software programs that tailor Chrome functionality to your preferences. Let’s assume that LastPass is only listed but not enabled in your browser’s extensions.

So you have to change that right away if you want the LastPass icon to display in your web browser toolbar.

If you happen to find that LastPass is not listed at all, try reinstalling it. Go to the LastPass extension and simply click Add to Chrome. You’ll then see the new extension in your browser as a button on the toolbar.
