AMO is https://addons.mozilla.org which is the official Mozilla extensions site. You'll find the development channel at the bottom of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/ . Yes.
Great, now I only need to edit my Norton IDSafe csv file. Thank you for the link. I never noticed the development channel before!
Quick question as you guys know everything. Lastpass support said I ONLY need to add a blank line after the header in a IDSafe CSV. I did that part using Notepad++. OK, I will try that. I am glad, as adding a column in Excel causes URL issues as Excel has a 255 character limit! Will Lastpass allow me to create a NEW free account while keeping my free "test" account? I ask as I created an account so I could post on their forum...but now that I want to try real data I want a new email and very secure password. I would like to keep the original test account for a bit to post to the forum under that name. I would also assume this is all good with 4.1.2a for Firefox!
I see they finally updated the installer along with the updated 4.1.2 add-on for IE. I was worried I would have to dump LastPass when it was sold, but so far so good. So far.
Great, I will go with 3.3.1 for now. But when I d/l the whole program it is 4.0 and I assume the Firefox addin will also be 4.0 or am I wrong?
Yeah I still do not get why I should switch to it when LP itself works with google authenticator which works on many other sites too.
I don't think they're saying anything other than this is extending what they already do for 2FA. Apart from the generated codes which are fine for what they're intended for, I am deeply opposed to 2FA relying on mobile apps, SMS and biometrics. But that's just me, I seem to be fighting the tide of complacency and convenience. Each to their own - as long as I have the option to do it "properly" according to me (sadly this is not the case for other sites who want to own your soul by having it tied to your smartphone).
I tend to agree. Yes, 2FA provides higher security. But what happens if your smartphone is compromised, lost or stolen? To me 2FA with the Grid offered in the Lastpass settings is still the best alternative. Well, not really in terms of convenience. But I can print out the Grid several times and store them in a safe or bank vault. So, if I happen to spill some coffee over the "original" print-out - well, no big deal This solution simply provides higher peace of mind to me. But each to his own.
Well, I don't have a spy- woops smartphone. And worse still if your biometrics are compromised, degraded or stolen. A lot of those authentication schemes are wheezes by the provider to put legal liability for loss onto you, and to be able to market even more to you.
Well, I did go with 4.1.2 for Firefox and all is OK. I also imported my IDSafe data, but first did an edit of the CSV that Norton generated. So far, so good and I am on Firefox 45.
The advantage of the LastPass mobile Authenticator over Google Authenticator is you only need to approve the login request; it's not necessary to enter a numeric code into the browser. In other words it's more convenient. Note there is Duo Security which is equally convenient, but more complicated to setup plus it means an additional account with another provider.
I didn't like v4 much, mostly because of my hardened settings. So I went back to 3.3.1 and am a happy camper again.
I'm a big fan of the grid too. I just think it's more secure than the phone. My phone stays in my pocket, and could fall out, be forgotten, stolen, hacked, etc. The grid is on paper safe and sound in a few different locations and physically more protected than the phone.
Nothing I changed committed. Things such as remembering email address, loading vault after login and hiding recently used directory in site list. Some time after I made my post, I managed to track down the cause of this evil. I have "Temporary Internet Files" directory included in Secure Folders, which is set to "Read Only". AppGuard also lists this directory as Private (Deny). This wouldn't have been an issue if I removed the entry or entered Firefox as a Trusted App from Secure Folders and/or changed Privacy Setting for Firefox to "No" in AppGuard. I think this use of Secure Folders was also preventing me from making Firefox my default browser.
