LastPass says its almost 12-hour outage yesterday was caused by a bad update to its Google Chrome extension.
The impact did not go unnoticed, with LastPass customers venting their frustration on Reddit and Twitter about the outage and their inability to retrieve their saved credentials and log in to sites.
At approximately 8 PM ET, LastPass said they resolved the issue, stating that a bad update to the Chrome extension put too much stress on their servers.
"Our engineers have identified that an update to our chrome browser extension earlier today inadvertently caused load issues on our backend infrastructure," reads the LastPass status page.
"Won't work in Chrome since the last update. I can access my vault, but cannot launch any of the sites I have in it. Clicking the"Launch" button does nothing!!," reads a review on the Chrome web store.
Google Chrome change that weakens ad blockers begins June 3rd. Microsoft Copilot fixed worldwide after 24 hour outage.
