An editorial reading of the saved reviews

An authenticator that's supposed to make login easier but in practice makes it harder: codes disappear, moving to a new phone requires simultaneous access to the old phone and a computer, and push authorization gets stuck in an endless loop.

What people use it for

Only single-device users with a working LastPass ecosystem everyone else should use Authy or a built-in authenticator.

What reviews praise

Push notification on computer login is convenient, iCloud backup works for users who have it set up correctly.

What reviews complain about

Loss of all codes without warning, extremely difficult migration between devices, the app gets stuck in an approval loop, Stage Manager broken on iPad.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Moving from old phone to new phone isn't just a task, it is a full time job. Last pass has turned 2 factor authentication into 5 factor authentication when you include the need to log into my account on the PC in addition to the authenticator and the LP app on both phones.

Just all my codes that I just entered disappeared
