LastPass Authenticator

gamed rating

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.

About the rating

Store average 4.65 vs text average 2.11 a 2.5-point gap with only 17% five-stars. Real user sentiment is strongly negative: codes disappear, migration is a multi-step ordeal, the app loops on authorization. The high store rating clearly reflects an earlier version of the product.

Strengths

What users love

  • Push notification on computer login is convenient
  • ICloud backup works for users who have it set up correctly.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • Loss of all codes without warning
  • Extremely difficult migration between devices
  • The app gets stuck in an approval loop
  • Stage Manager broken on iPad.

Who it is for

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