While not evidenced in my video since I was able to login with 3 attempts, Incognito is not a full solution. Incognito made may, or may not, fix the login loop. Having enable/disabled/deactivate both features as allowed, I'm not able to isolate the issue to one, the other, or any combination thereof with my meager skills. As a precaution, LastPass says its also rolled out safeguards to extensions for other browsers.Sometime around the the first of the year 2020, the account login workflow begin initiating endless loops, at least in Google Chrome.Īs a starting point, I believe the endless login loop is somehow related to the Google Chrome password manager or the LastPass extension for Google Chrome.
