How do I reset my Master Password using a Recovery One Time Password for LastPass?

A Recovery One Time Password is something that is created for you automatically when you log in to LastPass via the web browser extension, and is not something you can write down.

When using this Master Password recovery method, the system emails you a link that provides you with the ability to reset your Master Passwordonly when used on the specific device and web browser it matches by using the Recovery One Time Password (which was created when you logged in to the LastPass web browser extension and stored invisibly in the browser).

  1. Navigate to https://lastpass.com/recover.php.
  2. Enter your email address, then click Continue.
  3. How you proceed depends on whether or not you previously enabled SMS recovery:
    • If you previously enabled SMS recovery to reset a forgotten Master Password, LastPass sends a 6-digit verification code to your mobile device. Enter the code, then click Verify, then proceed to Step #4.
    • If you did not enable SMS recovery but did enable a security email, LastPass will send an email to your secondary security email address (or your account email, if no secondary was set up), and you can continue by clicking the link in the email., then proceed to Step #4.
  4. Select Click to Recover Account.
  5. When prompted, click Yes to use a one-time password for account recovery.
  6. Click OK to proceed (if prompted that Account Recovery has been detected and that you must immediately change your Master Password).
    Troubleshooting: If you encounter a message that 'LastPass account recovery has failed because your current browser didn't save account recovery data on this computer' or that a 'Recovery One Time Password was not detected' try repeating these steps on another web browser where you have logged in to LastPass. For additional information, please see troubleshooting information here.
  7. Enter a new Master Password and a password hint (recommended), then click Confirm.
  8. Click OK to proceed with logging out.
  9. Log back in using your new Master Password.
You have successfully reset your Master Password.
What to do next: (Recommended)

It is strongly recommended that you perform the following steps immediately after updating your Master Password in order to create new Recovery One Time Passwords:

  1. Log out of LastPass on every computer and/or mobile device where you have installed and accessed your LastPass Vault. You can check your active sessions for all devices.
  2. Log back in with your new Master Password.
For each computer and/or device where this is done, a new Recovery One Time Password is created, which can be used for account recovery if your PasswordMaster Password is ever forgotten. What to do next: (Optional)

Changing or resetting your Master Password will invalidate all one-time passwords that you generated before the change occurred (as it requires your Vault to be re-encrypted). This means that you will need to generate new OTPs after a Master Password change, as all OTPs you generated previously will no longer be listed. Learn how to generate new one-time passwords.

Use Temporary (One-Time) Passwords

LastPass provides you with the ability to generate one-time passwords (OTPs) in which each password will only work for one login session. This means that even if someone else gets access to a previously used OTP, they will not be able to use it to log on to your LastPass account.

About one-time passwords

One-time passwords (OTPs) can be used if you want to access LastPass from a public computer and do not want to enter your Master Password because someone else may be able to access it (using a keylogger to capture your typed keys or other malware). They are also handy if you need to access your LastPass Vault but you do not know what kind of security is implemented on the computer you are going to use.

How Do I Recover My Master Password

A one-time password is something you generate after you have logged in to your account, and is something you can write down. Please be aware that one-time passwords are not sent via email or Customer Care, they are generated directly by you.

To use the one-time passwords, you generate a list of temporary passwords ahead of time, and cross them off (if they are printed or stored elsewhere) as they are used each time you log in to your account. You can also invalidate OTPs if you are concerned that they have become compromised. Please note that you can only log in with a one-time password from the one-time password login page at https://lastpass.com/otp.php.

CAUTION: Changing or resetting your Master Password will invalidate all one-time passwords that you generated before the change occurred (as it requires your Vault to be re-encrypted). This means that you will need to generate new OTPs after a Master Password change, as all OTPs you generated previously will no longer be listed.
