@superphysics said in Lastpass:
We will surely provide feedback to LastPass about this
Has anyone done this yet? It would be interesting to hear back from LastPass about this, since Bitwarden had an issue where they were not aware of Vivaldi and needed to make a change to be able to work with the new browser. Even if Vivaldi does have an issue in its code, fixing that issue may not make LastPass work if they have the same issue that Bitwarden had.
-
Yes, I contacted LastPass. Their view was that Vivaldi isn't a supported browser and so they won't accept a bug report. I think they might be thinking of the desktop version (and the LastPass extension) and so I've gone back to them explaining that I'm referring to the Android browser and Autofill "service".
I could be wrong and they're just saying "Tough! we don't support Vivaldi on Android" I suppose at least they replied.
-
I've had further confirmation from LastPass. They will only support Chrome (or the LastPass browser) on Android. So they won't look into a bug report. Looks like neither LastPass or Vivaldi will look into this anytime soon, for different reasons.
-
Who says that Vivaldi won't be taking this up?
-
In another thread it was said that as Vivaldi is developed by a small team, this will be dealt with eventually. The impression was given that it wouldn't be soon as the issue has been known about for sometime now.
-
@prking Thanks for the info and pushing for this fix. I don't personally use any third party for managing my passwords, I've developed my own private solution, so I can't test any of these things or provide the various dev teams with useful bug reports, etc.
If it is something that can be fixed by Vivaldi, I expect they will do so. Maybe not for the initial release out of beta, but a lot of people are using these password managers and for those that do it is an essential part of their workflow. I would think this issue is a rather high priority for them. It sucks that LastPass won't support it though, at least Bitwarden is.
-
Just putting in another vote for this. I was so excited to have Vivaldi on Android with sync working, but it is much less usable without LastPass (I would say unusable, but there's a very clunky workaround of switching to LastPass, searching for the site, copying the password... Not ideal!)
So I keep opening Vivaldi, then thinking for a second, sighing, and switching back to Chrome. Bummer.As others have said, password managers are pretty essential to using the web nowadays, and LastPass is a pretty big player. Hope this can be fixed sooner rather than later!
-
Incidentally, just to confirm that I also raised a bug with Vivaldi last week. If I hear anything I'll report back.

Opera Touch has the same issue (Android 9 in my case). If you read the last comment on this blog post, Amber Steel who's apparently a LastPass employee, wrote in June:
Thanks, our team is aware and plans to fix.
It seems to contradict the info you've been given. That said, it's October now, and it's still not working with Opera Touch either, so the fix is nothing but empty words for now. Maybe someone from Vivaldi can contact her directly?
This is the one issue preventing me from making Vivaldi my primary Android browser. Very annoying.
Anyway, if everyone gave the LastPass app a low rating in Google Play, listing lack of integration with Vivaldi browser as the reason for the low rating, it may help get their attention.
-
Here is the FAQ article I was pointed to that shows LastPass only supports their own browser or Chrome:
https://support.logmeininc.com/lastpass/help/lastpass-for-android-lp060001
I don't think this can be the whole story though, because Autofill is a system function? It would be good if someone in the know could clarify.

bitwarden v2.2.6 support vivaldi
-
@bigbighill As do other password managers like Lastpass, Enpass, 1Password, etc.
The problem discussed here is that Vivaldi Android does something with passing url's in a way that these password managers cannot pick up.
Or are you suggesting that you've got it all running nicely on your Android phone, in which case, would you care to explain how? -

I think it's up to Vivaldi devs to make it work, since LastPass devs won't support it and LastPass works fine with Firefox for android so they made it work without help from lastpass apparently.
-
@donlexos I don't use lastpass, but it sounds like they're trying to match the open URL to one in a database.
It's possible that lastpass doesn't know how to get the current URL from vivaldi.
Given that vivaldi has just released, Lastpass may need to update. I would suggest contacting their help page - they may be able to explain this better.
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/autofill-optimize#java
Vivaldi finding a way to pass info from webpages to autofill would help also. Vivaldi could detect password prompts in browser and pass information to autofill.

@donlexos hello i read a post https://techifacts.com/best-password-managers-2020/ where i found some other alternatives of LastPass. Also try premium feature of LastPass which have 24/7 tech support and a vast cloud space which can store data safe.
-
Looking forward to see this issue being fixed.
-
Even Dashlane is not supported by Vivaldi on android. I have tried Brave, edge, firefox on android and every browser supports it. The issue is with Vivaldi.
-
I use Bitwarden. It works pretty well with a lot of websites but I have two problems:
- Bitwarden pop-up doesn't appear with login pages that show only one form field at a time (Amazon, Google, ...). It's like if it doesn't understand it is a login form (on Firefox it works well)
- With Vivaldi snapshot when I tap the Bitwarden pop-up it doesn't get the website URL (Bitwarden thinks he has to autocomplete an app and not a website). This problem doesn't occur with Vivaldi Beta.
-
This problem doesn't occur with Vivaldi Beta.
I believe that BitWarden had to make a change in order to recognize the Vivaldi Beta, when the beta first came out BW had issues working with Vivaldi and I recall something about them releasing a fix. It sounds like they only made that change for the one browser.
So you probably want to bring this up with them as well.

Vivaldi is out of beta now. I'm loving the builtin tracker/ad blocking feature and general performance. The only thing holding me back from using it daily is the broken LastPass integration. On my device it's still reporting "Vivaldi" to LastPass, instead of the site's URL.
