Apple has made some significant updates to Safari, some of which have affected how LastPass works. The native SIMBL extension is no longer compatible due to the changes to the browser, so we took advantage of some of the new features of their extension interface to make our Javascript extension much better.


Once complete, copy-paste https://lastpass.com/lastpass.safariextz to Safari and press "Enter" to run the installer. Ensure that extensions are enabled in the Safari Gear menu - Preferences - Extensions tab if the LastPass asterisk button doesn't appear after you complete installation.
Known compatibility issues with Safari 5.1:
- Basic authentication logins are no longer supported - we are investigating possible workarounds.
- The login state of the browser extension cannot be shared with the LastPass extension on other browsers.
- Copy username and copy password do not work.
We believe our new Safari extension is a big step forward in our browser integration with Safari, and with the LastPass user experience as a whole. Our intent is not only to give LastPass a makeover, but to simplify access to your data and reduce the number of clicks you need to make to get the job done.
We know it's a big change for our users, and we welcome your reactions or suggestions via comments below or in an email to support@lastpass.com.
Thanks,
The LastPass Team
