To replace the dedicated LastPass app for macOS, the company is releasing a new client for the Mac that’s based on a web app. While other apps, like 1Password, updated to implement the new system with their native apps, LastPass has decided to just remove support for the old native app entirely. The company cites changes made by Apple in Safari, and says the switchover is happening to “provide the best experience for our customers.”Īccording to the email, LastPass is making the change to “provide the best experience for our customers,” citing changes made by Apple in Safari 12 in 2018, which were designed to push developers toward offering browser extensions through native Mac App Store apps instead of the soon to be deprecated Safari Extension Gallery. The Verge reports that LastPass has sent emails to users of the old Mac app informing them of the switch. The new app is on the right in the above image.

Support for the dedicated LastPass app for Mac will be dropped, with users being migrated to a new “Mac app” that is essentially a web app in a wrapper.
