The only good thing I have to say about lastpass is that they allowed you to allowlist countries you wanted a login from. Like calling your credit card company, I'd login and add a country if I was traveling.


That's an example of what I was talking about though. I set LastPass to only let me sign in from the US and suddenly I was locked out at home because it thought my home IP address was non-US despite definitely being in the US at the time.


Yeah security is always a tradeoff of convenience and control. If I were in your shoes i would have allow listed the IP. either switch to my phone, went to a coffeeshop, or a friends house, or the library, or the gym, or mcDonalds, or Target...
