When it comes to password manager apps, LastPass may be one of the most common solutions that come to mind. LastPass allows users to manage their passwords and ensure secured storage and retrieval of the same. You can create stronger passwords in the future without worrying if you can memorize them since these are digitally encrypted and stored using a master password.
Unfortunately, experiencing a problem when using LastPass can be worrisome. What if you can no longer access your passwords? What if you cannot log in to your account? One of the errors you may find on LastPass is the error message, “No encryption key found, forcing logout.”
It happens after you try to sign in to your LastPass account using your master password on a Mac computer or a Windows 10/11 PC. Even when you continue to click OK, the error still appears. Users experience the issue mostly on Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, or Brave.
