LastPass sharing allows you to share sites and secure notes with another LastPass user securely. 

Limitations include:

  • Syncing changes are only available between two Premium users.
  • If the sharer or sharee deletes the shared site, the share will be revoked and will disappear from the sharee’s vault.
  • Secure Notes do not offer the ability to hide the password from the sharee.

Step-by-step guide

How to share items:

Option 1: For an existing account.

  1. Hover over items to bring up more options.
  2. Use the Share icon Share to share the item with another user.

  3. Type the recipient email address. 
  4. Click Share.

  3. The Share dialog will pop up:

There are 3 ways in which to view shared pages:

  • Shared with Others: lists all sites you have shared and to whom you shared them with. (The Pending list shows who you have sent sharing invitations to but have not accepted, yet. The Accepted list shows who have already accepted shares).
  • Shared with Me: lists all sites that have been shared with you. 
  • Manage Shared Folder:  lists all Shared Folders in the Vault. 

Key concepts:

  • Resend Invitation: Resend the email invitation to the recipient
  • Cancel Invitation: Revoke and nullify the share invitation
  • Revoke Access: Revoke the share from an accepted item
