Should you be concerned about LastPass uploading your passwords to its server?

FYI copy password works after installing the binary add-in on Win and Linux at least. Why this is necessary I have no idea however.

It was because of changes to Firefox's extension system. That said, communication about this was suboptimal. I would have liked for the UI to inform me of the binary option to get back that functionality.

I moved to 1PasswordX for this feature alone. No binary required.

I have LastPass with binary component installed and copying passwords doesn't work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with LP support confirming the issue without ETA.

I'm using Firefox on windows, I don't have binary component installed but Copying Password works for ME. Here's something you could try:

Go to a site with saved passwords e.g. http://news.ycombinator.com

Lastpass icon changes to show you have an entry. Click the icon, click "Show matched sites." Hover over the entry and you'll see three buttons: Copy username, Copy Password and More options.

I'm assuming these buttons don't work for you. Right-click instead on the entry and you should see a menu with the following items: Autofill, Copy username, Copy password, Copy URL, Go to URL, Edit, Delete.

Try the copy password entry. Hope it works for you.
