LastPass 1.72 now supports the Opera web browser in addition to Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Premium account holders can also now download LastPass to their Windows 7 phone in addition to other mobile platforms. Other premium-only new features include support for fingerprint and smart card authentication devices.
LastPass 1.72 has also been tweaked in other areas, most notably in terms of improving both its stability and performance in Internet Explorer 9. It also handles multiple Google logins where just a password is required better, and can also save usernames by default on banking websites where passwords are split over multiple pages.
LastPass 1.72 also extends support to the Galician language, and there's also improved support for form filling in Russian, Chinese, Polish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Korean languages too. The update is automatically applied to existing LastPass users, who will be notified of the update through their browser when it's complete.
LastPass can be installed as a separate browser extension (visit your browser's extensions marketplace) or is available as a standalone Windows application in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions that includes IE, Firefox and Chrome extensions.
