Think of the browser extension as a tool that follows you from site to site helping you save and fill passwords. This helpful tool makes it so easy to save all your favorite sites to your vault automatically and log you in to those sites as you visit them.

Please note that if a user's status changes from federated to non-federated (for example, due to a master password reset), the limitations listed above will be lifted but the user will still be required to adhere to UW-Madison policies that have been applied to their LastPass account. This verification process must be done from every browser, desktop app, and/or mobile app that will be used for federated login on the new device(s).
