How to Add a Site to LastPass

‍

This tutorial covers how to add a site to your LastPass vault and configure it so autofill works correctly, especially important when managing multiple client portals, internal tools, or shared business accounts.

Note: Getting the site URL right is critical in a business context. If the URL does not match the site you visit, LastPass will not trigger autofill, and the credential will not appear when you need it.

1. Click the LastPass icon in your browser toolbar, then click Vault.
2. Click Add Item in the bottom-right corner of the vault, then select Password from the item type list.
3. Enter a name for the site in the Name field. For example, "Salesforce - Acme Corp". Use a name that identifies both the tool and the account so it is easy to find in a vault with multiple entries.
4. Enter the full website address in the Site URL field, for example, "https://acme.salesforce.com". LastPass uses this URL to match the credential to the correct site and trigger autofill when you log in.
5. Enter your username or email address in the Username field, then enter your password in the Password field.
6. Click the Folder dropdown and assign the item to a folder, for example, "Client Accounts" or "Internal Tools". Folders keep your vault organized when managing credentials across multiple clients or departments.
7. Click Save to store the site in your vault.
