Google’s New Accessibility Services Policy Will Have No Impact on LastPass

Google has begun to crack down on apps that appear to misuse accessibility services. The technology giant has introduced a new policy to restrict accessibility services. App developers should now justify using these services to achieve their intended purpose. However, if you do not do so, you'll most likely need to remove the ability to use these services or your app will be removed from the Play Store. As a result of this operation, several password managers were used that used accessibility services to autofill passwords, copy content to the clipboard, and automate tasks.

LastPass, the leading password management service on Freemium, is working closely with Google to troubleshoot the current issue. Do not worry - company claims to have no immediate impact on Android users. We are confident that all app development partners, including LastPass, are focused on providing a "long-term solution" to meet your accessibility needs.

With the release of Android Oreo, we provided a formal way to store passwords and autocomplete passwords in the operating system. This is supported in the beta version of LastPass, so users who are using the latest version can create passwords as well as fill out important payment information and details such as credit card and address. This basically allows LastPass users to save a chunk of their time and effort. However, considering that the Android 8.0 Oreo rollout is so slow at 0.3% of the latest version of the device so far, most LastPass users will have to wait quite a while before taking advantage of Google's new password management technology.
