@freepam, thanks for reaching out!
Since Brave now offers support for all extensions, You can download and install Lastpass the same way you would any other extension!
You can download and install Lastpass for Brave here.
Can I see the error message? I was just able to download and install Lastpass extension in release build without issue. Does it appear in your extensions page?
I was able to download and install Lastpass on Win7 without any issues so I do not think its a Windows issue. If you’re not interested in finding the solution thats perfectly fine but if so let me see the error message you’re receiving.
To answer your question,
It’s safe, but I’m gonna cc @toml for this one for most accurate answer.
If you’re using an out-of-date version of Windows then it doesn’t really matter what password-manager you use — your machine and all the data you store on it is at risk. And if you’re having trouble installing extensions in Brave, that’s another sign that something untoward might be afoot with your machine.
The password-manager built-into Brave is perfectly robust, but it’s certainly not going to have all the bells and whistles of LastPass, 1Password, or Dashlane. Certainly, you can use it — that’s what it’s there for! But be aware that running unmaintained software is a huge risk.
