A while back I had an issue with Lastpass settings not being properly enabled on my account. I discovered that all settings were rendered, and in order to disable them they used 'display: none' rather than not rendering them on the dashboard at all. The fix was for me to disable Display: none and it gave me access to the feature in a limited way.

After reaching out to support with screenshots, they fixed the issue and I gained full access, but it is clear to me that Lastpass uses 'display: none' as feature gating and that their software is absolute garbage.

This was 100% intentional on Lastpass' side

I love it when web sites do stuff like this. Makes it so easy to reverse engineer and circumvent their little controls just like you did.

Yeah, it's probably some homie in engineering maliciously compiling with the directions of some wannabe MBA who hates their customers and couldn't keep a business running if it was handed to them on a silver platter.

Be the programmer homie
