LastPass may occasionally throw a strange “Invalid response” error when you’re editing password details. Interestingly enough, this error seems to affect Chrome more frequently than other browsers. If you already refreshed your browser and restarted your computer, but you’re still getting the same error, follow the troubleshooting steps below.

Why Do I Get Invalid Response from LastPass?
Update Your Browser and Disable All Extensions
Make sure your browser is not causing this error. If you’re running a Chromium-based browser, go to More options (the three dots), click on Help and select About. Update your browser to the latest version.
Then, disable all your extensions except LastPass. Maybe one of your browser extensions is interfering with LastPass. Click again on More options, select More tools and then click on Extensions. Manually toggle off your extensions.
By the way, if you’re using a VPN, temporarily disable the tool if you don’t really need to be behind a VPN.
Switch to a Different Browser
“Invalid response” errors usually affect Chrome users. If you’re looking for a quick solution, switch to a different browser and check if you can edit your password details. Many users confirmed these errors rarely affect Mozilla Firefox. Launch Firefox and check if you can successfully complete the action that initially triggered an invalid response on Chrome.
