As with most Android apps, it was only a matter of time: Password manager LastPass has gotten a Material Design update. The visual overhaul is part of an overall move to simplify the app and make it easier to navigate through.

As often seen with Material design, there’s now a floating action button at the lower right hand corner of the screen. Once you press it, a pop up menu will appear with options to add a new Site, Secure Note or Form Fill profile.
There’s the expected left-hand drawer that you pull in with a swipe for more options, such as the ability to toggle between your stored sites, notes and forms. It also allows you to add and edit Shared Folders to collaborate on secure documents.
