Wow, that is interesting.  It turns out that using the Ubuntu browser
Lastpass's website returns that "android:" string as the bookmarklet,
whereas using a normal webbrowser it returns a much longer "javascript:"
string.  Seems like this is some kind of optimisation introduced on
LastPass's end and it's mistakenly identified the Ubuntu browser as an
Android browser.

I think this means that if I copied the correct "javascript:" string
from my computer into a bookmark, it'd probably work.  But I can't
figure out how I'd do that.  Any suggestions?

Meanwhile I guess I'll complain to LastPass...

Title:
  LastPass bookmarklet not supported in ubuntu-touch browser

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  LastPass offers a bookmarklet feature, a little piece of javascript
  you can run from the address bar which fills in passwords for you.
  This is the only convenient way to use a password manager like this on
  a device that isn't natively supported by their plugins.  I used to
  use this feature all the time on my Nokia N900.

  The way it should work is:

  * Log in to the LastPass website, and in the "Tools" menu select "Bookmarklets"
  * Long press on "LastPass Fill!" and tap "Bookmark link"
  * Navigate to a website to log in to
  * On the address bar, clear the address and type "lastpass"
  * Bookmarklet will be suggested as a bookmark with a star icon (it starts "android:lpfill...")
  * Tap that bookmark
  * It should execute the javascript and fill in username and password (after authenticating with LastPass)

  In fact after tapping the bookmark it does nothing.
