The LastPass password manager requires the 'draw over other apps' permission.
Within less than a day after giving permission, the permission is silently retracted.
This is a Miui bug, but perhaps you can fix it.

Firmware: Xiaomi.eu 8.2.2.0
Device: Mi 5
LastPass: 4.2.507

Go to Installed Apps, LastPass, Scroll down to other permissions, Enable (Accept) the Display pop-up window permission
 
That works.
Still, something is wrong here, I think.
LastPass asks for 'Draw over other apps' permission, but what it really needs but doesn't ask is 'Display pop-up window' permission?
So is this a LastPass bug?

The strange thing is, 'Draw over other apps' works as well, temporarily.
Lastpass really displays its pop-up window without having 'Display pop-up window' permission.

As far i know, MIUI changed the "Draw over other apps" permissions to the "Display pop-up window". You can read some threads on MIUI forum for reference. Sorry but i can't post a link, but you can search on google with keyword : "MIUI draw over other apps"
