LastPass
FreemiumThe original cloud password manager — now with a complicated reputation
🔑Password ManagersAbout LastPass
LastPass was the dominant password manager for a decade before suffering two significant data breaches in 2022 that exposed encrypted vault data. The company has since made security improvements, but trust in the brand remains damaged among security professionals. For non-technical users who have used LastPass for years without switching, it remains functional. The free tier now limits users to one device type (mobile or desktop), pushing most users to paid plans at $3/month. Security researchers generally recommend migrating to 1Password or Bitwarden.
