Paying also gets you extra security features, including emergency access, advanced multi-factor authentication, a security dashboard for analyzing password integrity and monitoring the dark web and access to email support. Premium users get the same features as free users, plus unlimited syncing between device types, one-to-many sharing and 1GB of file storage. LastPass's Premium plan is $36 per year, almost exactly the same price as competitors such as 1Password ($35.88) and Keeper ($34.99). There's no limit to the number of devices you can sync within your chosen category, but you'll need to upgrade if you want to access your passwords on both your phone and your computer. Free users are now limited to one device type: Computer (desktops and laptops) or mobile (phones, tablets and smart watches). But it's not easy to sync passwords from your computer to mobile devices, since KeePass doesn't store passwords in the cloud, and its iOS version is now deprecated.LastPass's free plan used to allow unlimited syncing across different device types, but this changed in March 2021. If you're a bit more tech savvy, KeePass is another option. Dashlane also has a free version but it only works on one device. BitWarden offers a free tier which is comparable to what LastPass used to offer. Its cheapest offering is for $2.99 a month, so essentially the same price as LastPass Premium. We like 1Password, but there's no free tier.

If you choose the latter, there's plenty of options. Switch to a different password manager.You will not be able to sync between them, so you'll have to do a lot of manual work whenever you change a password. Have two separate accounts: one for mobile devices, one for computers.Stay with the free tier and choose what type of devices you are going to be able to access and use LastPass from.What can LastPass users do now? Here are your options: This means you really only have to remember the password or passphrase that unlocks the password manager. Not only does using one make it harder for hackers to hack into your accounts, it also makes your life easier as password managers help you create and store unique passwords. As we explain in the Motherboard Guide to Not Getting Hacked, using a password manager is a must.
