What is LastPass?
LastPass is a password manager that generates, encrypts, and autofills logins, passkeys, credit cards, and secure notes across browsers and devices, built on a zero-knowledge architecture where the master password and encryption happen locally, so LastPass's servers only ever store encrypted vault data. The free tier restricts a user to syncing on either computers or mobile devices, not both simultaneously — a limitation introduced in 2021 that pushes most users who want full cross-device access toward Premium. Premium adds unlimited device-type syncing, 1GB of encrypted file storage, emergency access, and dark web monitoring that alerts when a stored email or password appears in a known breach. LastPass disclosed two connected security incidents in 2022 in which attackers accessed encrypted customer vault backups and, separately, an employee's home computer used to access cloud storage keys; the company maintains the zero-knowledge encryption held, but the breaches materially damaged trust and are the top-cited reason competitors like Bitwarden and 1Password gained switchers afterward. Business tiers (Teams, Business, Business Max) layer in an admin console, shared folders, SSO, and — at the Business Max tier — SaaS Monitoring and SaaS Protect for tracking unsanctioned app usage across an organization.
LastPass is a cloud-based password manager that generates, stores, and autofills passwords, passkeys, and secure notes, encrypted client-side under a zero-knowledge model so LastPass itself cannot read vault contents. The free plan limits sync to one device type (computers or mobile, not both); Premium runs around $3/month billed annually and unlocks cross-device sync, 1GB of encrypted file storage, and dark web monitoring, while Families covers up to six people for around $4/month, and business plans (Teams, Business, Business Max) add an admin console, SSO, and SaaS app monitoring at the top tier. LastPass disclosed two connected security breaches in 2022 that exposed encrypted customer vault backups, and it holds a 4.6/5 rating from 2,786 reviews on Capterra alongside a markedly worse Trustpilot reputation, where reviewers cite billing, cancellation, and post-breach trust issues as the dominant complaints.
Standout feature: Broad platform coverage across every major browser, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with a mature enterprise feature set (SSO, SaaS Monitoring) at the Business Max tier.
Biggest weakness: LastPass disclosed two connected 2022 security incidents in which attackers accessed encrypted customer vault backups, and Trustpilot reviewers report ongoing billing, cancellation, and support-access problems; the free tier also restricts sync to a single device type (computers or mobile, not both).
Pros
- Broad platform support across every major browser, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
- Dark web monitoring alerts when a stored email or password appears in a known breach.
- Business Max tier adds SaaS Monitoring and SaaS Protect for tracking unsanctioned app usage org-wide.
- Family plan covers up to 6 individual Premium accounts under a single admin-managed bill.
Cons
- Disclosed two connected security breaches in 2022 that exposed encrypted customer vault data, a lasting trust issue competitors still use in switching campaigns.
- Free tier restricts syncing to a single device type (computers or mobile), not both at once.
- Trustpilot reviewers report recurring billing, cancellation, and support-access complaints, a sharp contrast to its higher Capterra rating.
- Renewal pricing has a documented history of jumping above the promotional first-year rate.
