LASTPASS FREE STEALS THE SHOW
LastPass’s free version packs more features than almost
any other free password manager. Secure sharing, an
actionable password strength report, and no limitations
on the number of entries you can create are uncommon

Premium and Family plans add notable sharing and

those reasons compelling enough to start paying. One
trend we’ve noticed is that some free features move to
paid tiers. For instance, Emergency Access features are
no longer available in the free version, and folder
sharing has moved to the Family Plan.
Still, LastPass earns an Editors’ Choice award based on
the merits of its free version and a premium tier that
includes features consistent with other top password
managers. Keeper Password Manager & Digital Vault,
Dashlane, and MyKi are our other Editors’ Choices for
password managers. All those services have extensive
features and are easy to use.
