password manager · LastPass US LP
LastPass
Well-known password manager with a six-person family plan, passkeys and passwordless login, marked by a 2022 breach.
In short
- Premium costs $36 a year ($3 a month), billed yearly2.
- Families costs $48 a year for six people, each with a private vault2,3.
- The free plan works on one device type only: computers or phones, not both1.
- A 2022 breach exposed a copy of customer vaults, and the UK regulator fined LastPass UK Ltd £1.2 million in December 20259,10.
- On desktop you can sign in with a FIDO2 key, Windows Hello or Touch ID instead of the master password8.
LastPass suits families who want a six-person plan at a low price, with passkeys and emergency access2,3,7,1. It names ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications5. The catch is its 2022 breach, in which a copy of customer vaults was stolen with website addresses unencrypted, and a free plan limited to one device type9,1.
Best for: Families who want a low-cost six-person plan.
