Since LastPass has an export function, switching away from it is theoretically easier. I believe thatвЂ™s critical, both for backing up and not being locked in. One of the reasons I originally moved to LastPass was because the solution I had been using had no export function. One word of advice: if you move, make sure whatever alternative you choose will let you take your passwords with you. PC Magazine has a recent comparison of free password managers that includes several alternatives. Review them carefully.Д«itwarden has a good reputation, and its free plan seems comparable. Some free plans, such as that offered by Dashlane, are more restrictive than LastPassвЂ™s new plan.

If free is important, your choices will be limited. I donвЂ™t yet have a specific recommendation for an alternative. Like backing up, password management is important enough to pay for. At this writing, thatвЂ™s $36 USD per year.

While I donвЂ™t like the way they handled this change, I believe LastPass is worth the upgrade to an annual paid subscription. IвЂ™m a fan of LastPass, and use it across all my devices constantly.

You use LastPass Free on both PC and mobile platforms.

LastPass Free will no longer support using both platform types on the same account: itвЂ™s one or the other, but not both.

LastPass Free will continue to be free if you use it only on mobile devices and tablets.

LastPass Free will continue to be free if you use it only on PCs 1 (laptops or desktops).

In their blog post What can I expect to change for LastPass Free on March 16, 2021?, LastPass announced a change to the terms of their free offering: it will be free on only one вЂњtypeвЂќ of platform. Continuing to use a password manager remains an important part of overall security. If youвЂ™re impacted, paying is my recommendation, but you can also switch to other free solutions or live with the new restriction. LastPassвЂ™s free tier will be restricted to a single platform: PC or mobile.
