Pros and cons
What LastPass does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.
Pros
- Well-known brand, widely used for a long time
- Simple, accessible interface for beginners
- Family sharing features available
Cons
- History of major security breaches, including one in 2022
- Free version now limited to one device type
- Bitwarden offers a more complete, open-source free alternative
LastPass: when it makes sense.
Bitwarden or 1Password are today more solid choices for a fresh start.
Keep if
You've already used LastPass for a long time with no issues. You want a well-known brand and a simple interface
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€3) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
The company's security history concerns you. You want a more complete free alternative — Bitwarden is objectively better here
- You use it less than once a month
- A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
