Security alternatives
LastPass alternatives
LastPass has a usable free plan, low prices, strong certifications and a new Plus plan with a Windows-only VPN, but its 2022 vault breach, and older accounts left on weak encryption settings, still weigh on it.
Why you might look elsewhere
Our LastPass review noted these limitations:
- The 2022 breach exposed encrypted vaults of more than 25 million users
- Older accounts may still use far weaker encryption settings than new ones
- The Plus VPN works on Windows only for now
