The web app looks different and has new features. So I logged into LastPass for the first time in many years and was gratified to see all of my passwords are still there. Writing this series of reviews on password managers is welcome because it gives me the opportunity to see how the landscape has changed, what features are now being offered by full-featured apps, and which program best meets my needs. Since then I’ve been using Apple’s iCloud Keychain which allows me to sync my passwords to all of my devices for free, something LastPass’ free plan didn’t do at the time but does now. Not all password managers are so flexible. Changing my Google identity would automatically switch LastPass profiles. I set up matching profiles in Google Chrome so that whichever job I was doing I had the appropriate bookmarks, open tabs, and saved passwords. I set up different user identities for my different roles, partly because I was bouncing between three or four different Google IDs. And when people moved on to a new job, there were no concerns about who they might share passwords. My managers were able to give me access to web services without me knowing the passwords, and remove access when I no longer needed it. I used LastPass for five or six years from 2009, both as an individual and a team member. My name is Adrian Try, and I’ve been using password managers for over a decade. Evaluate Your Passwords with Security Challenge
Securely Store Private Documents and Information Generate Strong Unique Passwords for Each Website What I Don’t Like: The Premium plan doesn’t offer enough value. I recommend you take advantage of the 30-day trial periods of several products to see which best meets your needs. That means it’s no longer a clear winner for those willing to pay for a password manager. With significant price increases over the last few years, LastPass’ Premium and Family plans are now comparable with 1Password, Dashlane, and a few alternatives are significantly cheaper. The ability to set up shared folders is a huge benefit here. With such a good free plan, why would you pay for Premium? While the extra storage and enhanced security may tempt some, I suspect that the Family and Team plans offer more incentive. Without paying a cent, the app will manage an unlimited number of passwords, sync them to every device, generate strong, unique passwords, store sensitive information, and let you know which passwords need to be changed. If you’re not already using a password manager, your first step might be to use a free one, and LastPass offers the best free plan I’m aware of.
