Best LastPass alternatives for 2024

Whether you’re security-conscious or have a terrible memory, using a password manager is a great way to free up brain space and secure your most important information. Unfortunately, LastPass — once one of the best password managers — has had several security incidents over the years, making customers look to other options.

This list of both free and paid password managers are solid replacements for LastPass.

Best premium alternative: Dashlane

Dashlane

As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, and if you’re going to spend money on protecting your personal information, it’s best not to cheap out. When it comes to affordable plans, Dashlane offers protection for unlimited devices and passwords, phishing alerts, the ability to securely share accounts, password-less login, and dark web monitoring.

Dashlane also provides a zero-knowledge system and two-factor authentication, and it holds a U.S. patent for its security architecture.

There are two Personal paid plans that Dashlane offers, namely Premium and Friends & Family. The Premium plan offers the above-mentioned features, along with a VPN for Wi-Fi protection. It also offers a free 30-day trial. While the Friends & Family plan features all of the above, it also provides 10 accounts with one subscription. Personal plans start at $5 monthly.

You can also check out the Professional plans, Business and Enterprise. With the Business plan starting at $8 per seat per month, you’ll receive unlimited seats, single sign-on integration, activity logs, SCIM provisioning, SIEM integration, and dark web insights. Large organizations can contact Dashlane for rates on the Enterprise plan, which includes everything in Business, plus a dedicated Customer Success Manager and onboarding specialists.

If you happen to be an iPhone or use of other Apple devices who’s wondering where you might find an alternative to LastPass, look no further than your own device. If you own an Apple device — whether an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, congratulations — you are the proud owner of a device with free, built-in 256-bit AES password encryption that Apple itself can’t read. Should you not have enabled this feature during your iPhone’s installation, go to Settings > User Name > iCloud > Passwords and Keychain. Then, toggle on iCloud Keychain and follow the on-screen instructions.

In addition to saving and protecting passwords on your phone and enabling Face ID or Touch ID security to many websites and apps, Keychain can also keep your account passwords current across all connected devices. Connecting a new device to your Keychain prompts a security request and will then automatically update and sync passwords to prevent anything from being lost in translation.

Disney+ app on the iPad Air 5.

Even the best smartphones still have relatively small screens. After all, they can only get so big before they're no longer practical or pocketable.
