LastPass has a free tier, and that has helped make it one of the more popular password managers around. But that free tier is now getting some major limitations.
Starting March 16, LastPass users on the free plan will no longer be able to use the password manager on on their phone and laptop. They will have to choose one type of device.
The LastPass free plan now has two options:
Desktop only: If you choose the desktop option, you can only access your data from any Mac, Windows, or Linux PC, which includes desktop PCs or laptops.
Mobile only: If you choose mobile, you can only access your data from an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone/device (like a Samsung Galaxy phone).
What you won't be able to do is use LastPass for free on your computer and phone. That's not going to work for a lot of people, which means it's time to either upgrade to a paid plan ($36 per year for a single user, $48 per year for families) or move your data elsewhere.
There are several other password services we think are better than LastPass, and one of them is also free. If you'd like to switch, have a look at our updated Guide to the Best Password Managers. Once you've decided where you want to take your passwords, you will need to export your data out of LastPass and import it into the new service.
