LastPass alternatives: 3 password managers that work on all your devices

LastPass's free plan works on one device type only: computer or phone, not both. Many people are also still moving after the 2022 incident in which an attacker copied backups of customer vault data. The sensitive fields were encrypted, and LastPass's March 2023 update lists what was taken and the actions it recommends.

Prices checked on the official pricing pages on . Prices are in US dollars and can change at any time.

The short answer

Bitwarden is the easy recommendation: its free plan works on unlimited devices, and Premium is $1.65 a month. Proton Pass is a good free choice if you want email aliases. 1Password has no free plan but the most polished apps. Bitwarden and 1Password both import a LastPass export.
