LastPass Premium users will still pay a subscription to access family password sharing, two-factor authentication methods like YubiKey and Sesame, encrypted file storage, fingerprint identification on desktop, priority customer support and an ad-free password vault. LastPass has added other paid features over the years that make the Premium subscription worthwhile, and under the new plan, the division between paid and free services makes a lot more sense. Other password managers such as 1Password follow a similar pay-for-mobile model, but making the same service cost a different amount depending on what device it’s accessed from seemed nonsensical.
The company’s payment model has always been sort of frustrating - users could access the the browser extension for free but had to pay a $12 annual fee to take their passwords with them on mobile. LastPass helps improve password security by allowing users to generate random passwords and storing them securely, so users don’t have to worry about password reuse leading to one of their accounts being breached. LastPass, the password manager owned by LogMeIn, is making a core component of its service free.
