LastPass Alternatives

Bitwarden is an open-source password manager: anyone can read the code of its apps and server, and it runs a public bug bounty. It stores logins, passkeys, cards, identities and notes with zero-knowledge encryption, and fills them in from browser extensions, desktop apps and mobile apps. When LastPass limited its free plan in 2021, a forum thread called the wave of departures the great exodus from LastPass to Bitwarden, and it is still a common answer in threads on where to go next.

Who it fits: individuals, families and small to mid-size teams. The free plan is the real draw. It covers unlimited devices and unlimited passwords and lets you share items with one other user, which is everything LastPass Free used to do before it was limited to one device type.

Its limit is polish. The apps are functional rather than pretty, autofill on some sites needs a manual click, and vault organization for families uses collections, which take a few minutes to understand. Free organizations are capped at two collections, which can break a LastPass import with many shared folders (more on that in the buyer's guide).

How the price reads against LastPass: Premium costs $1.65 a month billed annually, $19.80 a year, against $36 for LastPass Premium, a saving of $16.20 a year. Families is $47.88 a year for up to 6 users, which matches LastPass Families at $48. For teams, Bitwarden Teams is $4 per user a month billed annually and Enterprise $6, the plan that adds SSO, policies and self-hosting. Price order: free, then $19.80 a year, then $47.88 a year for a family. If you are weighing it against 1Password specifically, our Bitwarden switching guide shows the trade-offs from the other side.

Proton Pass is the password manager from Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail and Proton VPN, and its apps are open source. Its standout is the hide-my-email alias: a random address that forwards to your inbox, created from the autofill menu when you sign up somewhere. If that address starts receiving spam or shows up in a breach, you switch it off.

Who it fits: individuals and couples who want a free plan they will not outgrow. Proton Free covers unlimited logins, notes and cards on unlimited devices, with 10 hide-my-email aliases. Pass Plus adds unlimited aliases, a built-in 2FA authenticator, vault sharing and dark web monitoring.

Its limit: business features are younger than those of Bitwarden or Keeper, and the first price you see is a first-year price. That is the trap to read twice.

How the price reads against LastPass: Pass Plus is billed $23.88 for the first 12 months, then renews at $35.88 every 12 months, so the renewal is $12 higher, a 50% jump, and lands almost exactly on LastPass Premium at $36. Pass Family is $33.48 the first year, then $59.88 a year for up to 6 users, $9.98 per person, where LastPass Families is $48 for the same 6 people. Price order: free, then $23.88, then $35.88 a year from year two.

1Password is the password manager that comparison guides most often call the easiest to live with. Its apps on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android are consistent, autofill is reliable, and it adds a protection LastPass never had: a Secret Key. Your vault is encrypted with your account password plus a Secret Key generated on your device and never sent to 1Password. A vault stolen from its servers would need both, so a weak master password alone is not enough to open it.

Who it fits: families who want separate vaults with simple sharing, travelers (Travel Mode hides selected vaults when you cross a border), and companies that want Watchtower alerts and identity-provider integrations.

Its limit is the absence of a free plan: after the 14-day trial you pay. And the price you see on the pricing page is a promotional first-year price for new customers who subscribe directly.

How the price reads against LastPass: Individual is $2.99 a month with annual billing for the first year, $35.88, then the regular $3.99 a month, $47.88 a year, which is $11.88 more than LastPass Premium. Monthly billing costs $4.99 a month. Families is $4.49 a month the first year, $53.88, then $5.99 a month, $71.88 a year, for 5 users in all: the plan card says it includes 5 users, and its FAQ speaks of inviting up to five family members, so count on 5 people, where LastPass Families covers 6 people for $48. Price order: $35.88 the first year, then $47.88 a year. Our 1Password switching guide covers the reverse move if you ever leave.

RoboForm started as a form filler, and it is still strong at filling long web forms (addresses, cards, identities), and it saves and fills logins across browsers. It uses zero-knowledge encryption and supports 2FA by email, SMS, authenticator app, passkey or hardware key.

Who it fits: someone who wants a cheap paid plan, or a free plan on one machine. RoboForm Free stores unlimited passwords on a single device, a different trade-off from LastPass Free, which allows several devices of one type.

Its limit: the interface looks dated next to 1Password or Proton Pass, and like Proton Pass it advertises a first-year price that rises at renewal.

How the price reads against LastPass: Premium is $19.90 for the first year for new users during the current 33% promotion, then renews at $29.88 a year, still $6.12 below LastPass Premium at $36. Family covers up to 5 Premium accounts for $31.95 the first year (same promotion), then $47.75 a year, $9.55 per person. For companies, RoboForm Business is $3.33 per user a month billed annually. Price order: free on one device, then $19.90, then $29.88 a year.

Keeper is a password manager built with businesses in mind: an admin console, role-based policies, shared team folders, and add-ons for privileged access and secure messaging. It uses zero-knowledge encryption. On the personal side it is a complete, conventional vault with unlimited devices and 24/7 support.

Who it fits: teams of 5 to 10 people on Business Starter at $2 per user a month billed annually, the lowest business seat in this list, and larger companies on Business at $4. Every Business user also gets a free Family Plan, a perk that turns a work tool into a family one.

Its limit is the personal price and the add-ons. Dark web monitoring (BreachWatch) is a paid add-on at $26.99 a year on Personal, so Personal plus BreachWatch costs $69.98 a year, almost twice LastPass Premium, which includes dark web monitoring.

How the price reads against LastPass: Personal is $42.99 a year, $6.99 more than LastPass Premium. Family is $91.99 a year for 5 users, $18.40 per person, against $8 per person on LastPass Families. For 10 business users, Business Starter costs $240 a year against $510 on LastPass Teams. Price order: $2 per user a month for a team, $42.99 a year for one person.

Dashlane is a password manager with a strong browser extension, phishing protection that warns you before you type a password into a fake site, dark web monitoring and, on Premium, a VPN for Wi-Fi protection. Comparison guides cite it more than any other tool in this list: five of the seven we read put it in a heading.

Who it fits: large households. Friends & Family covers 10 members, each with a private account, the highest cap in this list. That makes it $9.76 per person a year, close to Proton Pass Family after renewal.

Its limit is the price for one person and the end of its free plan. Dashlane closed its free plan in 2025, so like 1Password it is a paid-only tool after the trial. And the VPN on Friends & Family covers only the plan manager, not the other nine members.

How the price reads against LastPass: Premium is $5.42 a month billed annually, $65.04 a year, the highest individual price in this list and $29.04 above LastPass Premium. Friends & Family is $8.13 a month billed annually, $97.56 a year for 10 members, against $48 for 6 people on LastPass Families. For businesses, Omnix Password Management is $8 per user a month billed annually. Price order: $65.04 a year for one person, $97.56 a year for ten. Our Dashlane switching guide covers the move the other way.
