Changes to LastPass Free.

chrisw

I've used LastPass free for a number of years on my computers and mobile devices, however it now appears they are restricting it to work on one type of device only. It's going to be a right pain copying some of the complex passwords over. Does anyone know of another password manager that works across all devices?

What's changing in LastPass Free? Beginning March 16, 2021, LastPass Free will include access on one device type of your choice. The first device you login with on or after March 16 will set your active device type.

If you choose computeras your device type, LastPass Free will work on all computers in your life: ALL desktop computers ALL laptop computers If you choose mobile as your device type, LastPass Free will work on all mobile devices in your life: ALL mobile phones ALL tablets ALL smartwatches

Is it not possible to have 2 accounts, one for PC and one for mobile?

Will take a bit more effort updating entries but still...?

Much easier to simply open a Bitwarden account, import passwords etc. from LastPass then delete LastPass account in a few weeks (in case something hasn't transferred across). Then every time you create a new password or update a password in Bitwarden all accounts accessing the database will be updated. A lot less faffing about.

I've been a Lastpass user for years and found it to be excellent, but, I need access both on PC and Mobile. Today I downloaded Bitwarden and imported all the Lastpass data. Took about 10 minutes, including setting it all up in my browser and on my mobile....So, I'll go with that and see how it goes for the next couple of weeks before getting rid of Lastpass completely.

Yes I have moved to Bitwarden too. It only took about 10 minutes to export from Last Pass and then import so am very pleased and so far it seems to work perfectly.

I use LastPass on my phone but just as a secure 'notebook' to store my passwords in, if i need a password when using my PC I open my phone, find the password in lastpass and type it in. I dont think my usage will change because of this change.

I've just transferred all my stuff from Lastpass to Bitwarden. Seems to work fine.Thanks for the suggestion.

I remember some time ago looking in to password managers and off the top of my head the ones people went to the most from what I was reading were last pass and 1password. I don't remember any mention of bit warden. Is it relatively new or has it just increased in popularity or something?
