If you’re looking for a free LastPass alternative, Bitwarden might be the best option.

That said, Bitwarden gets a lot of things right, from its feature-rich Free plan to its reasonably priced Premium and Family plans, all while offering best-in-class security.

Starting on March 16, 2021, LastPass changed how its free plan works.

LastPass Free plan users will no longer have access to the cross-device sync support.

To get access to the cross-sync feature, users will need to upgrade to the $3/month LastPass Premium plan.

On the other hand, Bitwarden offers cross-device sync support and unlimited password storage in the Free plan.

Both LastPass and Bitwarden follow industry-standard encryption protocols using AES-256 encryption on their servers and during data transfer (which protects you from man-in-the-middle attacks).

On the flip side, it also means that there is no way for LastPass or Bitwarden to access your data (even if the service gets hacked, as LastPass did in 2015).

For most users, Bitwarden’s free plan is enough.

LastPass charges $48/year for its family account.

On the business side, Bitwarden offers a free account for two users, and additional users can be added for $3/month for each new user.

LastPass charges $4/month for each user and doesn’t offer a free plan for businesses?

For most users who are looking for a free alternative to LastPass, Bitwarden makes the most sense.
