Ease of Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhile there are compatible applications for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS, LastPass is much more powerful and efficient when you use its web browser extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, there are browser extensions for every major platform, enabling users to relish an all-in-one password management experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a single sign-on option, which means as soon as you have entered your master password, the browser extension will automatically fill in your username and passwords when visiting recognized websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the remarkable functionality of the browser extension though, you still need to download the LastPass application. Since that\u2019s where you will be managing your account settings and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The app is usually easy to download, no matter the device you are using. And to make things seamless for you when logging in, you only need your master password or biometric information for compatible devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the browser extensions, the applications, except the windows version, also perform admirability, with syncing being super-efficient and users experiencing no lags whatsoever. On top of that, you can effortlessly work across multiple devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor some reason, the Windows application is hugely limited, missing out on key options like sharing center, security challenges, and advanced features. You are also limited to only 5,000 items. Also, free users can\u2019t use it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a spokesperson from LastPass, the company is no longer developing the Windows app, but it will keep being supported and distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smooth Navigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBack to the upsides, another striking thing you will quickly notice is that the apps are well designed, each having a beautiful and easy-to-navigate interface. No matter which device you are using, you will enjoy a seamless password managing experience. You will especially appreciate how data is classified into various menu options, making it easy for you to organize your passwords, notes, addresses, and credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this category, LastPass gets 3.5 out of 5, only falling short of the perfect scores because of its limited Windows app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.<\/strong> Customers Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGenerally, LastPass performs decently when it comes to customer support, offering helpful answers to challenging questions on their website. However, getting in touch with their support team can be a hassle, with limited options available and the highest priority given to the paid users. The free users are mostly left on their own, which is less than ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that doesn\u2019t mean LastPass support is completely useless. Their website offers a wide range of instructional guides, FAQs, and training videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Online Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLastPass has three Twitter accounts, one for Monday-to-Friday online support, the second for blog posts and general updates about LastPass, and the third one for notifying users about service outages and resolved issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For what it\u2019s worth, the Twitter account for live support is quite helpful, but you\u2019d have to be very patient. It\u2019s disappointing, however, that there is no link for direct email support, which means the company expects users to scour through the FAQs and tutorials to find suitable answers to their pressing questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Email Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you are not able to resolve your problem that way, you can then find the link for email support at the bottom of the web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can submit your questions via a form, after which you\u2019ll be assigned a case number. As expected, paid users get higher priority over other users, but most times, they respond to everyone eventually. It may just take a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to customer support, LastPass scores 3 out of 5. While not perfect, it\u2019s a decent result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5.<\/strong> Pricing and Plans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe first noteworthy thing about LastPass is its incredible freemium version. To be honest, you will find it difficult to see another free option that can match LastPass\u2019 freemium version in terms of features. However, it does not come with important features like cloud storage, emergency access, and the 2FA option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home Users<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLastPass, unlike most password managers, offers two distinct products for those looking to secure and automize password and credential management – the Premium Plan and the Family Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Costing $36\/year, the Premium plan comes with a wide range of features, which include priority email support, advanced authentication options, emergency access, password sharing from one to many, and 1 GB of secure cloud storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Family plan is a bit more expensive, at $48\/year. This plan is ideal for families since it provides unlimited sharing and accommodates up to six users. Of course, it also comes with all the features of the Premium version, and some unique ones like unlimited shared folders and a family manager dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Business Users<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are also four exclusive plans for enterprises and businesses: MFA, Teams, Enterprise, and Identity. The MFA plan only offers increased security through multi-factor authentication at $3.00\/user\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Teams, Enterprise, and Identity plans are password management products, much as you would expect with LastPass\u2019s competitors. The Teams plan costs $4.00 a user\/month, while the Enterprise and Identity plans cost $6.00 and $8.00 per user\/month, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LastPass gets 4 out of 5 marks in the pricing category, thanks to its free offering and range of affordable plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOverall, You can never go wrong with a password manager like LastPass. Despite offering affordable plans, the manager comes with a range of advanced features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has also proven to be reliable when it comes to encryption, so you can rest easy knowing your data is in safe hands. While it\u2019s not without its shortcomings, we are certain you will love the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
