LastPass offers access across two device types – computers<\/em> (including all browsers running on desktops and laptops) or mobile devices<\/em> (including mobile phones, smart watches, and tablets). Starting March 16th, 2021, LastPass Free will only include access on unlimited devices of one type.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

In addition to this change, as of May 17th, 2021, email support will only be available for Premium and Families customers.<\/p>\n

If you’d like unlimited device type access and email support, you can upgrade from Free to LastPass Premium for a limited time, for $2.25 per month (billed annually).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

1Password is $2.99\/month, billed annually, with a native Mac app.<\/p>\n\n

A few years back, their free\/premium tiers were looking similar to what they announced today. Only they charged a mere $15\/year for premium, which I gladly paid.<\/p>\n

Then, overnight, they offered syncing across all types of devices for their free tier. The premium tier was only adding some niche features. I would have continued to pay $15\/year just to support them, but at the same time they bumped up premium to $36\/year. That was a deal-breaker: not paying 2.5x for features I don’t use.<\/p>\n

Now, they switch back to not syncing across all types of devices, but the premium price stays $36\/year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
