The title is slightly off. The limit is to a single device type, not device. If you only use LastPass on 2 devices of the same type (on your desktop and your laptop or if you only use it on your Mobile and your Tablet) you will be fine to stay on Free, However if you use it on your Desktop and your Mobile (like me) you will need to swap password managers or pay up for the service.

FYI Bitwarden is only $10 a year. Before Bitwarden I used a combination of Keepass and Google Drive to sync all my passwords between devices. That was a workable solution, but Bitwarden is certainly easier, and I think more polished too.

Headline should be single "device type". Pick computers, you get all computers. Pick mobile, you get all mobile devices (and watches) Still sad and I'll have to look at options again, it's been 5+ years since I looked. Anyone enjoying bitwarden https://bitwarden.com/ ?

Bitwarden premium sub for years, never had a single issue.

I am using `pass` (https://www.passwordstore.org/) with an encrypted git repository and this works well enough for my use cases. I do not have a complex threat model though, nor I need to share my passwords with other people or organizations.

LastPass costs $36 per year. Operating on the principle of being the customer and not the product, that seems very reasonable for a secure way to store and share the keys to my digital life.

That said, it does make it a little bit harder for me to onboard my friends and family when they ask. One of the selling points has always been "Yes, you can use it on your phone and laptop" and "no, it doesn't cost anything".

Cheers for the info, I'll look into it. I'm not against paying for the service (I've used the hell out of LastPass) I just not a fan them pulling my use case from under me.

Yes after using Roboform and Lastpass I switched to Bitwarden. I pay the 10 bucks a year for convenience but folks I know self host it and are really pleased with it.
