LastPass, the password manager owned by LogMeIn, is making a core component of its service free.
LastPass helps improve password security by allowing users to generate random passwords and storing them securely, so users don’t have to worry about password reuse leading to one of their accounts being breached.
The company’s payment model has always been sort of frustrating — users could access the the browser extension for free but had to pay an annual fee to take their passwords with them on mobile.

Storage location is irrelevant when they are using a one-way salted hash. Hash is always sent to verify, never your master password, not to mention its encrypted by 256bit AES before being stored. :smirk:

I personally use keepass, been free from day one and i've never had any issues
Protect your passwords, put them on someone else's servers. :laughing:

They all use 256bit AES protected databases and a master passwords.
Yeah lastpass is so secure that its been hacked, what twice now?
Id prefer to store my 256bit AES encrypted password on my own 256bit AES-NI HDDs for free.
In 365 days you will have a choice, subscribe to a premium package, hope for another free code or mess about and try to leave and export your database to another type of application or format that another app can support. Good luck with that!

Keepass is awesome, but Enpass is far better, with a really nice interface, Windows, MAC, IOS, Android support with apps, desktop software, browser plugins.
The Windows desktop version is free, the apps are free up to 20 passwords..
Plus you can store your encrypted database on your own servers or clouds of your choice from Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, Box, Folder, Webdav, Owncloud.

Not seeing anywhere that this mentions a 1 year free subscription? The services is free across all devices for the life of the product, hence the post, and to be honest using any password manager will introduce exporting issues regardless.
