When LastPass was founded in 2008, the personal PC dominated the market, so we gave desktop and laptop access for free. LastPass told us that, seven years in, it was time to change its freemium pricing model … You can now use it for free on either platform – but still need to pay to get both mobile and desktop usage. Previously, desktop use was free while use on a mobile device required a $12 annual subscription. LastPass, which claims to be the world’s most popular password manager, now offers the choice of free usage on either mobile or desktop platforms.
