LastPass: Nothing Says "Private Equity" Like Terrible Service and Price Increases
Lastpass just announced a price increase from $24/year to $36/year.
LastPass announces new pricing for Premium
I find it very hard to justify paying $36.00 a year for Lastpass when Bitwarden is only $10 a year.
More on reddit.comAny discount for lastpass or is $24 per year the best pricing now?
There's no discount that I'm aware of. That being said, a lot of features that used to be preium only, like mobile syncing, are now free. The vast majority of people don't need the paid version. The main features in the paid version are shared folders, emergency contacts, and premium 2FA methods.
You can get free months of premium, however, by referring friends.

Is LastPass Free enough?
If you're only looking to save your passwords on one device, then LastPass Free will likely be enough for you. But if you want to save passwords across devices, like between your computer and phone, for example, then the Premium version will be much more convenient for you.
Is it worth getting LastPass Premium?
Yes. LastPass Premium offers better security and coverage than its Free plan. But in our humble opinion, if you want to cut out the risk of your data being hacked and stolen, you should consider competitors that haven’t experienced breaches with similar or better product offerings, like NordPass, Dashlane, or 1Password.

Got an email from Pax8 today about a 16.75% price increase on LastPass Business users. I briefly purchased LastPass through Pax8 before the breach, but have since moved anyone and everyone away from LastPass. When I started with them, they were $3/user. Then it was $4.5/user. Now they're increasing the price way above the current CPI, all while providing a stagnate product that receives no improvement, after had a major breach. The details of that breach were harrowing too. Senior engineer logs into his LastPass account, with access to all of LastPass's user data, on a personal, unpatched, and vulnerable Plex server that has an open port to the internet? Like what the f*** kind of OpSec is that.
My friend put it best: "I guess they figure anyone still using their service must be a fool."
