Find a More Secure, Open Source Alternative

With LastPass removed, you need a new password manager. Look for one that is open source, end-to-end encrypted, and zero-knowledge:

  1. Open source means anyone can audit the code for security issues.
  2. End-to-end encryption keeps your data safe even if hacked.
  3. Zero-knowledge means the company has no access to your passwords.

Here are some top alternatives to consider:

Bitwarden

Bitwarden is a popular open-source option with robust encryption and zero-knowledge security. It offers a free tier with unlimited password storage. Bitwarden supports all major platforms and browsers.

KeePassXC

KeePassXC is a free, open-source manager that stores encrypted passwords locally on your device. You control the database file, so no company has access to your passwords. It offers very strong security but lacks cloud syncing features.

Enpass

Enpass is an affordable option ($10/year) with open-source apps and encryption. It gives you control over syncing your encrypted database via cloud drives. Enpass is highly secure and works across all devices.

Proton Password Manager

Proton Password Manager comes from Proton Mail, a privacy-focused company. It uses end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge design. Proton Password Manager seamlessly integrates with Proton Mail for added security.

Take Control of Your Passwords

Removing LastPass allows you to reassess your password security. Look for a transparent manager, who uses encryption properly, and puts you in control. With a more secure open-source solution, you can safely store passwords again.
