If you already have your passwords stored somewhere, or if you're thinking of storing your passwords somewhere else, you can find the import and export tools in advanced options. If you need to store information that doesn't fit in a template, you can store it as a note. You can add new entries by clicking the red plus sign in the lower right corner LastPass has several templates for different item types (including passports, insurance policies and software licenses) as well as the option to create custom templates. The web vault is relatively straightforward: A collapsible left menu holds a list of different item types (passwords, notes, addresses, payment cards and bank accounts are the default categories) as well as links to the security dashboard, sharing center, emergency access, account settings, advanced options, and help. LastPass has desktop apps for Windows and macOS, but they're a little redundant - they allow you to access your password storage but not your account settings, while the web vault lets you access both. You don't need to set up your account immediately, but completing all of the objectives in the starter kit will earn you a 10 percent discount on a paid plan. On the right side of the vault you'll see the "starter kit," or a series of steps that walk you through setting up your account. Once you're logged in, LastPass will redirect you to your password vault. The initial prompt will direct you to the basic version of your browser extension to get the full version, you'll need to download it directly from LastPass. LastPass offers both basic and "full" versions of its browser extensions the full versions feature extra functionality via a binary component. You will then be prompted to install the LastPass browser extension for your browser. You can also fill out an optional password hint (not a security question). To get started with LastPass, you'll need to sign up using your email address and a strong master password that is at least 12 characters long and includes upper case letters, numbers, and symbols. Both mobile apps are available on Android (6.0 or higher) and iOS (13 or higher). LastPass also offers two mobile apps: LastPass Password Manager lets you access your passwords and LastPass Authenticator provides 2FA. LastPass has desktop apps for PC (Windows 8.1 or later) and macOS (the two most recent versions) and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer. At $48 per year for up to six people, LastPass Family is cheaper than the competition - 1Password's and Keeper's family plans only cover five people and cost $59.88 and $74.99 per year, respectively. LastPass's Family plan has the same features as the Premium plan, as well as unlimited shared folders between users. Paying also gets you extra security features, including emergency access, advanced multi-factor authentication, a security dashboard for analyzing password integrity and monitoring the dark web and access to email support. Premium users get the same features as free users, plus unlimited syncing between device types, one-to-many sharing and 1GB of file storage. LastPass's Premium plan is $36 per year, almost exactly the same price as competitors such as 1Password ($35.88) and Keeper ($34.99). There's no limit to the number of devices you can sync within your chosen category, but you'll need to upgrade if you want to access your passwords on both your phone and your computer. Free users are now limited to one device type: Computer (desktops and laptops) or mobile (phones, tablets and smart watches). LastPass's free plan used to allow unlimited syncing across different device types, but this changed in March 2021.
