They both offer AES-256 encryption, two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, and a zero-knowledge policy.<\/p>\n<p>All data is also encrypted during transfer, so you are safe from man-in-the-middle attacks. Neither of the companies can actually see your passwords. This means that even if their servers are hacked (like what happened to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.lastpass.com\/2015\/06\/lastpass-security-notice\/\">LastPass in 2015<\/a>), hackers won\u2019t get access to your passwords.<\/p>\n<p>What gives Bitwarden a slight edge is the fact that the product is open-source. The code that runs the system is available online. This means that it can be checked online by experts to make sure that there are no major security issues. Bitwarden went through <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitwarden.com\/blog\/post\/third-party-security-audit\/\">a successful third-party audit using Cure53 cybersecurity firm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And because the code is open-source, community members can create additional tools that work with Bitwarden data. Even if Bitwarden shuts down in the future, the products can still be developed by the open-source community.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LastPass_Is_Easier_to_Use\"><\/span>LastPass Is Easier to Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bitwarden was developed as a tool for businesses, and it shows. On the other hand, LastPass was built as a free product for the masses.<\/p>\n<p>On the whole, LastPass is easier to use. Whether it\u2019s the design of the web client, or how seamlessly the auto-fill functionality works using browser extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Bitwarden leans toward the utilitarian side, with features designed for power users. The browser\u2019s auto-fill feature is a prime example. When you want to log in to a website using Bitwarden, you\u2019ll first have to go to its extension and then select the login.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-715071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Bitwarden-Autofill-Extension.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"170\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re signing up for a new account, you\u2019ll need to add the details first in the Bitwarden extension, and then use that on the web page.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, LastPass will show you the auto-fill data right in the fields. Just click and go.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-715070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LastPass-Autofill-Extension.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"370\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, Bitwarden is filled with power-user features. One of the experimental features at the time of writing will automatically fill in the login details as soon as the login page opens. This is even faster than using LastPass.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to mobile apps, LastPass and Bitwarden both offer similar auto-fill experiences on iPhone and Android. Both integrate into the platform\u2019s own password auto-fill system.<\/p>\n<p>For beginners, LastPass wins the usability point. It\u2019s easier to use the auto-fill and sharing features.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitwardens_Free_and_Paid_Plans_Are_Better\"><\/span>Bitwarden\u2019s Free and Paid Plans Are Better<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-714586 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/bitwarden-logo-on-a-smartphone.jpg\" alt=\"LastPass User Transfering All Their Usernames and Passwords to Bitwarden\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/stavropol-russian-federation-july-1-2019-1449117455\" data-credittext=\"igor moskalenko\/Shutterstock\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/stavropol-russian-federation-july-1-2019-1449117455\">igor moskalenko\/Shutterstock<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What Bitwarden loses out on in the user experience, it more than makes up for with its features and pricing.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.logmeininc.com\/lastpass\/help\/what-can-i-expect-to-change-for-lastpass-free-on-march-16-2021\">Starting March 16, 2021<\/a>, LastPass will only support one device type with its free plan. This means that you\u2019ll need to pay for the $3\/month Premium plan if you want to use LastPass on your desktop along with your smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Bitwarden offers a generous free plan. It includes cross-device support and unlimited logins for free. Even Bitwarden\u2019s premium accounts are cheaper when compared to LastPass.<\/p>\n<p>For an individual, Bitwarden Premium costs $10\/year. It includes support for two-factor authentication and includes 1GB of secure storage. LastPass Premium, on the other hand, costs $3\/month (but it does come with a one-month free trial).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same story with family and business plans (where the feature set for both products is fairly similar). You can get a Bitwarden Family account for six members for $40\/year, while LastPass costs $48\/year.<\/p>\n<p>Bitwarden wins with business plans as well. It offers a free business plan with two shared users. Bitwarden\u2019s team plan starts at $3\/month for each user, while LastPass charges $4\/month for each user.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to switch from LastPass to Bitwarden, you can easily transfer your passwords using a CSV file.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Transfer Your LastPass Passwords to Bitwarden<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overall_Bitwarden_Is_Better_for_Most_Users\"><\/span>Overall, Bitwarden Is Better for Most Users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-448068 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/img_5dcdb2cfe6171.png\" alt=\"Password error message over a laptop\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/447345\/why-you-shouldnt-use-your-web-browsers-password-manager\/\" data-credittext=\"Astrovector\/Shutterstock\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Astrovector\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a secure and free password manager with cross-device support, we would recommend you take a look at Bitwarden. For most users, the free plan will be enough. You can pay the $10\/year fee to add features like two-factor authentication and encrypted storage space while helping the company with the continued development of new features.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, as we explained above, choosing Bitwarden means that you\u2019ll have to take a small hit when it comes to usability, but it\u2019s worth the price.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you find Bitwarden a bit too complex, and if you only plan to use the password manager on a single device, give LastPass\u2019s free plan a shot. If you need cross-device support, you can upgrade to the $3\/month Premium plan, or you can get the $4\/month Family plan and split the fees with your family members.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>While Bitwarden is the best competitor to LastPass\u2019s free plan, it\u2019s not the only alternative. You can try 1Password, or KeePass as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Password Managers Compared: LastPass vs KeePass vs Dashlane vs 1Password<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
