With 1Password, you can get help through email support, Twitter messaging or adding a post to the community forum. Note : We focus on personal password managers, not business password managers, in this review, but 1Password offers plans for teams while LastPass has business pricing for slightly less. We do like 1Password’s Travel Mode feature that is beneficial for frequent international travelers. Thanks to its free plan and more generous Families plan, LastPass is the overall winner when it comes to plans and pricing. In the end, LastPass is the better deal for someone who needs to add family members to their plan. You get six Premium accounts at a lower price per year, whereas you would only get five accounts with 1Password, and for a much higher cost. If you want to pay for a password manager month-to-month, 1Password is the way to go (though it will cost more in the long run). LastPass, on the other hand, only offers annual subscriptions.

Even though 1Password doesn’t make it clear on its website that it offers monthly and annual subscriptions, we do appreciate that there are several choices available - you just have to dig for them. LastPass: Individual Paid Plansīoth 1Password and LastPass offer unlimited password storage across unlimited devices.

Here’s a closer look at each company’s paid offerings. Hackers weren’t able to crack LastPass encryption in order to see individual passwords of accounts stored in user “vaults,” according to LastPass. In contrast, LastPass was breached in 2015, which resulted in hackers gaining access to users’ email addresses, master password reminders and what’s known as a uthentication hashes and user salts. WINNER: 1PasswordġPassword, however, has never been breached or hacked. LastPass offers more flexible multikey authentication features and an aggregate security score to show you the strength of your passwords at a glance. You’ll find strong password generators, bug bounty programs and regular audits and reports from third parties included with both 1Password and LastPass. This key security feature is important because it keeps your account out of the hands of hackers or the government. LastPass calls this its “Zero-Knowledge” model. That means the companies cannot access your account at any point. Neither provider stores your master password in cloud servers. Each password is encrypted with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256 encryption, as well as Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) to prevent brute-force hacks. Both 1Password and LastPass offer high level security to keep your passwords safe.
