Our review
LastPass offers a free tier and cross-platform sync. The free plan has device limits (e.g. one device type). LastPass has had security incidents in the past; check their updates and decide if you are comfortable. It is still widely used and provides autofill, sharing (on Premium), and a familiar experience.
We recommend LastPass when you want a free tier and cross-platform sync; for maximum security and transparency, consider Bitwarden or 1Password. Family sharing requires Premium.
