That sends a very strong signal that free accounts will remain functional for the foreseeable. The GIF embedded above promises: “All your logins, all your devices, all the time, always free”. Is there a risk Bitwarden will follow LastPass and eventually force free users to take a paid account? You can never say never, but given the company put out the tweet below in response to LastPass’s changes, it would seem highly unlikely it’s about to hamper free accounts. I’ve written about the brilliant Bitwarden before: it’s free, open source and it works with almost any device you can name.īitwarden does offer a premium account ($10 per year) which unlocks extra features, but I’ve been running on a free account for well over a year and it’s perfectly functional without these extras. My recommended course of action is to switch to one of LastPass’s rivals, such as Bitwarden. This should prevent thieves getting access to your entire account if they manage to get hold of your password, as you’ll need to confirm a login on a new device from your smartphone, for example. If you do choose to go down this route, at least make sure you switch on two-factor authentication. If you store your, say, banking passwords on a computer, do you really want your kids having access to that? Browsers are often shared on computers too.
