We want to ensure that LastPass is accessible for all users, including mobile-only users who need help managing their passwords and apps. On Tuesday, LastPass will try a different tactic by letting new users start on the platform of their choice and remain on that one for free.

Even with last months fiasco, LastPass stands among the highest rated password management services around, and as of today, LastPass is lowering the barrier to entry by offering its apps on mobile for free. LastPass told us that, seven years in, it was time to change its freemium pricing model … Instead of dividing the service between PCs and mobile devices, LastPass is now dealing with three distinct platforms-namely, PCs, smartphones, and tablets. From the looks of the offer, current free and Premium users can continue to using LastPass unchanged. Now with the increase of mobile workers, we want to make it possible for people to get started on LastPass via tablet or smartphone first. The same is also true for tablets so this is quite a good option for mobile device owners who have been looking for a robust password management application.

LastPass users will be able to take full advantage of the app’s password storage, but only on the type of device they sign up with. “You can then upgrade to LastPass Premium to enjoy unlimited sync across all your devices”. But if you want to use both, that’s when LastPass will charge you. And if you do find yourself wishing for LastPass on more devices, it’ll only cost you $12 per year.
