Here is the rewritten article:
LastPass wants to make the password you choose for its service the last you’ll ever need. But to meet that lofty goal, LastPass needs to offer great security, easy operation, and enough unique features that you’ll want to keep subscribing year after year.

Tiers and pricing
LastPass has low-cost individual and family subscription plans, sometimes with big discounts. LastPass
LastPass currently has a sale that cuts annual subscription prices in half. That’s a great deal on a popular password manager. Your renewal cost will be at LastPass’ standard prices, which are reasonable.
A Premium subscription normally costs $36 annually. You can sync passwords across all your devices and securely store up to 1GB of encrypted notes, card numbers, addresses, and attached photos. LastPass offers a plan for Families that includes six individual accounts for $48 per year.
That’s significant savings for families, making the cost per person as low as $8 annually. Sale prices might cut that to $4 for each person in a big family.
LastPass also offers a free version that supports a single device. You can use it on a computer or a mobile device but not both. Sharing is limited to only one other person, and secure storage is capped at 50MB. If you’re looking for the best free password manager, check out Bitwarden, an open-source solution with a good free app.
Design
LastPass is easy to set up with guidance to install the browser extension and import logins. Digital Trends
When I logged into my LastPass account, a prompt to install the browser extension appeared at the top and below I saw options to add passwords manually or import them.
I installed the extension and signed in, then imported the passwords saved in my browser. LastPass supports Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and even Explorer. I could also import vaults from 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, KeePass, Keeper, RoboForm, and logins stored in CSV format.
Features
LastPass handles autofill as well as the best password managers. Digital Trends
Autofill is a critical feature for a password manager and LastPass handles it well. When I open a website where I have an account, the username and password are instantly filled in. A LastPass icon at the right opens an options menu where I can choose another account, generate a new password, or switch off autofill for this website.
On my iPhone, a single tap authenticates with Face ID and fills logins. It works as well as the built-in autofill in the Edge browser on my Windows PC and the Passwords app on iOS.
To compete with tech leaders like Microsoft and Apple, third-party solutions offer cross-platform ease, more options, and advanced features. LastPass works on nearly any device. There are Apple Watch and Wear OS apps. LastPass even made an app and browser extension for the Meta Quest.
Security
The LastPass security dashboard alerts me to weak passwords and dark web leaks. Digital Trends
LastPass offers a security dashboard that alerts me to weak passwords and dark web leaks. I can update the logins or delete the accounts if I no longer use them. On the same security tab, there’s an option for dark web monitoring. I can add up to 200 email addresses to the checklist.
Sharing
LastPass has shared folders for family accounts, making it easy to organize and sync logins. Digital Trends
I tried a LastPass Families account that provides six individual accounts. In the web app, there’s a Families tab that makes it easy to add and manage members. Among members, I can share entire folders that contain logins, notes, addresses, and more.
