Making Your Decision
When to Choose Google Password Manager
Chrome and Android users who want simple, free password management within the Google ecosystem
Google Password Manager offers solid, free password management for users already committed to the Google ecosystem. It handles the basics well but lacks the advanced features of dedicated managers.
Strengths
- Completely free with no premium tier to upsell
- Seamless integration with Chrome and Android
- Password checkup alerts for compromised credentials
- Passkey support for passwordless authentication
Limitations
- Requires Chrome browser on desktop (no Firefox/Safari extension)
- No secure notes or document storage
- Limited password sharing capabilities
When to Choose LastPass
Budget-conscious users willing to accept past security concerns for convenience
LastPass offers a convenient free tier and easy interface, but its history of security breaches makes it difficult to recommend over more secure alternatives.
Strengths
- Free tier available with unlimited passwords
- Easy-to-use interface for beginners
- Automatic password change feature
- Good browser extension functionality
Limitations
- SECURITY CONCERN: LastPass suffered a major breach in 2022. Stolen vault backups are still being cracked as of 2025, with over $28M in crypto theft traced to the breach. Most security experts recommend switching to alternatives like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane.
- Multiple security breaches have damaged trust
- Free tier limited to one device type
