LastPass to Restrict Free Users to One Device Type on March 16
LastPass announced a move to restrict free users of its password manager. Starting March 16 these users will be limited to one device type.
LastPass offers access across two device types – computers (including all browsers running on desktops and laptops) or mobile devices (including mobile phones, smart watches, and tablets). Starting March 16th, 2021, LastPass Free will only include access on unlimited devices of one type.
As alternatives I recommend 1Password as well as the open-source app, Bitwarden.

LastPass Dark Web Monitoring, Security Dashboard Here
LogMeIn announced on Wednesday the arrival of LastPass dark web monitoring, as well as a security dashboard for the password manager.
The new LastPass dark web monitoring feature proactively checks email addresses against a 3rd party database of breached credentials. If that email address has been found in the database, the user will be immediately notified by email and with a message directly in their LastPass Security Dashboard. From there, users will be prompted to update the password for that compromised account.
