Security is serious, and limiting people's security in difficult times feels like a serious faux pas by a security company.

On top of that, HSBC told BBC News that they, and others in the banking industry, are 'receiving higher than normal reports of fraud'. We are in the middle of a global pandemic where people are on reduced hours, have faced redundancies, and individuals' budgets are seriously restricted at the moment. What annoys me about the whole thing is I had to find out through tech media outlets like Techradar and PC Mag before LastPass had told me. Especially something I get such value from. As I use it on my laptop and my mobile and tablet devices I now have to pay to continue using it across devices.

If you stick with the free tier, you can only use LastPass on one type of device. On 16th February, LastPass announced changes to their free product, which I what I use. I don't recall much in the way of lost functionality from not paying, so I never got round to doing so again. I stopped paying because my card expired, and I never got round to updating the details. I have also previously paid for the product.

I know I have an invoice from them from 2013, so I've been a user for their product for at least 7 years. LastPass has been my go-to password manager for as long as I can remember.
