LastPass is a password manager application.[3] The standard version of LastPass comes with a Web interface, but also includes plugins for various Web browsers and apps for many smartphones. It also includes support for bookmarklets.

Founded in 2008 by four developers,[4][5] Lastpass was acquired by GoTo (formerly LogMeIn Inc.) for $110 million in 2015.[6] LastPass was spun-off from GoTo into a stand-alone business in 2024.[7]

LastPass suffered significant security incidents between 2011 and 2022. Notably, in late 2022, user data, billing information, and vaults (with some fields encrypted and others not)[a][8] were breached, leading many security professionals to call for users to change all their passwords and switch to other password managers.[9]
