LastPass is there when you need to login, generate a password for a new site, or complete an online order. We've streamlined the browsing experience with features that take the hassle out of logging in and signing up, so you can forget about passwords forever.

Password managers, much like towels, are indispensable in the modern digital age. Both LastPass and SplashID exist to keep your credentials safe, which is useful, because most humans have the memory of a mildly confused goldfish when it comes to passwords. They dutifully store, autofill and sync across devices, all while offering multi-factor authentication so that hackers, aliens and sentient AI from the year 3000 can’t easily waltz into your accounts. They even generate passwords so strong that trying to remember them would require an advanced degree in cryptography or at least a notebook that you will absolutely misplace.
LastPass, being a product of 2008 from the United States, caters to both individuals and businesses with ambitions of being terribly secure. It offers a free tier (which is lovely until you realize device syncing is limited), encrypts everything locally with a zero-knowledge model (so even LastPass itself can’t help you when you forget your master password) and will politely inform you if your credentials appear on the dark web, which is both useful and deeply unsettling. Enterprises love it, possibly because it makes their IT departments feel like secret agents instead of people who reset passwords all day.
SplashID, on the other hand, has been around since 2000, making it a kind of wise old sage in password management terms. It also hails from the United States but prefers a more personal touch, focusing on individuals and small businesses who like having control over their data. Unlike LastPass, it offers local-only storage, which appeals to those who don’t trust the cloud (or possibly just have a thing for nostalgia). It also allows secure record sharing and even offers a one-time purchase option—ideal for people who despise subscriptions with the kind of passion usually reserved for queuing at the DMV.
