# Open Source Alternative to LastPass

Open source alternatives · Security

LastPass had breaches and now charges US$3 monthly. Bitwarden is the audited open-source exit, free.

**What the paid app costs:** US$3/mo

## Why switch?

LastPass suffered major breaches in 2022 and 2023, then restricted its free tier. Bitwarden's open code and regular audits make it the trustworthy replacement, and KeePassXC removes the cloud entirely for the cautious.
