Replaces LastPass

European alternatives to LastPass

Move your credentials to a European vault

LastPass is a password manager from the United States, with a browser extension, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and desktop clients. It fills logins automatically, generates strong passwords, stores notes and cards, and offers shared folders so a team can hand over credentials without emailing them. For many people it was the first password manager they used.

The vault is the master key to every other account, so its provider, its jurisdiction and its track record on security disclosures all deserve scrutiny before you settle. Choosing a European alternative to LastPass puts that vault with an EU or EFTA supplier. Bitwarden and Proton Pass cover personal and team use with apps on the usual platforms, Password Depot and Hypervault are aimed at business use, and Passbolt is built for teams that want to run their own server.

Questions

Can I import my LastPass vault?

LastPass exports your entries to CSV, and the managers here read that format. Bitwarden, Proton Pass and Passbolt each document the import, and you should delete the exported file afterwards since it is unencrypted.

What about shared team passwords?

Shared vaults or folders are offered by Bitwarden, Hypervault and uniqkey among others. Compare how each handles joiners, leavers and recovery, since that is where team use differs from personal use.

Is there a free European password manager?

Bitwarden and Proton Pass both have free tiers for personal use alongside paid plans, and Passbolt can be self-hosted. Check the current limits on each provider's own site.
