LastPass abandons its original application for Mac

For several years, thepassword managerslike 1Password or Dashlane have become real behemoths with tens of millions of users. Using such solutions, however, presents risks: we recall in particular the case of LastPass which…Was hacked, before recommending to all its customers to change their identifiers.

This software is, however, very practical: thanks to it, you can easily connect to hundreds of websites without having to type your code each time you identify yourself. Today, even browsers likeSafari, Chrome or Firefox offer this functionality natively, going even further since their publishers also design operating systems, which means that the safe also works with iOS applications for Apple or Android applications for Google.

New LastPass app

This time, it is thereforeLastPasswho proposes a major change to his community. This one concerns its client for desktop computers, which will simply… Disappear from the Mac App Store. Its last update was about ten months ago.

Fortunately, subscribers of the application will be able to download a new version, which will be available soon. For the moment, it does not appear to be live yet, however it is probably only a matter of time given that support for the old iteration of the program will end permanentlyFebruary 29. Please understand that there will no longer be any security patches: so be careful and consider updating if you are affected.

The new LastPass app is based on technologyweb app, easier to set up for developers. It is nevertheless criticized by many users, given its slowness.WhatsApp, for example, pays for it, just like Trello or Slack before the change last summer. All we have to do is wait for the first returns...

Otherwise, you can always use1Password: this alternative offers a single purchase (we know thatyou don't like packages) even if it is not compatible with the cloud, andis very close to Apple.
