LastPass, the secure access solution that helps organizations and users work, move faster, and stay protected, today announced the initial offering of a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) that provides consumers with enhanced online privacy, more secure public Wi-Fi use, and fast service connections. LastPass VPN is available through the new LastPass Plus offering, which also includes the company’s industry-leading password manager. With LastPass Plus, customers can extend trusted credential protection to their browsing activity, all without deploying a new account, application, or vendor.

Many LastPass consumers already use a third-party VPN, which means they’re juggling multiple security applications, subscriptions, and logins to help keep both their credentials and browsing activity safe. LastPass VPN can remove those additional costs and complexity barriers by offering customers a unified privacy and security experience inside the same LastPass ecosystem they already trust.

“We live in an era where good security hygiene is critical, but staying protected shouldn’t come at the cost of convenience,” said Don MacLennan, Chief Product Officer at LastPass. “The most effective solutions are the ones that work seamlessly in the background without adding friction to everyday life. At LastPass, we continually look at how security is evolving and developing products that make it simple for users to better protect themselves against today’s threat landscape. The new LastPass VPN is the latest example of that commitment.”

The LastPass VPN encrypts your internet connection and helps keeps your browsing data more private, whether you’re at home, on public Wi-Fi, or traveling. Though it is delivered using the same subscription account, LastPass VPN works separately from your password vault, leaving zero-knowledge security untouched, and is:

  • Supported in more than 85 countries and over 100 global virtual locations

  • Usable on up to 10 devices

  • Capable of providing unlimited VPN with no data caps

  • Backed by a no-log policy for browsing activity that passes through servers

The addition of a VPN is part of the company’s mission to simplify secure access on any device, browser, or operating system, delivering core security tools to help protect personal accounts without requiring IT expertise.

LastPass VPN is now available through the new LastPass Plus plan with a limited initial release on Windows Desktop, with plans to expand to iOS, Android, and MacOS in the future.

FAQs

Q: How do I get the LastPass VPN?

A: LastPass VPN is available with password management capabilities through the all new LastPass Plus plan, bought and managed online through users’ subscription settings. LastPass VPN is delivered through a standalone Windows app, downloaded through the Microsoft Store, through which users sign in with the same LastPass account they already have. Even though no new credentials or separate accounts are necessary, LastPass VPN runs separate from your vault, leaving zero-knowledge security untouched.

Q: Is a password manager and VPN combination worth it?

A: A password manager and VPN combination is worth it for people who want convenient, all-around protection for their digital lives. A password manager helps secure accounts with strong, unique passwords, while a VPN encrypts internet traffic and helps protect privacy when using the internet, particularly on public Wi-Fi. Using both together can reduce the number of separate security tools users need to manage while addressing different areas of online security.

Q: What happens if I choose not to use LastPass VPN? What are the dangers?

A: Choosing to not use a VPN means your internet traffic may be more exposed to privacy risks, particularly when using unsecured public Wi-Fi, where attackers may attempt to intercept sensitive information. A VPN encrypts your internet connection, helps protect browsing activity, and adds a layer of privacy when accessing the internet.

With LastPass VPN, customers can access these security benefits through the same trusted account as their password manager, making comprehensive online protection more convenient without adding another vendor or application to manage.

Q: Is LastPass secure?

A: Yes, LastPass is secure. Over the last three years, LastPass made a multi-year, multi-million-dollar investment to rebuild its security foundation from the ground up. The company overhauled its people, processes, and technology, implementing industry-leading standards including ISO 27001 and SOC2 certifications, a public Trust Center and Compliance Center for real-time system monitoring and access to latest certifications, and a dedicated Threat Intelligence, Mitigation and Escalations (TIME) team. LastPass has also upgraded its encryption standards to 600,000 PBKDF2 SHA256 iterations and introduced passkey support to protect against modern AI-powered attacks. Today, LastPass continues to build on its security investments and is committed to exceeding customer expectations.
