Today, LastPass began emailing customers of their Free service with news that starting on March 16th, 2021, users will no longer be allowed to use the service on both mobile and computer desktops simultaneously.
According to this email, LastPass Free users will be able to use the service on their Android and iOS mobile devices simultaneously but not on computers or vice-versa.
"We're making changes to how LastPass Free users access LastPass across device types. LastPass offers access across two device types - Computers or Mobile Devices."
"Starting March 16, 2021, LastPass Free will only include access on unlimited devices of one type," announced LastPass in a support bulletin.
LastPass Free will automatically select the designated platform type based on the device you first log in on and after March 16th. If you login in with your phone, LastPass will automatically set your active device type to 'Mobile.
In addition to these new limitations, Lastpass Free users will no longer receive support via email and will only have access to the support center and the LastPass forums.
