Using LastPass Family Share

The LastPass password vault has launched a feature that unifies family members' accounts in a simplified way. The novelty, called LastPass Families, charges a one-time fee for a group of up to six people to share logins, passwords, credit card details, passports, and other sensitive information. Passwords are accessed by the browser or iPhone (iOS) and Android phone applications via master password or fingerprint.

Each member of the group chooses what they want to share with their family and what they prefer to keep confidential for personal access. Just like similar service plans like Spotify and Netflix, each user has the autonomy to have their own information in the digital safe. The platform is available to test for 30 days for those who have a free plan and for 6 months for subscribers. After this period, Families costs $ 4 a month including six bills. Learn to use.
