LastPass vs AVG

LastPass and AVG compared side by side: protection, performance, pricing, and features. Which antivirus suits you better?

LastPass

8.5

/ 10

LastPass is one of the most recognized password managers, offering a solid range of features: password generator, secure notes, dark web monitoring, and family sharing. The interface is simple and pricing fair. Important note: LastPass suffered a significant security breach in 2022/2023 where encrypted vault data was stolen. The company has since overhauled its security architecture.

AVG

8.6

/ 10

AVG Internet Security uses the same scan engine as Avast (both belong to the Gen Digital group) and therefore offers comparable protection at a slightly lower entry price. The suite covers up to 10 devices and scores well for easy setup. For users who want a no-frills solution without complexity, AVG is a solid choice – especially when budget matters.
