Inactive accounts for departed employees still consuming licenses

Running LastPass alongside 1Password or Bitwarden due to incomplete migration
- 04
Advanced SSO and MFA add-ons purchased but connected to only a few applications
✦ How to fix it
Optimizing LastPass without breaking workflow.
Practical, sequenced steps. Start at the top — most companies recover the bulk of their savings in the first two.
- 01
Evaluate switching to Bitwarden (from $4/user/month) for comparable features at a lower price
- 02
Automate user deprovisioning through directory integration to reclaim licenses immediately on offboarding
- 03
Use the Teams plan if you don't need SSO, advanced policies, or directory sync
- 04
Consolidate to a single password manager and complete any pending migration from competing tools
✦ Alternatives
If LastPass isn't the right fit, here's what else to look at.
Switching costs are usually higher than people expect. Audit usage first — often the cheaper move is to right-size what you already run.

Where LastPass sits in the market
Security tools are priced per-endpoint, per-user, or per-event, and the seat count almost never lines up with the device count or active-user count after a year of churn. The biggest waste is shelfware: tools bought during an audit cycle, deployed partially, and then renewed annually because canceling looks bad to the board. A real usage audit before each renewal recovers 15–30% on average.
