LogMeOnce Review 2024: Is This Passwordless Solution Worth It?

LogMeOnce is a solid cloud-based password and identity management software, but it may be overwhelming for the average user. The dashboard has sections for identity protection that can't be used unless you purchase the add-ons and reports that provide details activity and browser usage, which may be too much. 

Our testing proved that LogMeOnce is works well as a password manager. Autofill appeared to enter our credentials and fill our forms, and the password generator is detailed and customizable. But we think there are better password managers for a lower price.

Our experience

We tested LogMeOnce by taking advantage of a free trial for the Ultimate plan. There are no desktop apps, so we just added LogMeOnce to our Chrome browser and used the web vault. 

Once it was set up, LogMeOnce provided lots of tips, tutorials, and an onboarding checklist. Most tabs we opened on the dashboard walked us through the features, which is nice for beginner users. 

We appreciated the tutorials, but LogMeOnce has a lot going on, especially if you're only looking for a password manager. We went looking for a password strength report so we selected the Reports tab. LogMeOnce collects charts on productivity and security, along with a list of activity. We can't imagine too many people would be interested in this data, so we were surprised its a primary tab on the dashboard. 

We found the password strength report under the Identity Protection tab, but there were plenty of features like the dark web monitoring and leaked passwords that prompted us to purchase add-ons. 

The password manager aspects worked well, though. We navigated to Amazon to create an account to test the autofill. The LogMeOnce logo appeared to fill out our identity information and generate a password.

Overall, LogMeOnce has its strengths but you'll need to spend more than its above-average cost to unlock its full identity theft protection functionalities.

How much does LogMeOnce cost?

LogMeOnce offers several cost tiers, ranging from a free account to a family plan for $4.99/mo. 

The free plan grants unlimited saved passwords synced across unlimited devices and added features like secure notes, one GB of encrypted storage, a password generator, and more. 

All plans feature encrypted file storage, autofill, unlimited passwords, a password generator, audit and activity reports, beneficiary access, and two-factor and/or multi-factor authentication.

Compared to other password managers, LogMeOnce is a good mid-range password manager. The ability to log in without a master password is appealing, and the novelty of logging in with a selfie is certainly innovative technology.

Having a password manager is an important step in improving your cybersecurity, and LogMeOnce does offer that capability. It offers many security features that help you feel secure, but for the average customer, many of the premium features might go unused. Additionally, some helpful add-on items like dark web monitoring and identity protection are available, but at an extra cost on top of the monthly plan cost.

LogMeOnce features

LogMeOnce is the first passwordless password manager, relying on other verification forms for login. Instead of a password, you can log in by snapping a selfie, scanning a QR code, scanning your fingerprint, through facial recognition, or entering a PIN. 

Unlike some password managers that offer standard autofill and password management, LogMeOnce goes above and beyond with enhanced security features and an impressive range of advanced capabilities. Note that some of these capabilities will need to be purchased as an add-on.

Importing and exporting passwords

LogMeOnce has extensive password import options, from browsers to other password managers. You can also upload a regular CSV file. 

We chose to upload a CSV of our Roboform vault. Every option you open will provide instructions for how to export the passwords. 

Every item we imported was entered perfectly into our vault. LogMeOnce even adds logos for our accounts and shares the password strength of each record. 

Password sharing

LogMeOnce offers two ways to share passwords: with family sharing and by sharing passwords directly through the vault. Family sharing can only be accessed with the Family plan, while sharing passwords from the vault can be done with any plan.

We sent ourselves a vault item to our personal email address. After selecting the link, we were prompted to log in to our LogMeOnce account. Luckily, LogMeOnce has a free plan you could create to receive passwords. 

Password generator

Creating a strong password is one of the first lines of defense to staying safe online. A 12-character-minimum password using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols, and randomness is a good starting point for a secure password.

LogMeOnce takes the guesswork out of creating a strong password with its password generator. We like that you can select the types of characters and that it shares how long the password would take to hack. Our testing found that it pops up while adding new records and in account creation pages. 

Autofill

LogMeOnce’s form filler feature lets you quickly fill out any form with data stored in your LogMeOnce account, including name, address, credit card information, and more. 

Once you’re on the website with a form you want to fill out, an orange icon appears in the field bar, indicating the field is detected by Autofill. We visited the Norton Password Manager login page, and LogMeOnce appeared to unlock the account. 

Password strength report

LogMeOnce’s password manager dashboard contains a trove of information, including any passwords to apps or sites, documents, photos, notes, and wallet information. It shows your overall strength and whether any passwords were leaked in data breaches.

We created a record with the password "password123" to see if it would be flagged. It immediately appeared on the scorecord and LogMeOnce let us know we should change it. 

Digital legacy

In the event of an emergency or death, LogMeOnce offers a beneficiary feature, granting access to trusted individuals. You can assign a beneficiary or assign access to multiple people. The assignee can log in, support, and maintain your digital information. You determine when they get access and can cancel access at any time.

Bonus features

In addition to the password manager perks and amenities, LogMeOnce offers bonus features, like dark web monitoring and encrypted cloud storage add-ons.

LogMeOnce plays offense on the dark web, scanning for stolen account information and passwords and sending notifications if your information is exposed or found on the dark web. Encrypted cloud storage allows you to encrypt files automatically with your password. Both options are available for an additional monthly cost.

• Anti-theft features: Trace your phone, notebook, or computer and wipe your device (delete all data if you know it’s stolen), lock it by forcing a password, force your device to ring at max volume, or remotely log out and instantly protect your data. With this feature, you can also ping a GPS location, plot your device’s location on a map, or display a message to help the finder get the device back into your hands.
• Kill-Pill: This anti-theft feature instantly wipes all LogMeOnce data from a reported lost or stolen device.
• Account freeze: Traveling for a long period of time or using public Wi-Fi? No problem. This anti-theft feature allows you to freeze accounts for as long as necessary, from any device.
• Password SHOCK: Send intruders a message with this anti-theft feature that automatically sends a warning if someone tries to hack your LogMeOnce account.

LogMeOnce privacy policy

According to its privacy policy, LogMeOnce claims to "never rent, sell, or provide your personal information to any third parties unless you request and agree to it." We found at least two other instances in the policy stating that data is never sold without consent, so we feel good about its security standards. 

LogMeOnce also collects only necessary information. This includes account registration information, records of customer service correspondence, and credit card information for billing. 

LogMeOnce third-party audits

Third-party audits aren’t perfect, but they offer a snapshot of a company’s trust and transparency and help validate any claims the password manager makes. At publication, LogMeOnce hasn’t published any third-party audit results.

Is LogMeOnce safe to use?

LogMeOnce is generally safe to use due to its industry-standard encryption. LogMeOnce has never been hacked, nor has it been involved in any data breaches.

Additionally, LogMeOnce touts zero-knowledge technology, meaning it doesn’t know your encryption key or actual passwords. You’re the only one with absolute knowledge of your encryption key or passwords, and only you can decrypt your account.

Two-factor authentication

Even with the most basic plans, LogMeOnce offers a minimum of two-factor authentication as a layer of protection. Two-factor authentication is a two-layer approach to account security. The first layer is something you know, like a memorized password. Once that information is provided, a second layer of credentials is sent to you to complete the login.

After you log in with your first password, a second password is sent to you by any option you choose: a selfie, SMS notification, voice call, email, Google Authenticator, USB token, or X.509 certificate.

LogMeOnce compatibility

One of the significant perks of LogMeOnce is streamlined compatibility among devices. There are no desktop apps at this time, but LogMeOnce is available for the following:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Safari
• Android
• iOS

LogMeOnce customer service

When we signed up for our account, we received an email from a customer service representative from LogMeOnce welcoming us to the service and directing us where to go for more information. The email included links to the knowledge base, a help page with common problems, a FAQ guide, and informative articles.

The email also included a link to submit an email request for help. Additionally, the LogMeOnce YouTube channel, stocked with video demos and tutorials, was a valuable way to walk users through common pain points.

The main dashboard offers a live Zoom training, but the link was expired when we checked it. LogMeOnce boasts Priority Email and Chat customer service options in some of its premium plans. We used the chat feature, which seemed to be an AI chatbot, and we received a notice saying a ticket had been created and someone would be with us soon.

We submitted an email request for help, but as of publication, we hadn’t received a response through email or chat.

Top alternatives

Having a password manager is a helpful step in securing your online identity. There are free versions of password managers available as Chrome extensions like Google Password Manager, but Google password manager isn’t safe or secure. 

Fortunately, there are other premium plans and free plans available that offer increased levels of protection. Here are a few of our suggestions:

LogMeOnce FAQs

Bottom line: Is LogMeOnce good?

LogMeOnce touts 57 features in addition to managing passwords, but those additional features are just not needed or properly utilized, especially by new password manager users. In addition to the plethora of features, the interface isn’t particularly user-friendly; it took us quite a bit of fiddling around on the website to get where we wanted to go.

The monthly cost of LogMeOnce isn’t too steep, which, for businesses or people looking for a feature-rich password manager, makes it a great option to consider. But for the average consumer, LogMeOnce may not be the best option as a day-to-day password manager.
