**Note:** This page names LastPass directly. It's the necessary exception to the no-competitor-names rule — the offer is meaningless without naming the breach.

# If LastPass cost you, vault1984 is free. Forever.

The breach happened in 2022. The FBI confirmed $150 million stolen in March 2025. Your vault was on their server. Their server was compromised. That's the architecture.

We built vault1984 so this can't happen again.

**If you are a plaintiff in the LastPass breach litigation, you get a vault1984 account free for life. No credit card. No trial. No expiry.**

## Why vault1984 is different

LastPass encrypted your vault with a key derived from your master password. That key lived on their server. When their server was breached, attackers got the encrypted vault and enough information to crack the key. Given enough time and enough computing power — and they have both — they get your passwords.

vault1984 works differently.

Your credentials are encrypted with a key derived from your hardware authenticator — a physical device in your possession. That key is never sent to our server. We store ciphertext. We don't have the plaintext. We don't have the key.

Steal our server. You get noise.

This isn't a policy. It's not a promise. It's math.

## What "free for life" means

- Full individual account
- All features, no limits
- Never expires
- No payment method required, ever

## How to claim

You're on the honor system. We're not asking for court filings or legal documents.

If you were a LastPass user whose vault was exposed in the 2022 breach, and you've joined the class action or suffered losses as a result — this offer is for you.

## The class action

The ongoing litigation against LastPass (consolidated in the District of Massachusetts) has thousands of plaintiffs. If you haven't joined and suffered losses from the breach, organizations like the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) can point you toward legal resources.

We are not lawyers. This is not legal advice. We're a password manager that thinks you deserved better.

## Press angle (not on the page — for Johan's reference)

The press pitch writes itself: "Password manager offers free lifetime accounts to all LastPass breach victims." 

Send this page to:
- Brian Krebs (krebsonsecurity.com) — covered the LastPass breach exhaustively
- Troy Hunt (HaveIBeenPwned.com) — the breach authority
- TechCrunch, The Verge, Wired — all covered the $150M FBI confirmation in March 2025

Timing: launch this page the same day as the Show HN post, or the day after a new LastPass development hits the news. The breach story is still active — TRM Labs confirmed funds still draining as of late 2025.
