How to configure and use LogMeOnce

1. Choose a LogMeOnce subscription

LogMeOnce has a free version and paid plans. While the free version comes with unlimited password storage, features like emergency access, priority email support, and additional MFA options are only available on the paid plans. Paid versions also provide more encrypted file storage, login auditing, and activity reporting.

In our hands-on review, LogMeOnce received a score of 3.7 out of 5 stars. Check out our full LogMeOnce review here.

LogMeOnce organizes its paid plans into Personal and Business levels. For Personal, you can decide between LogMeOnce's Professional, Ultimate, and Family plans. Please note that LogMeOnce's Premium plan is actually its free version.

LogMeOnce's Professional plan is priced at $2.50 per month, while its Ultimate subscription is priced at $3.25 per month. Of the two, Ultimate offers unlimited note storage and password sharing. It also comes with the most MFA options. Meanwhile, its Family plan costs $4.99 per month and protects up to six users total.

For its Business level, LogMeOnce offers Teams, Business and Enterprise plans.

Teams is priced at $4 per user, per month, while Business is $7.99 per user, per month. Enterprise has a quote-based system, so you will need to contact LogMeOnce for select pricing.

LogMeOnce Teams includes management-focused features such as standard password policies, audit trails, and a management console. LogMeOnce Business includes all the features of Teams and enhances them with single sign-on (SSO) and SAML 2.0 support, Azure and Active Directory integration, and dark web monitoring.

LogMeOnce Enterprise comes with all the enterprise features and adds adaptive MFA authentication, IP address policy restriction, and corporate identity scoring, among others.

If you are a single user, I highly recommend that you first take the seven-day free trial of LogMeOnce's Ultimate plan. This gives you the opportunity to try out their paid features without paying for a subscription.

For businesses or large organizations, LogMeOnce has a 14-day free trial for Teams and Business. Fortunately, both the personal and business free trials don't require any credit card information to access.

For this demo, I chose to try the LogMeOnce Ultimate free trial.

2. Download and configure LogMeOnce

After selecting the 7-day free trial For the Ultimate plan, I was redirected to an account creation page on LogMeOnce. I filled out my name and email address. This is also where LogMeOnce asked me to create my master password, the primary key we will use to access our LogMeOnce vault.

In theory, this is the only password you'll need to create on your own. Because it is the primary way to access your account, be sure to remember the master password you set.

After that, LogMeOnce asked me to set a security question as a backup measure if I ever needed to recover my account. I highly recommend choosing a question and answer combination that is very specific to you, just to make sure it is not easily predicted by malicious hackers.

From there, I was taken to the LogMeOnce home page and asked if I wanted to take a quick tour of the app. I recommend checking it out for a brief overview of LogMeOnce.

After the tour, LogMeOnce asked me to download their companion browser extension. I encourage you to do the same, as this is the best way to use LogMeOnce to capture and autofill passwords.

Once I installed the browser extension, I was finally directed to the main LogMeOnce password manager panel.

3. Save your first login with LogMeOnce

Now that LogMeOnce is ready, it's time to create and save our first login. To demonstrate, I'll create a new Udemy account.

I went to the Udemy account creation page and saw that there was a LogMeOnce logo in the username and password fields.

When I clicked on the logo in the password field, the LogMeOnce password generator appeared with an automatically generated password.

By default, LogMeOnce creates a 15-character password with a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and digits. You can have it generate a password of up to 50 characters.

After deciding on a master password and filling out my other details, I clicked Save in the password generator pop-up window. After that, LogMeOnce asked me to confirm this newly saved login.

Once I did that, my new Udemy login credentials were successfully saved to my LogMeOnce vault.
