46 Other Options Considered

Bitwarden

Top Pro

Open source

Bitwarden is open source and can therefore easily be reviewed and checked for security. Its Github repository is accessible here. See More

Top Con

Password generator only uses 8 special characters !@#$%^&*

Whereas a desktop keyboard has 30+ special characters. This greatly reduces the possible passwords that can be generated. See More

TrustworthyAnnona's Experience

the on premise self-hosted version may crashes after update. The update script is tricky. The let'sencrypt certificate has no automatic renewal option. Everything is pushed to the direction of buying premium from bitwarden or stay bothered with lots of workaround on your own server (self-hosting) See More

Specs

Supported platforms:Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge, Brave, Safari

Browser integration:Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave

Encryption methods:256-bit AES, RSA, and PBKDF2

License:Open Source (AGPLv3)

See All Specs

Top Pro

Free

It is easy to start as the majority of features are on the free version. See More

Top Con

Unable to remove duplicates

If you import more than one times, it will store its duplicates and there is no duplicate remover on these apps. See More

Darim's Experience

I use Ipone/ Mac/Windows PC - so am satisfied See More

Top Pro

Clean interface with no ads

No ads, no tracking. See More

Top Con

Passwords cards can be tricky for newbies

The fields can be difficult to understand for newbies. For example, some login pages can add a field for the password name differently at the same time as the password's field will contain a password. When changing the password, they sometime end corresponding and can give headaches to some users. See More

VigorousDushara's Experience

Flawless and smooth integration + open source See More

Top Pro

Cross-platform syncronisation

Automatically synchronises across various devices and platforms. Passwords get fully encrypted locally before leaving the computer. See More

Top Con

Cloud-based

You're storing your passwords on servers and you have to trust them. See More

MaybeGreatReviewer's Experience

Bitwarden synchronizes across all your devices and offers card and identity information storage alongside logins. See More

Top Pro

Strong, easy to use built-in password genarator

No need to think of individual passwords. This can be easily accomplished with an easy to use built-in password manager. See More

Top Con

Cannot update data while offline

Requires Internet connection. See More

PrivateTawals's Experience

Excellent, open-source, cross-platform, password manager. I use it mostly on Android and Linux. My only complaint is the auto-fill overlay on Android can sometimes be awkward, sitting on top of the login button and I sometimes find it confusing whether to use the Firefox add-in or the app when accessing web sites. See More

Top Pro

Many browser plugins

There are plugins for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Edge, Vivaldi and Tor Browser. See More

Top Con

Saving new credentials isn't as easy as it should be

When registering on a new site, Bitwarden pops up a button to ask if you'd like to save credentials (as most equivalent products do). But the button disappears VERY quickly, so often requires manual entry of passwords See More

RespectfulOdin's Experience

Amazing sync across all my devices, clean UI, great user experience, stays out of my way, just can't live without it ! See More

Top Pro

Native mobile apps for iOS and Android

Top Con

Input of new login needs a 'signed-up with e-mail = 'example@wherever.org' functionality

Often sites won't be able to reset your password if the corresponding e-mail used in sign-up is unknown. See More

Christian Nygaard's Experience

2FA Two factor authentication support with authenaticator, Duo Sec, Yubikey and the Fido U2F standard. See More

Top Pro

Extremely strong encryption algorithm

End-to-end AES-256 bit encryption, salted hashing, and PBKDF2 SHA-256. See More

Top Con

Lack of communication between instance opened in one session

If you use the client's desktop's app, multiple browsers extensions; they all work almost totally independently. Using more RAM as database is opened each time and asking for login more often. Some other passwords managers use desktop's client to open the database and extensions communicate with it in this case. If there's no desktop's, they'll work as standalone extensions. See More

ChillZ's Experience

I did introduce Bitwarden in my company and distributed it to all employees. Now it's impossible not to keep passwords secure, up to date and synced to all who need them See More

Top Pro

Two-step authentication

Offers 2FA with Authy, Google Authenticator or via email. Additionally, the Pro Version has Duo Security with Duo Push, SMS, phone call, and U2F security keys: YubiKey (any 4 series device or YubiKey NEO) and FIDO U2F (any FIDO U2F certified key). See More

Top Con

The autofill sucks

The autofill is tedious - many clicks/taps required to trigger it. It doesn't help that the extension is slow to open. See More

SuccessfulAshnan's Experience

Easy to use. See More

Top Pro

Web vault

Possibility to manage passwords without installing the app or the browser plugin. See More

Tomasz's Experience

I was using LastPass before. I find Bitwarden intuitive and offering better price/value ratio. See More

Top Pro

Auto-fill remembers last user

When a site has multiple credentials (like I have for some brokers and banks), then the most recently used is automatically populated (if auto-fill is opted). This feature is unique (to my knowledge) and spectacular (especially for sites that log you off frequently and re-logging in is required). See More

Ajay Kumar Rawani's Experience

Awesome ! See More

Top Pro

Works in command line

And is basically just a bunch of GPG-encrypted files stored in a folder. See More

Top Con

Not super user friendly

Might be a little too low-level (even with GUIs) for some teams of users. See More

ShojiVR's Experience

not user friendly is dealbreaker for me, best password manager always has GUI so all user can use it without require technical knowledge See More

Specs

Supported platforms:Linux,, OSX, Android, iOS, SailfishOS

Browser integration:Chrome, Firefox, Qutebrowser

Encryption methods:GnuPG

License:GPLv2

Top Pro

Free and open source

Top Con

Exposes the names of the sites

By default each file is named 'google.com.gpg' - so someone who steals your password directory would know every site you have accounts on. Can be mitigated with plugins like Tomb, but a noteworthy caveat. See More

Nick Anderson's Experience

Good for sharing secrets with other technical people. See More

Top Pro

Full control

You are not forced to rely on any other service provider than yourself. Like saving them on a remote server as in the case of LastPass. You don't have to extend your trust (to LastPass or any other provider). See More

Top Con

Not hosted = not accessible

As everything is stored locally, there's no way to access your passwords while on public computers, etc. without exposing your private key to the world. You'll have to manually enter your passwords while looking at your phone, etc. See More

Top Pro

Ultra portable

As it has both Git support and encrypts passwords to GPG-encrypted text files, it is really simple to access everywhere. You can either use a self-hosted or a personal cloud hosted Git repository. It is automatically being kept up-to-date. Clients for pretty much everything and a really active community. Even if you can't run a client you will still be able to access the password by decrypting them from the Git store. See More

Top Con

Not ideal if you have to use Windows

While windows clients technically exist, this program is quite obviously aimed at UNIX-like systems. If you have to use Windows (eg. for work) then it'll be difficult to get everything set up properly. See More

Top Pro

Has cross platform GUI clients

It has a Qt-based GUI, an Android and iOS app, a Firefox plugin, a Golang GUI app, an interactive CUI, a dmenu script, OS X integration, and also an Emacs package. See More

Top Con

No webapp for easy shared access

Top Pro

Not using a database

It doesn't use a database like, for example, KeePass and thus doesn't open all passwords at once. Just one at a time. See More

Top Pro

Allows storing password history

You can version-control the encrypted files using Git, which allows you to track all changes done. See More

Top Pro

Adheres to Unix philosophy

Does one thing and does it well. See More

Top Pro

Uses standard components

As GPG and Git are widely used, it relies on thoroughly tested and secure functionality. See More

Top Pro

Scripts for importing passwords from different services

Top Pro

Multi user suppport

You and your team can share a repo and different subtrees can be encrypted for different sets of GPG ids. See More

Top Pro

Support for extra functionality via plugins

For example the plugin "pass-extension-tail" makes it possible to only display the non-password parts of a password file, like the username or the name of the service the password is needed for, and without showing the password. See More

Top Pro

Minimal

It's very easy to understand what the program does, why it's doing it, and how it's secure. See More

Top Pro

Has git support

See All

KeePass

Top Pro

Free and open source

KeePass being open source means that a number of people have reviewed the code and found it to be secure. See More

Top Con

Not particularly modern UI

Difficult to use for new users. Small font. See More

To Euston's Experience

I tested a load of password managers fairly recently and decided to use Google Smart Lock for my browser autofill and KeePass for my password backup, plus offline passwords and sensitive information. KeePass does everything you want for free and the security level is very high. Other password managers talk a good game but then have a security scare each year. Not so with KeePass. See More

Specs

Supported platforms:Windows, macOS, Linux

Browser integration:Safari, Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera

Encryption methods:AES-256 (Rijndael), ChaCha20, Twofish, Serpent

License:GPLv2

Top Pro

Cross-platform desktop and mobile

Available for Windows, with unofficial ports for Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. See More

Top Con

No good cross platform syncing ability

E.g. between Windows and mobile. See More

Rüdiger Hahn's Experience

I tested Lastpass, 1Password and Dashline (in this order). All of them had more or less problems with multiple accounts for the same Website. However, the biggest problem I had with them was the fact that they store all data in their own cloud and that they don't have standalone apps. Last not least some want to be paid and they all are not Open Source. All these disadvantages of the mentioned password managers are the big advantages of KeePass. Additionally there are very useful plugins available for KeePass. I do really love it and it does its job very well! See More

Top Pro

Reliable

KeePass is consistent and stable across all clients including merging conflicts between desktop and mobile apps. See More

Top Con

Officially supported only on Windows, Mono or Wine

While there are ports available for Linux, OSX, iOS, Windows Phone and Android, the only officially supported version of KeePass 2 is on Windows and all platforms running Mono like Linux, Mac OS X, BSD. KeePass 1 is supported on Windows and Wine. See More

Kobold's Experience

I use this by installing it on every computer, then having my generated key on onedrive and putting the database on a bitlocker usb. So, the actual passwords are with me at all times. Therefore if someone steals the usb they have to de-encrypt it, however the database is still encrypted. See More

Top Pro

Powerful built-in password generator

Password generator can be adjusted to use or exclude certain characters, patterns, external algorithms and principles. See More

Top Con

Outdated website

Extremely outdated website, which deters news users. See More

Nick Anderson's Experience

Easy enough for non-technical people to use. See More

Top Pro

Autofills passwords securely

KeePass uses a feature called AutoType that pastes passwords in browser window using a combination of virtual keystrokes and clipboard obfuscation for added security against keyloggers. See More

Top Con

iOS support for syncing (not true -> KeePass Touch)

KeePass Touch supports a whole range of cloud sync options. iOS clients still have somewhat limited syncing options for password files - such as DropBox. See More

CooperativeKakka's Experience

Love it - secure, reliable, FOSS, cross-platform (PC, iPad, iPhone, etc) My only gripe is that things get a little confusing if I forget to sync the database file back into cloud storage after an edit or if multiple people edit the same file at the same time. There can be merge conflicts. Once in a while I need to export the database file to a text file, do a file compare between conflicted versions and manually resolve the differences. See More

Top Pro

Does not depend on the cloud

Unlike many other password management tools, by default the KeePass encrypted database is not stored in the cloud, but strictly locally, for added security. See More

Top Con

Balkanized app ecosystem

There are a lot of different KeePass apps made by different people depending on your platform, e.g. Firefox, iOS, etc. Quality can be inconsistent and you need to trust each different set of authors. See More

rptaddeu's Experience

The best one. High security. Multi platform. Sync with Dropbox. Lot's of features. Supports plugins See More

Top Pro

Can be used as a portable application

Works as a portable application that does not need to be installed and can be carried around in an external device. See More

Top Con

No true multi-user and logging

Does not support multiple logins (different credentials) to database. See More

IntuitiveTumatauenga's Experience

Discrimination Free!!! See More

BonLena's Experience

It works. It can get a little complicated but it works and it is safe. See More

Top Pro

Extensive plugin and extension support

Keepass offers a range of plugins and extensions in different categories: Integration & Transfer, Automation & Scripting, Cryptography & Key Providers, and others. See More

alphaw8lNf's Experience

Amazing.. having been using it for ~ 6 years.. flawlessly. See More

Top Pro

Allows storage of attachments such as pictures, documents and all kinds of files in general

Appending attachments to individual credential entries allows things like scanning important documents (for instance a scanned document containing the login information for your internet connection), appending them to the corresponding credential entry and afterwards destroying the original paper copy. See More

InterestingLatona's Experience

Always available,no loos ends. Confident in the security. . Search for the paeewords. always delivers. See More

Top Pro

Offers multiple sync options

Since the database is stored locally it can be synced across devices using a cloud storage service like Dropbox, Google Drive or via a file sync tool like BitTorrent Sync. KeePass v2 also provides a powerful built-in synchronization mechanism that allows setting appropriate level of sync, kind of sync, and choosing between a number of sync sources (Dropbox, Drive, etc). See More

RickZeeland's Experience

Free and open source cross-platform pasword manager, the database from your PC can be used on Android with the Keepass2Android app, Google Drive, Dropbox or Onedrive can be used to sync the database. See More

sami's Experience

I use Keepass for all my passwords (I have a lot) and I have to say that its just awesome. Only the design (UI) could be better/ more modern. But on the other hand it also makes it kind of trustworthy. IDK See More

Top Pro

Intuitive categorization options and search for managing entries

Entries can be categorized in folders and subfolders and quickly found using search. See More

Sam Close's Experience

It's a solid system for keeping passwords secure, and I highly recommend. See More

Top Pro

Built-in history that tracks changes to individual credential entries

With the built-in history you can lookup previous passwords, track changes in general and if necessary recover those. In essence you are looking at a built-in Version Control System (VCS) which operates on single entries. Browsing the history of specific entries also displays associated metadata like the date of a change. See More

DelightfulSamshinHalmoni's Experience

Doesn't depend on own cloud, and doesn't use the intenet(only for update check if enabled) See More

Top Pro

Allows useful scripting via KPScript plugin

KeePass can set global hotkeys to fill in credentials while on a sites log-in screen. Scripting can launch a site or other application and perform any necessary log-on steps securely. It requires the KPScript plugin. See More

Top Pro

100% Free

No paid version. Free for everyone. See More

Top Pro

Various iOS clients available

e.g. KeePass Touch, MiniKeePass. See More

Top Pro

Customizable password records

Users may define any extra fields (eg. "Surname", "Credit Card No", "Start Date", "Expiry Date" and "Security No") and their values may then be easily copy-and-pasted when required. This is a great feature not found in a lot of password-managers: they leave you to consign such additional information to the "Notes" section. See More

Top Pro

Clear, concise user interface

This app has the easiest, cleanest, and clearest user interface. For reference, LastPass has progressively gotten worse and worse and is now a confusing mess, while Keepass remains very user-friendly. See More

Top Pro

Works inside Android apps

There are variations in support of features, so this is dependent on the Android app being used. Keepass2Android is one that has built-in synchronization over ssh and other protocols, fingerprint support and plugins are also supported to a certain extent. See More

Top Pro

Recommended by a number of European governments and the EU

KeePass is recommended by the German Federal Office for Information Security, the European Commission’s Free and Open Source Software Auditing (EU-FOSSA) project, and the French Network and Information Security Agency. See More

Top Pro

Support in iOS Safari browser

Top Pro

Blackberry support

Keepass has an available Blackberry app that not only makes it easy to use on the go, but will work with any files backed up in the cloud for ease of access to stored passwords used on different machines. See More

1Password

Top Pro

A clean, good-looking and intuitive UI

An iteration on the UI brings a polished look that was already good-looking to begin with. It even tries pulling in relevant app and web icons, adds credit cards logos and has little animation to make the experience more pleasant. See More

Top Con

Not open source (free/libre)

This application is proprietary, and thus cannot be modified, freely distributed, or trusted to be secure. See More

UnderstandingPhilomelus's Experience

1Password is a game changer, it works on every device, every operating system, in the browser, in the terminal, with your family, with your job, with the remaining pieces of the mind you're slowly losing! They think of everything, and every couple of months I'll notice some improvement to something I already thought couldn't get any better. It's the best money I spend that doesn't go to my health.

Peter J. Mello's Experience

After too many years watching LogMeIn run LastPass into the ground, I finally migrated to 1Password for both personal and enterprise use, and what a treat it has been! The client software is constantly updated with new features, the prioritizing of which the development team is extremely engaging with the users and very straightforward in responses to feedback. Technical support is lightning quick and ridiculously knowledgeable, traits that are almost as abundant among the userbase as well. It's worth every penny and then some. See More

Top Pro

Browser integration

Easily fill in passwords with a single keystroke combination. Quickly add new and update existing passwords right from the browser when the login is detected by the free browser extension. See More

Top Con

Default is subscription model

Top Pro

Can perform an audit on passwords

1Password can checks for weak, duplicate and old passwords you have stored. See More

Top Con

Support sucks

Support does sometimes does not read requests thoroughly, and offers ham-baked or non-workable sulutions. See More

Ray's Experience

It has the best UI/UX I've seen across password managers. I especially like the Touch ID support that makes it a breeze to unlock vaults - no more typing the master password every time. The full data encryption is also handy for storing secure notes, sensitive documents, and license keyfiles safely. See More

Top Pro

Easy to use autofill and password generator

Automatically logs into websites, enters credit card information, fills registration forms, and easily generates strong passwords. Password generator can be adjust to use or exclude certain characters and patterns. See More

Top Con

Unintuitive and slow responding UI

A hot mess of desktop applications and browser plugins that are supposed to work together, but don't always do. Browser plugins frequently become unresponsive and are very basic in comparison to other solutions. See More

darylclaudio's Experience

An essential app that sees frequent, daily use. Never had to look into password management alternatives. Grandfathered pay-once user since 2010. Fortunately, there aren't many incentives for me to switch from 1Password 6 to the paid subscription model. See More

Top Con

Does not auto-fill and generate passwords in Microsoft Edge for Windows 10

The 1Password Edge extension doesn't work as well as in other browsers, as it can't auto-fill and generate passwords. Only LastPass seems to have a fully-functional browser plugin for the Edge browser at this time. See More

LoveableRudraige's Experience

I am looking for a Lastpass replacement, but found that 1Password is even worse. While the mobile integration is OK (not great!), their browser plugins killed the deal for me. For starters, they are incredibly slow. Sometimes, you click on the icon and it takes like 10 seconds before the plugin responds in any way. However, it doesn't stop there. The plugins also have trouble recognizing web pages at times. Once that happens you have to search the web page manually and the copy the password. Since the Apple fan crowd is touting this as their favorite password manager, I was expecting top notch user friendliness along with many users. Instead, I got a slow and unintuitive UI providing me with very basic functionality. I basically tested it based on the TOP PRO recommendation found here, but some credit card logos and icons don't make a good and functional UI. A good UI needs to be responsive and functional!

On-disk format is resilient against advanced attacks

In a 2012 paper by P. Gasti and K. B.

SeniorTechnician(Retired)'s Experience

I had 24 years in the I.T. Industry (retired 2012) in all forms of troubleshooting and repair, and in Data and Disaster Recovery. Roboform was the "Pioneer" (1st) in Password Management (PWM). I've been using RoboForm since it was released. I frequently compare Apps (Apps = Applications/Programs) that's why I'm here commenting. I was curious as to the number of PWMs now. I've read the reviews. Always REMEMBER THIS! WHEN IT COMES TO SECURITY! FREE IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I do not know who reviewed and rated the PWMs, or is they are getting a kickback/payola/graph/payoff or commission on their reviews! DO YOU!? I'll be sticking with RoboForm, and I'm not getting paid to comment. https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisperron/ See More

AES-256 encryption

Military grade encryption but weak master password hashing algorithm. See More

Top Con

Insecure password hashing algorithm

WEAK hashing: Roboform only uses 4096 iterations of PBKDF2 with SHA-256. Bitwarden and 1Password use 100,000 iterations. NIST requires AT LEAST 10,000 iterations of PBKDF2 with SHA-256. See here. See More

Adding new passwords and updating existing ones requires little manual work

When logging in a website for the first time, RoboForm will offer to save the login credentials via a pop-up. The pop-up allows creating a new entry or replacing an existing one with the information supplied. And if a password has been changed without updating the entry in RoboForm, the application will offer to update the password next time it's used. See More

In addition to being capable of filling in usernames and passwords even in places other popular password managers tend to fail, RoboForm can also fill in a wide variety of other form fields such as long registration or checkout forms that require personal, credit card, banking and other information. To enable form fill functionality an identity has to be created and all relevant information supplied. It's possible to use multiple identities and identities created from login credential entries. In case of multiple identities a drop-down will offer choice in which to use. See More

Top Con

No Linux version
