I made a Comparison Table to find the Best Password Manager
Hey everyone! Recently I started thinking about purchasing a password manager for my family and myself. With all the cyber threats going around recently (did you know that a random, eight-character password can be hacked within eight hours?), I am starting to lose all trust in saving my password anywhere else.
After a brief research, I don’t know why, but I was very surprised about how many different options we have here. And boy, it is hard to choose the one you like from the first sight. Also to know which product is legitimate and which is just the work of an excellent marketing team.
So I took some time over the past few days and did an in-depth research myself (my inner nerd was very happy about it). And thought that I would share it with you as well.
The top criteria I was looking for:
- Privacy features: I looked mainly into 4 different areas (MFA, Biometrics, Data Breach alert, and Encryption) as it was most important for me, and made a separate table for them as well evaluating it by numbers.
- Credit card safety: Another feature I was looking for was saving a credit card. As I shop online quite often, I wanted to have my credit card details on hand and autofill them instantly and still feel safe about it.
- Password health check: I think it is a great feature to see if my passwords are easy to hack as sometimes I am not as creative as I think I am with my passwords. I guess the password generator feature will be helpful in this area too.
Here is the Comparison Table.
As it was done for my own research, let me know if there are other brands that you think I should include. Also feel free to suggest any other criteria for the table. Let’s make this as helpful as it can be for everyone like me who has no idea how to choose the best password manager out here.
