The Best Password Managers

bitwarden KeePass Lastpass 1Password
  1. Bitwarden is a free and open source password management solution for individuals, teams, and business organizations.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    • Freemium
    • $10.0 / Annually (Premium)
    The only downside is that BitWarden doesn’t feature a full offline mode, but as LifeHacker reader binaryvisions points out: “an entire sync of your vault occurs when you log in,” so you can technically use BitWarden even if you’re offline as long as you’ve synced your most recent password data.

  2. KeePass is an open source password manager. Passwords can be stored in highly-encrypted databases, which can be unlocked with one master password or key file.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Trading the flair of a paid product for the security and transparency of an open-source program feels fine to us—especially when you’re getting an app with lots of features (including a full offline mode that you can use on a desktop or from a thumb drive). While the app’s official version only supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, there are a number of “unofficial” builds for other platforms and devices distributed on the KeePass website. That includes an Android app, Keepass2Android, that can sync with the desktop version.

  3. LastPass is an online password manager and form filler that makes web browsing easier and more secure.
    Complaints mostly center on LastPass’ pricing (and lingering concerns over a 2015 security breach), but that’s less of an issue now that you can synchronize your passwords across all of your devices using LastPass’ free version—formerly a premium-only feature. Free users can also auto-fill passwords, access a password generator, and store tokens for 2FA authentication.

  4. 1Password can create strong, unique passwords for you, remember them, and restore them, all directly in your web browser.
    Pricing:
    • Paid
    • Free Trial
    • $36.0 / Annually
    The personal option is $3 per month and includes unlimited encrypted password storage, 1GB of file storage, 2FA protection, and a “travel mode” for adding extra security to your account while abroad, plus multi-device access across Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, Linux, and Chrome OS. 1Password is our favorite looking password manager, by far, and its credential-sharing features (for other family members or coworkers who also use 1Password) are robust and easy to use. And we love all the different techniques 1Password uses to show you if your passwords are actually safe, including comparing them against lists of known breaches.
