Best password manager

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Based on the price the value is exceptional. Bitwarden is part of my workflow a long time ago.

Pros:

Beside the fact that Bitwarden is completely open source and validated by security companies, it has a ton of functionality that really improves security at home and within an organization.

Cons:

I can't really tell a lot. Sometimes I had to initiate the sync manually when I had to use the password between devices, but that is usually rare.

Alternatives Considered:

Highly recommend over other password vaults

5.0 last month New

Pros:

Organized way of saving and protecting passwords, clearly very secure, and I love that it also generates passwords that meet specific criteria too.

Cons:

The autofill function doesn't consistently work on many web pages which can be frustrating but easily overcome.

Very confusing for set up and use

2.0 10 months ago

Comments: Very, very frustrating. Also disappointed because I had invested a fair amount of time comparing different password managers and thought this one would work. Instead it turned into a huge waste of time.

Pros:

That it was free - I appreciate that at least I did not lose money when I deleted my account.

Cons:

User interface, help, instructions, etc. very hard to follow for beginner. It was difficult getting started, and I never could find a satisfactory answer on why there are both a web app and a browser extension. There are also mobile and desktop apps. I could not tell if we needed all of the apps installed, and if not, why would we have desktop, web, and extension all on same computer?

Great professional password manager

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Great password manager, easy to roll out across the organization.

Pros:

The ability to seperate personal and work passwords, automatic form fillers, collections to seperate passwords per client.

Cons:

I can't really think of anything to be honest.
