Regardless of the password manager you use, it’s important to protect your data with a strong master password-we have advice for how to do that below.
Good protection for your passwords: You’re trusting your password manager with your entire digital existence, and your password manager should store your data securely.A good password manager needs to use strong encryption to protect your data on your computer, on your password manager’s server, and when your data is moving between the two. But those promises of security only go so far, so we require that any password managers we recommend participate in regular third-party security audits (preferably ones they make public) and have a bug bounty program. Security audits aren’t perfect-they are just a snapshot of the software and infrastructure-but they are a signal of trust and transparency. Unlimited password storage: Any paid password manager should be able to store an unlimited number of passwords and other records, and enough free ones offer unlimited storage that you shouldn’t settle for less.#Roboform for safari browser software#Ĭompatibility: A great password manager runs on just about anything, regardless of what hardware and software you and your family use.Sync between devices (and no limits on the number of devices you can use): You probably have more than one device that you use every day, between your home computer, your work computer, your phone, and your laptop a good password manager should offer cloud syncing so that your passwords are accessible anywhere on an unlimited number of devices. Password managers should receive frequent updates, especially after large operating system changes (like the launch of Windows 11 or macOS Monterey). This helps plug any security holes and shows that the developers are frequently working on the app. Desktop and laptop compatibility: A password manager should have a Windows and macOS app you can use to browse, add, and edit your information.We looked at three different kinds of compatibility. We noted Linux compatibility but didn’t require it.
Web browser compatibility: We tested only those password managers that offered browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.Support for ChromeOS is generally covered by Chrome browser extensions.
