10 Best Password Managers to Secure Your Digital Assets

Password managers are a life-saver, especially for people like me, who forget almost every password. In this age, we make so many accounts and somewhere down the line end up using one password for multiple sites.

It is convenient but it is risky as well. If one of the sites gets hacked, before you know, your other sites or probably all accounts get hacked! Now that’s not what you want, right?

So, in a situation as this, using password manager becomes a necessity. Now, there are multiple password managers. Which one do you choose? Which one do you believe is the best?

It is necessary to keep in mind that password managers not only save you from remembering the passwords but also keeps your information secure and private. Did I confuse you further? Not to worry, I listed down the best password managers that you can go for without worrying about your privacy.

Just in case you are short on time:

Dashlane

The free version of Dashlane is great. You can store the logins for a maximum of 50 accounts in a secure vault. It has multi-factor authentication. It does more than simply fill in passwords, you can store any type of information and fill out forms with contact details and delivery addresses automatically.

The premium version of Dashlane is, in simple words, impressive. You can synchronise all your passwords across your desktop, mobile, tablets, etc. It doesn’t stop here – it monitors dark web to see whether your data is breached or not. You get personalized alerts if your data is stolen.

You also get a VPN for browsing securely via Wi-Fi hotspots and secure file storage which suits best for storing your scanned IDs, receipts, insurance and bank documents. Needless to say, you get priority support.

All these features are amazing but these services are available at a higher price.

  • Mobile Apps: iOS and Android.
  • Browser Plug-ins: Firefox, Chrome, Edge

The Pros

  • Easy synchronization between devices.

NordPass

NordPass is a capable password manager. It not only helps store your passwords but also helps you in suggesting strong passwords that are not easy to guess. You can also safely save your banking and credit/debit card details for easier and faster checkouts on ecommerce sites.

If you go for a premium version, you can sync all this data with a maximum of 6 devices per one license! The free version allows only one device so, syncing doesn’t come in the picture.

You can save innumerable passwords as there’s in no limit to it, unlike some password managers who cap it. However, NordPass doesn’t fill your name, address, contact details, etc. like some password managers offer.

It has browser plug-ins for Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Firefox. It has desktop app for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

Overall, NordPass is a great password manager that does more than expected. You may be happy to learn that they are going to add autofill feature which is missing in the password manager as of now and is slated for a future release.

  • Mobile Apps: Android and iOS.
  • Browser Plug-ins: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera.

1Password

1Password is a great option for almost everyone – be it individual, family, or an organization. It provides shared password protection platform for families.

As discussed in details in our 1Password review, it has two plans, with one focusing on individuals and their families – be it a single user or a family of five people (you need to pay a dollar more for every extra person). Then there is business plan which works for organizations, teams, and enterprises.

Along with the above, 1Password helps you from breaches, phishing attempts, keyloggers, etc. and works only and only in verified and trustworthy browsers.

It is a very secure and wonderful password manager that covers your personal and professional needs without comprising security and peace of mind. Did I mention that it is very inexpensive compared to other password managers?

LastPass

LastPass is a feature-packed password manager. It is super easy-to-use and is very secure. It has both free and premium tiers so that you can opt the one that’s best for you.

All the data in LastPass is stored by using AES-256-bit encryption with salted hashes and PBKDF2 SHA-256 so that your data can be kept safely and securely. You can feed in your credit card details, banking details, email addresses, contact details, addresses, etc. so that they can be auto filled while checking out from ecommerce sites. You can even save documents of insurance policies, encrypted notes, etc. without a worry.

The free version of LastPass is as good as the premium one. But one of the most useful extra features of premium version is the ability of logging into apps on your phone. Not every password manager offers this feature. It comes in handy especially if you happen to lose your phone. It prevents people from getting access to your social media accounts and email ids.

One of the best features offered by LastPass is multi-factor authentication. It protects your data from phishing attempts by requiring an added form of verification or authorization either in the form of code from mobile app or fingerprint scan etc. Recently, many of the password managers are offering this feature but not everyone is offering it.

The password generator provides that is strong but too difficult to remember. Every password is very unique. You have to create a new record in this password manager to access password generator.
