The best password managers

Password managers are falling into one of the most popular application categories. The need to generate unique, strong and secure passwords, which are also different from each other, together with the ability to keep all passwords safe in one place, is really attractive. In addition, from our smartphones we can have these managers at any time and place. Currently, there are dozens of password managers for PC, Mac, Android or iOS, so it can be difficult to choose the best of them or, at least, the one that is best able to respond to the particular needs of each user. In order to assist in this complicated task, Joe Hindy has compiled what he believes could be the best password managers today. Let's see!

1 Password

1Password is one of the best and most popular password managers, which has the approval of a long history and thousands upon thousands of users. It has many of the basic features, including the obvious password management, the generation of strong and secure passwords, cross-platform support so that you can use it in the different operating systems that you manage, and much more. In addition, it has an unlock password that makes it more secure, as well as other functions and organization and security features. If you don't know it, 1Password offers a free 30-day trial. If he responds to what you need, after that time you must subscribe to one of his plans.

aWallet Password Manager

aWallet Password Manager securely stores your passwords, credit card information, electronic banking credentials, websites, etc. It allows you to organize your passwords into categories that you can create and change with custom icons. It is free, does not contain ads, allows specific search and is automatically blocked after a period of inactivity. It also allows you to create a backup and restore the encrypted data file on a USB device. Finally, it also offers a single payment PRO option that includes, among others, the function of generating passwords.

Dashlane

Dashlane is also one of the most popular password managers of the moment. It offers a wide variety of features and a good level of encryption. Its free version includes automatic password filling, security alerts, storage of up to 50 passwords, although its use is limited to a single device. Apart from this, it has two subscription modalities. The cheapest of them offers unlimited password storage, synchronization between all your devices, as well as monitoring the Dark web and secure VPN.

Bitwarden Password Manager

One of the newer password managers is Bitwarden and yet it seems to be "surprisingly good". Joe Hindy says that developers "seem to take all of this password management very seriously." The application includes AES 256-bit encryption, with seed and PBKDF2 SHA-256 (a technology that helps prevent brute force attacks). The application is also completely free, open source, and you can host it on your own server. It even supports Android AutoComplete API.

1Password, aWallet Password Manager, Dashlane or Bitwarden are just four of the best password managers you can find today and, according to their coach, they occupy the first positions in this ranking. However, there are many other high-quality options such as Enpass, with versions for PC, Mac and Linux, Keepass2Android, one of the most basic, simple and also safe, the very popular LastPass, or Password Safe and Manager, among many others.. Search, try and decide. Which one do you prefer?
