It's Time to Get a Password Manager: Bitwarden, 1Password, Dashlane, LastPass

Bitwarden


Bitwarden is the most transparently secure password manager we tested; it's built on open source code that's subject to regular security audits. The app is also free, making it a good choice for the password-manager curious. Advanced users like the ability to study the code, and they can even host Bitwarden on their own server. The free account has no limitations, but premium accounts ($10 a year) offer extras like support for logging in with a YubiKey and advice on strengthening your passwords.


1Password

The most user-friendly service of this bunch, 1Password seamlessly integrates with login windows to autofill passwords across all your browsers and apps. This is especially true on iOS, where the procedure is smoother than it is on other platforms. Features like Travel Mode, which automatically deletes sensitive data from devices before you go on a trip, and Watchtower, which identifies weak or reused passwords, help justify the cost: $36 a year for one user, $60 for the whole family.


Dashlane


A comprehensive, step-by-step setup makes Dashlane the best choice for those new to password managers. The free tier securely stores your passwords on one device. Shelling out $5 a month syncs your encrypted info across multiple devices and earns you features like Site Breach Alerts—Dashlane monitors the web to make sure your personal info isn't being sold on the black market. If it is, the app notifies you and helps you change any compromised passwords.
