And that’s only if you pay, because the free version is viable. It was easy enough to import my LastPass credentials to Bitwarden via CSV file, which is a great first step and meant I didn’t have to face the arduous prospect of recreating thousands of stored logins. But whenever I visited a site with saved credentials, I had to keep an eye on the small Bitwarden Chrome extension icon to see if there was a number indicating it had a corresponding login. Meanwhile, LastPass, 1Password and Dashlane all autofill (with incredible accuracy) based on stored credentials, then offer an in-browser icon in the off chance they got the login details wrong. Admittedly, it’s a small extra step for Bitwarden, but its more clicks than you need for three other password managers. Alternatively, on computers, you can right-click in the browser, hover over the Bitwarden menu and select an autofill option to manage logins. I do wish the Bitwarden Windows software had access to a password generator, but the Bitwarden Google Chrome extension has an easy-to-access password generator that gives LastPass a run for its money. It can be used to generate usernames, passwords and passphrases, with simple control over length and composition, as well as number of minimums for numbers and special characters. The Bitwarden Android app is very easy to use, and I appreciate that the keyboard defaults to incognito mode whenever you’re using the app. Unlike 1Password, you can also use a PIN to unlock Bitwarden on mobile, which is infinitely more convenient than typing in your master password every time you need credentials. Admittedly, this is standard across the board, with 1Password having a slight edge over its premium competitors with a savvy Travel Mode. Using Bitwarden gifts peace of mind with security inclusions like end-to-end encryption, breach notifications and biometric authentication. There is a password-strength testing tool, but that’s via a browser rather than integrated into the Bitwarden Chrome extension, software or apps, which is a missed opportunity. Admittedly, regardless of the password manager you use, it’s a good idea to use the Bitwarden Password Strength Testing Tool to check the viability of a master password. Get your master password (or any other password) to an ETA of “centuries” to crack, and you’re good to go.

A high-scoring password manager is one that offers plenty of features. The basics are a given—namely, secure credentials storing, a password generator and autofill—but premium password managers should also offer other features like secure document storage, password sharing and a digital wallet. We also like password managers that offer a free version so users can try before they buy or some other form of trial. Because a password manager’s job is to securely store sensitive data, we appraise security carefully, which starts with military-grade encryption. A good password manager offers end-to-end encryption, biometric authentication options and breach notifications when a user’s credentials may have been compromised. Bonus points for services that can be used as authenticators, offer breach protection, and ones that haven’t had a recent data breach.
