Bitwarden Password Manager 4+

Does nearly everything one would need. 3rd party certification puts it next to 1Password and others. Open source. Features & improvements added occasionally. Free if you need basic password management & sync. For most people, it’s about $10-22 annually if you need more features such as premium support or secure sharing for family / team. Working with “Organizations” & “Collections” is key to sharing encrypted records. It’s available on basically any platform, all of which sync, and if all else fails you can login via web browser. Good interaction with OS and browsers, FaceID & TouchID. Clears clipboard after 30 sec (or whatever threshold you set). Still hoping for a “local backup” option, so an encrypted backup file can be kept, just in case the main cloud database becomes corrupt. Biggest bug I’ve seen (as of April 2019) is some of the search functions are intermittently buggy in Safari (both the extension and even logged into web vault). It’s a minor issue as search works fine in iOS and MacOS X apps. Also works great in Brave Browser (Chrome). May also be related to the fact that Safari extensions library is very slow to approve updates (an Apple delay), so Safari extension is always a couple months behind. Aug 2019 also saw a bug regarding auto-syncing new items. Some users reported auto-sync to cloud was not initiating as it had before, and you had to manually sync each time you made a change. I’m hoping this gets resolved.

First of all. I’ve always wanted to have a password manager due to the fact that having the same password for everything was never a good idea, well after a few fraudulent purchases on my debit card, enough was enough. I went searching online for a password manager and I really didn’t want to pay for one. Then boom Bitwarden came into play, what once was a free alternative to a password manager soon became THE BEST password manager. It’s pretty secure from what I’ve seen so far and since it’s open source there’s a lot of avenues you can do to secure your passwords. You can use almost any 2FA system ( I’ve been really enjoying OTP Auth because you can export your authentications just in case something happens to your phone) and a multitude of many other things, Bitwarden also lets you secure credit and debit cards, IDs, and secure notes, and it also auto generates passwords and you can control how you want to go about that. You can also export your all your passwords to a .Json or excel file if you want a local backup. They also offer a premium which is $10/yr that gives you a few more goodies but honestly to the average person who wants to keep your stuff secure you don’t need it, though honestly if you can afford it I suggest you do so you can support these amazing devs. Thank you Bitwarden, you made password security free, easy, clean.

I test apps and I work from my phone, so I have so many logins that it’s unreal… plus I have one million passphrase for cryptocurrency wallets. This app literally holds it all. That is such a huge help for me, you have no idea. I CANNOT lose a wallet passphrase or I’ll lose ALL of my invested currency in that wallet. And I’ve had to reset my password in random apps so many times, it’s become beyond frustrating . Plus a really cool feature of this app is that you can press the check mark next to your saved password for whatever login and it’ll instantly tell you if your password is secure or if it’s been breached and needs to be changed. A couple of my passwords had been breached 42 times!!!! So I changed them ASAP. It blew my mind. The app is legit and free for the most part. I recommend and give it 5 stars. If anything changes, this review section will be the first to know!

Edit: I forgot to add that even tho this is a great secure app, please please please set up 2-factor authentication. This kind of info is more than necessary for it, more like mandatory (in my humble opinion). Don’t be lazy like I used to be. Set it up.
