These may have a few limitations when compared to the paid software listed below, but they still hold up as very capable password managers. We’ve also come up with a list of the best free password managers.
We shortlisted a list of paid and free options that we felt covered a broad number of use cases - including solutions that are tailored to business users and others that would work well for families.Īny app that included less run-of-the-mill features, like biometric authentication were also considered. Given the sheer number of options for the best password managers now available, narrowing down the ones to include in this review was no easy task.įirst of all, we researched the market for all major password managers and reviewed most of them (there's a list of them at the bottom of this page). As mentioned above, password managers will also automatically generate strong, unique passwords and warn users if their passwords are weak or if they’re reusing passwords across accounts.
Using their master password, users can access their stored passwords on any device, and the password manager will autofill them on all their sites and apps. How does a password manager work?Īt their simplest, consumer-grade password managers store user passwords in an encrypted digital vault that is protected by one master password, the only password the user will ever have to remember again. They then simply store these passwords in a "vault" for access using a "master password" - so basically one password to rule them all. Password managers also remove the mental challenge usually associated with creating near-uncrackable passwords by generating and storing them for you. We can’t support that, as we don’t control it or have any access to those systems, but you can call the UIS Service Desk for assistance.And yet, the humble password manager is the tool of choice to manage our every increasing number of passwords.Įvery computer or phone user has hundreds of login and password combinations and attempting to remember all of them is near impossible, especially when for services you registered for a while back and hardly used ever since. The University VPN (also free) can be found at. There’s a VPN client we’ll direct you to once your account is setup. You can apply for our VPN at, it’s free for all CSCS users.
A classic John Lennon lyric, it’s 25 characters long, really easy to remember, really easy to type, but it is mathematically harder to crack because it contains upper and lower case characters, spaces, and punctuation. A good example would be Imagine there’s no heaven. Ideally (for technical reasons I won’t bore you with) more than 15 characters is better. For example P455w0rd£ is a rubbish password. There is no Safari or Internet Explorer/Edge addon, my recommendation would be to use Chrome or Firefox Password Managersĭon’t make it complex and hard to remember, make it LONG.
