Best Password Manager For 2023 - Comparison

[@ShannonMorse]

If you ask me why I didn't mention keepass then that tells me you didn't watch the entire video. 😘 Props to the folks who watched til the end! Y'all the real MVPs ❤️

[@JavierChaparroM]

Have you ever tried PassBolt?

[@Jonathan3C3]

- Dashlane supports hardware keys and adding multiple keys + Windows Hello PIN by adding the keys under Security settings ---> Biometric unlock. You can actually see it exactly as you are saying it doesn't have the feature, written under "Unlock with authenticator". Just turn it on and you can add keys ;) - One of the few solution letting you chose Key derivation. - Sure auto filling for apps is a small limitation depending on what you use but it doesn't mean the support is limited. Also passwordless authentication and using push notification in authenticator app is more and more used. - The autofill works flawlessly and I haven't had issues on Android. - It's not only a no-knowledge policy but like other solution a zero-knowledge architecture. There is a bias for 1Password as it's the one you cover the most and have an affiliate link for. Still you may want to refine Dashlane's review and validate some technical aspects. I use both Dashlane and 1Password (and used LastPass and others before) and they are both very good, autofill being better with Dashlane.

[@Wooden_pillars_]

New to the channel curious what your thoughts are on antivirus software. Thanks for the great content and channel quality!

[@aaronmicalowe]

The best password manager is your brain, but not everyone can afford the subscription fee. 😂

[@manp1039]

i have question about 1Password. If a person paid for that subscription and perhaps a few years later they didn't pay.. would all their data data still be accessable to the user?

[@jmr]

I'm betting Bitwarden .... Now I'll watch.

[@LazyTechTony]

I just moved to that one but I’m not a fan

[@Fr_g]

It's really good imo, the free option is great and I'll buy a subscription soon just to support it

[@Fr_g]

@@LazyTechTony Why not?

[@jmr]

@@LazyTechTony It's a good one because you can self host it.

[@chris122380]

I left Dashlane for Bitwarden. Bitwarden has the best import of any password manager I've ever used. Bitwarden also has the best URI support for using apps or multiple web addresses for the same service to autofill. The main reason that I couldn't stay with Dashlane was its poor handling of multiple urls for the same service and its poor Auto filling of apps which Bitwarden handles without a glitch.

[@mrkmdz]

Hey Snubs. It would be really great if you could do a deeper-dive into the security testing and certifications for each of these password managers. Some publish the results of their network penetration tests, code reviews and industry certifications (such as ISO27001) and offer to provide their SOC 2 results upon request. Some only talk about their testing and certifications but provide no details. And one doesn't describe any security testing or certification at all. Since most consumers have no understanding of these processes, (especially a SOC2, which, if not well understood can be easily misinterpreted), I think you doing a deep-dive into the topic would be an outstanding benefit to the community.

[@PaulMoore-t1h]

To be fair, Shannon isn't qualified to do a deeper-dive; a high-level overview is about the limit.

[@DetectiveMartin]

Thank you so much. This is the info I was needing to leave LastPass.

[@noenken]

I don't think a zero knowledge policy is worth mentioning anymore. Lastpass was advertising with that as well and .... I don't think so. So for me it is open source client and the option to use my own storage. Everything else can't be trusted in my opinion.

[@Jimbo7270]

Lastpass sent me here... and I was NOT disappointed. Would love to see Part 2! A good password manager is SOOO important these days!

[@kenlucas5849]

Last Pass sent me here too. I watched her video because I’m a Last Pass user, and want to move to another service due to their breach. I got here from the video she did on the Last Pass breach.

I would love to know how Proton Pass stacks up. Thanks so much for doing this hard work of distilling all this info so that the rest of us have an easier time making these important security decisions!

[@donpeer4477]

Please do a video comparing Keepass. It's my personal favorite because it's free; it's cross-platform; the database is encrypted with either the industry-standard AES256 or you can choose the Twofish block cipher. Also, most importantly, the database is NOT in the cloud and, thus, not vulnerable to attack. I have it on MY computer and can carry it on flash. Just my two cents. ;)

[@frankbrown4890]

You mentioned a risk assessment. I think that would be the best starting point for most people please do a video on conducting a personal risk assessment.

[@saundi]

Really interesting! Looking forward to part 2, I wonder if there are some pro/cons about self hosted keepass vs managed service I have never thought about yet 😁

[@DeadBird-wp9of]

I changed from Keepass to Bitwarden due to the quality on MacOS-Software - respectivly the lack of… Due to your recommendation I added Proton to my portfolio (E-Mail - Drive - VPN) - Thank You.

[@Wyrenth]

Could you include iCloud Keychain in your features/pros/cons? I don't know that I'd call it a fully-featured password manager, but some comparison on how it stands as a product would be handy for those in the cloistered garden.

[@kenlucas5849]

I’m curious about this as well.

[@jongross8288]

I am curious to see a comparison between Apple, Google and Microsoft built in password managers.

[@davidotamayo1]

The only problem i have with icloud keychain is that you just need your phone passcode usually 4 or 6 numbers and you have access to all your passwords. If somebody close knows that code they have access to all your passwords. Or for example in my country there’s a lot of thief’s they will point a gun at you steal everything and ask in front of you for your phone passcode they will type it in front of you so they are sure is the right one after that they have access to all those passwords the most dangerous is your banks usernames and passwords. I’m sorry for my english maybe you don’t have to worry that much to get robbed with a gun pointing at you in the states. Hope i explain a little bit

[@mikehomner4724]

[@amdteng]

Thx for sharing. Can't wait to see your upcoming video on other Password Managers. For now, bitwarden seems to fit my current needs and finances. I don't live in the US so after converting to my currency, it is still affordable if intend to upgrade in the future, that is if they still maintain the pricing lol.

[@TomSedgman]

Thanks for the video Shannon. This is the info I needed to spur me to leave LastPass

[@jwoods4046]

Tech reviews from reliable sources immeasurably appreciated! Common assessment of ‘things looking/feeling dated’ is fair. But just like processors kind of maxing out in consumer platform 15+ years ago, imho graphics are graphics. Is all the coding for UI a possible interruption to the compatibility and functionality of the intended product or user experience? Getting access to pwd, autofill, adding/migrating logins are the focus - so huge preference is not to get distracted in the process with an interesting UI. From a current and previous 1990’s tech - I’ll take smooth and secure functionality over slick interface (as there is immense appreciation for slick UI). :)

[@garolstipock]

@4:40 The issue you mention you have with Keeper and its autofilling hiccups is the very issue I find I have with 1Password, and what pushed me to Keeper to to explore how it performs. Keeper doesn't offer all the extras others do, but for what it does its pretty good. As you said, and its true- its a very easy to work with. What does suck is their lite-nagging to upgrade or to pony up for add-ons.

[@mikkelkirketerp4884]

What functions does keeper lack that you find yourself wanting? I'm pondering getting myself a password manager, that also has support for saving credit cards :)

[@garolstipock]

@@mikkelkirketerp4884 Things like secure notes, some breachwatch function to inform you if your account with some service might be included in a cyber security breach, some secure/encrypted storage. Pretty much those extra add-ons it charges for that other services have included in the service. I came from using LastPass which had these features so was long accustomed to them. Still have to say that some of the faults I expressed with 1Password also exist in Keeper. There seems to be those numerous times in mobile in particular and desktop more times that can be ignored where they don't pick up on filling out credentials. Like they don't see the request for username/password as something they should pop up for and fill out. Also on some new signups, they don't seem to catch them. I find I am now in the habit of making sure I copy the autogenerated password suggested to me by whatever other utility I might use to create the password, because there is no guarantee they will pick it up and make record of the new credential. This of course leaves you without a prayer of knowning password if you did not copy it down and keep it at least until you first tried using the utility to log in. so unfortunate. I just have to leave LastPass, there is no question about it, but frankly, it functioned in everyday use better/consistently/accurately than all of them. Alas, its shortcomings cannot be ignored, for the sake of the security of your data.

[@clinten3131]

Dashlane user here for a couple of years a 10/10 for me and it includes a good vpn for very cheap.

[@rashedulakash5492]

[@arentibbs799]

I think 1Password is probably closest to LastPass in look and functionality. Unfortunately, I found Bitwarden first and am knee deep into BW. Since there is no good way to migrate from BW to 1P, I'll stay with BW. I like the minimalist look and can deal with the quirks.

[@thatguywiththe]

Thank you for the great content, beautifully explained. Would love a part 2 with a deep-dive into each 3 of these at least comparing use cases.

[@SonarMan645]

[@mikeg9b]

I appreciate that most of these password managers have a Linux version.

[@tomisvec]

[@spritefroggy]

Love the Launch figures in the background! I have the same one of good Launch!

[@hurgoz2426]

Thanks again! You know, in my risk analysis, there a balance between cross plateform and centrilised system. Because, in one hand, if you doesn't have solution to keep your password with you, easly, and centrlised, you'll have copy of them, with hundred of version. In other hand, there is the risk of the weakness of the centralised system. So, not really easy to choose.... ^^

[@WorthTalking2]

is there anywhere on the net where a quality, feature-to-feature comparison chart is maintained for password managers? I get that there *can be nuance to how features are implemented in each solution, but for a novice like me, beginning with understanding which solution simply lacks features entirely at a given pay level would help. I've no doubt that the *main points were covered in this video, but if such a comprehensive chart exists, I'd appreciate being pointed in it's direction.

[@calhorelick9912]

[@skrivyd]

Any chance we could get a 2024 version of this? Is LastPass just dead to the world now because they have lost all trust with the 2022 breach, is it possible their efforts since then could give me a chance to be as secure as the other options out there?

[@amytaylorjames]

Shannon thanks for the badass review. I have a couple of questions (btw, I'm no ametuer nor am I an expert in this realm)... 1) How do these recommendations do their behind the scenes security different from LastPass that you believe makes them 'safer'? 2) To play devil's advocate, after the recent breach at LP it's possible to argue that they'll go to town ensuring nothing like this happens again therefore making them more secure than any competitor. Along this line, with so many people/co's bailing it also potentially makes competitors more susceptible to hacker focused attacks. Your thoughts? 3) What do you recommend that compares to LP features for businesses?? Thanks again, you've gained another sub ❤

[@moisejl1]

I just migrated to from a KeePass DB to BitWarden, I have a moderate DB with 300 Creds and BitWarden was to only one to import the data Flawlaessly since it uses the XML export format. The other few i tried (Not all) used the CSV export method that i suspect broke because of some of the password or notes in the DB. Also thats just me but i like that bitwarden is simple, i only need it to store my user and passwords and password notes

Do a part 2. I've been using Keypass for ever. Free version.... No, it's NOT the best, but it's free for me. I can store things on a one-drive, google-drive, etc., if I need to share the file or I want it available on my mobile devices or multiple devices in the house. Is that a security risk? Sure is, but guess what ANY "server side" data file is at risk, it just is. I'd say more at risk being housed at a "manager site" than in the cloud on a one-drive or the like. It would mean somebody is specifically targetting me. (I never knew I was that important). LOL. Sure keypass is a bit difficult, it doesn't autofill, it isn't super portable, etc., but darn it, it works.

[@YT1234-i1i]

Hi, what about KeePass XC with syncthing in pc and KeePass DX on android, have you tried that option? Perhaps it might satisfy you

@Marly G. I like KeePass. I know Snubs isn't totally on board with it because it doesn't satisfy her pretty stringent requirements. For me? It works. I know a lot of people that don't want to use it because it requires local apps or one app (phone) and typing in the passwords (for me, at most being 16+ characters/symbols totally random its a pita, but I don't really worry about my password file being on a server like Lastpass).

One of my banking apps work fine with the two password managers; the other banking app forces me to use an in-app keyboard and I can't even copy-paste anything from my password manager. I can't use a memorable passphrase either since the character limit is way too short. I use their website instead including when I'm on my phone. The app is basically useless to me except for generating OTP codes for those web logins. I've written to them to complain before and they've called me back to... I don't know, appease me with sweet nothings? They've done nothing and I'm willing to bet it's easier to hack into my bank account than my Steam library.

[@azjatek]

@@suntzuthesecond My banks never ask me for full password but only for example 3,5,8,9,14 and the rest is autofill by bank (I guess coz I see only green boxes). It is called masking I guess and I was wondering if pass manager handdle this. But I doub't it.
