Preliminary ramble and side note: Please note that I am aware of, and have tried, many popular other "Free" password managers over the years, including KeePass, LastPass, PassPack, EnPass, LogMeOnce and a few others that slip my mind at the moment.įeel free to check them out for yourself (links have been provided) however, none of the above have been included in this review because I personally found them to be either lacking in what I consider important features or just plain clunky in their day to day use. Here I'm going to review what I think are the Top 5 password managers currently available and discuss some of their strengths and weaknesses.Īll the Password Managers reviewed in this article are the absolute latest current versions available at the time of writing. I've been using Password Managers for several years and I've tried out just about all of the popular (and some not so popular) ones. My hope is that this article will help encourage folks to change their habits and secure their online information and identities. So many still use the same passwords used on most of the websites they visit as well. Despite the warnings plastered all over the web about why you should use one, I constantly see sticky notes with passwords stuck to monitors, under desks and unprotected spreadsheets with lists of websites and all the login information needed to access the accounts. ![]() It never ceases to amaze me how often I still notice people (and business clients) that don't employ the use of a Password Manager.

I'll worry about that whenever.īy the way, Zemana Anti-Malware (ZAM) has recently begun offering a version for phone/tablet computers. I haven't researched to see which functions will go away, & how much the PRO costs. If you don't go PRO, then LastPass will continue to work for you - minus some functions. After that, if you want to retain PRO capabilities, it costs $$. It will also do passwords for other apps, if you ask it to (settings). For online surfing, LastPass does this job via its built-in Chrome-based browser. (It offers to run real-time, but I gave that job to Avast).ģ) LastPass for password management (free, however => keep reading). I haven't tried any of that yet.Ģ) MBAM (free) for second opinion full scans, on-demand. ![]() Avast offers some other stuff that is NOT free. ![]() On-demand, Avast runs full scans & (if you tell it to) will also clean up apps that have been closed but are still lingering in the background, using RAM. ![]() 1) Avast (free) for antivirus & firewall - runs real-time.
