Web browser compatibility: We test only those password managers that offer browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Support for Chrome OS is generally covered by Chrome browser extensions. We note Linux compatibility but don’t require it.

Desktop and laptop compatibility: A password manager should have a Windows and macOS app that you can use to browse, add, and edit your information.

We look at three different kinds of compatibility. Password managers should receive frequent updates, especially after large operating system changes (like the launch of Windows 11 or macOS Monterey), which helps plug any security holes and shows that the developers are regularly working on the app.

Compatibility: A great password manager runs on just about anything, regardless of what hardware and software you and your family use.A good password manager should offer cloud syncing so that your passwords remain accessible anywhere on an unlimited number of devices.

Unlimited password storage: Any paid password manager should be able to store an unlimited number of passwords and other records, and enough free ones offer unlimited storage that you shouldn’t settle for less.Privacy: A password manager shouldn’t share data with third parties for advertising, so we check both the privacy policies and the mobile apps to confirm that they aren’t sharing data they aren’t supposed to.Security audits aren’t perfect-they offer just a snapshot of the software and infrastructure-but they are a signal of trust and transparency. But those promises of security only go so far, so we require that any password managers we recommend participate in regular third-party security audits (preferably audits that they make public) and have a bug-bounty program. A good password manager needs to use strong encryption to protect your data on your computer, on your password manager’s server, and when your data is moving between the two. Good protection for your passwords: You’re trusting your password manager with your entire digital existence, and your password manager should store your data securely.

Plus, Bitwarden isn’t as polished overall and lacks the in-app guidance of 1Password, which makes it harder for beginners to get the hang of. Check it out.The free version of Bitwarden gets the basics right and doesn’t cost a thing, but it lacks a few features that make 1Password such a standout option, such as password checkups and 1 GB of encrypted storage (all features you can find in Bitwarden’s reasonably priced, $10-per-year premium plan).
